Visual Adaptations of Ontogenetically Migrating Deep-Sea Crustaceans
Title
Visual Adaptations of Ontogenetically Migrating Deep-Sea Crustaceans.
Creator
Whitehill, Elizabeth A. G., Frank, Tamara M., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
Species that are ontogenetic migrators have early life stages (juveniles) that live shallower in the water column than the adults and therefore experience a brighter environment than the adults. This work provides evidence that juveniles and adults of the ontogenetically migrating crustacean species Gnathophausia ingens, Oplophorus gracilirostris, and Systellaspis debilis have evolved visual adaptations to their respective environments. The juveniles use apposition optics that provide greater...
Show moreSpecies that are ontogenetic migrators have early life stages (juveniles) that live shallower in the water column than the adults and therefore experience a brighter environment than the adults. This work provides evidence that juveniles and adults of the ontogenetically migrating crustacean species Gnathophausia ingens, Oplophorus gracilirostris, and Systellaspis debilis have evolved visual adaptations to their respective environments. The juveniles use apposition optics that provide greater resolution, whereas the adults use superposition optics that maximize sensitivity. These animals also have regional specializations to aid in viewing a light field that is brighter above than below, such as accessory screening pigments located dorsally and superposition type optics ventrally. The non-ontogenetic migrators Notostomus elegans and Notostomus gibbosus possess superposition optics as both juveniles and adults, implying that the changes seen in ontogenetic migrators are indeed visual adaptations.

Spatial and trophic ecology of the sawtooth eel, Serrivomer beanii, a biomass-dominant bathypelagic fish over the northern Mid-Atlantic ridge
Title
Spatial and trophic ecology of the sawtooth eel, Serrivomer beanii, a biomass-dominant bathypelagic fish over the northern Mid-Atlantic ridge.
Creator
Geidner, Megan E., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
Abstract/Description
The role of Serrivomer beanii in bathypelagic food webs is poorly known, but abundance and biomass estimates from the 2004 G.O. Sars MAR-ECO Expedition suggest it to have a high level of importance. MAR-ECO, a Census of Marine Life field project, has allowed us to increase our knowledge of S. beanii through spatial analysis, including the congeneric species Serrivomer lanceolatoides, and trophic analysis.

Show moreThe role of Serrivomer beanii in bathypelagic food webs is poorly known, but abundance and biomass estimates from the 2004 G.O. Sars MAR-ECO Expedition suggest it to have a high level of importance. MAR-ECO, a Census of Marine Life field project, has allowed us to increase our knowledge of S. beanii through spatial analysis, including the congeneric species Serrivomer lanceolatoides, and trophic analysis. Serrivomer beanii abundance and biomass exhibited a decreasing trend along the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge from north to south. In terms of size, S. beanii was found to increase as distance from the ridge decreased, suggesting a topographic aggregation strategy. The diet of S. beanii consisted of crustaceans, cephalopods, and teleosts. The trophic results of this study reveal a likely "alternative" trophic pathway in the deep mid-North Atlantic, and perhaps other, bathypelagic ecosystems: higher trophic-level predators are supported by micronektonic invertebrates as primary prey.

Paleoclimate of the Late Oligocene Arctic Ocean: Molluscan Isotopic and Biotic Evidence
Title
Paleoclimate of the Late Oligocene Arctic Ocean: Molluscan Isotopic and Biotic Evidence.
Creator
Port, Rebecca B., Oleinik, Anton E., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
Molluscan isotopic and biotic evidence was used to determine the paleotemperature of the Late Oligocene Arctic Ocean during an important period of climate change. Mollusks were collected from the Nuwok Member type section on the Arctic coast of Alaska. A systematic analysis was conducted to determine the position of Late Oligocene Arctic mollusks within a context of marine Cenozoic evolution and diversification. Oxygen stable isotope ratios of five fossil genera were used to calculate...
Show moreMolluscan isotopic and biotic evidence was used to determine the paleotemperature of the Late Oligocene Arctic Ocean during an important period of climate change. Mollusks were collected from the Nuwok Member type section on the Arctic coast of Alaska. A systematic analysis was conducted to determine the position of Late Oligocene Arctic mollusks within a context of marine Cenozoic evolution and diversification. Oxygen stable isotope ratios of five fossil genera were used to calculate paleotemperatures and analyze growth histories. Taxa were selected to check for compatibility of results between fossil genera from the same environment. Oxygen stable isotope ratios of four recent high-latitude genera were analyzed for comparative purposes. Isotopically derived paleotemperatures represent the first documented quantitative temperatures for the Late Oligocene Arctic Ocean. Isotopic and systematic results give great insight into the extent and degree of Arctic cooling by the Late Oligocene and the origin of modem Arctic mollusks.
