ANTENNULAR CHEMOSENSITIVITY TO FEEDING STIMULI IN THE SPINY LOBSTER PANULIRUS ARGUS
Title
ANTENNULAR CHEMOSENSITIVITY TO FEEDING STIMULI IN THE SPINY LOBSTER PANULIRUS ARGUS.

JOHNSON, BRUCE RAYMOND, Florida Atlantic University, Ache, Barry W., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
Abstract/Description
Antennular chemoreceptors of P. argus were surveyed electro-physiologically to determine their relative sensitivity to low molecular weight components of the shrimp, Penaeus duorarum. An ultrafiltrate (less than 1,000 molecular weight) of shrimp extract did not differ significantly in stimulus value from the total extract itself. A mixture of the 19 amino acids present in the ultrafiltrate was slightly less stimulatory than the total extract. Taurine alone approximated the stimulus value of...
Show moreAntennular chemoreceptors of P. argus were surveyed electro-physiologically to determine their relative sensitivity to low molecular weight components of the shrimp, Penaeus duorarum. An ultrafiltrate (less than 1,000 molecular weight) of shrimp extract did not differ significantly in stimulus value from the total extract itself. A mixture of the 19 amino acids present in the ultrafiltrate was slightly less stimulatory than the total extract. Taurine alone approximated the stimulus value of the amino acid mixture at its component concentration. Taurine was also the most stimulatory of the 19 amino acids when compared at the homogeneous 10^-3 M concentration. Taurine is the major individual stimulant of shrimp extract but a contribution is also made from other non-amino acid low molecular weight compounds.

CHEMOTAXIS IN THE FLORIDA SPINY LOBSTER, PANULIRUS ARGUS
Title
CHEMOTAXIS IN THE FLORIDA SPINY LOBSTER, PANULIRUS ARGUS.
Creator
REEDER, PAMELA BIRDE., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
The relative importance of chemosensory input from the medial vs the lateral antennular flagellae to the orientation behaviour of the spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, is examined. The experimental results show that the lateral filament, specifically the aesthetasc tuft of the lateral filament, is necessary and sufficient to effect chemotaxis in this organism. Results further demonstrate a role of lateral filament input in both tropotactic and klinotactic mechanisms of odour orientation.

PERIPHERAL MODULATION OF CHEMOSENSORY ACTIVITY IN THE SPINY LOBSTER, PANULIRUS ARGUS.

Abstract/Description
The physiological effect of antennular flicking was analyzed behaviorally and electrophysiologically in the spiny lobster, Panulirus argus. Behavioral studies indicate that glycine and L-glutamic acid cause a transient concentration-dependent increase in flick rate. Electro-physiological analysis of primary chemosensory afferents indicates that flicking modulates ongoing chemically-elicited activity in approximately half of the units observed by causing either a brief increase or decrease in...
Show moreThe physiological effect of antennular flicking was analyzed behaviorally and electrophysiologically in the spiny lobster, Panulirus argus. Behavioral studies indicate that glycine and L-glutamic acid cause a transient concentration-dependent increase in flick rate. Electro-physiological analysis of primary chemosensory afferents indicates that flicking modulates ongoing chemically-elicited activity in approximately half of the units observed by causing either a brief increase or decrease in the frequency of impulses. Responses of remaining units were not altered by flicking. Antennular flicking is discussed as a mechanism to prolong the address of the peripheral chemoreceptors to the central nervous system and allow the lobster to prolong its awareness of the chemical environment.

Abstract/Description
Periodic movements of the olfactory organs in the spiny lobster known as antennular "flicking" temporally enhance the response of the olfactory receptors to changes in the odor environment. The temporally enhanced response onsets as a series of transient discharges phase locked with the flick. This response pattern results from superimposed increases in stimulus concentration at the receptor sites due to flicking modulated permeability of a chemical diffusion barrier surrounding the receptors...
Show morePeriodic movements of the olfactory organs in the spiny lobster known as antennular "flicking" temporally enhance the response of the olfactory receptors to changes in the odor environment. The temporally enhanced response onsets as a series of transient discharges phase locked with the flick. This response pattern results from superimposed increases in stimulus concentration at the receptor sites due to flicking modulated permeability of a chemical diffusion barrier surrounding the receptors, presumably created by the densely packed nature of the receptor hair tuft. It is concluded that flicking provides the lobster with a physiological mechanism to compensate for the indiscrete temporal nature of chemical stimumi.

Abstract/Description
Panulirus argus inhabits western Atlantic coastal waters from North Carolina to Brazil; the planktonic larvae are potentially capable of colonizing the entire species range during their greater than six month existence. Alternatively the larvae may, despite their potential for dispersal, settle-out close to the site at which they were hatched. Restriction endonuclease analysis of P. argus mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) suggests that the species range is divided into local populations. One specimen...
Show morePanulirus argus inhabits western Atlantic coastal waters from North Carolina to Brazil; the planktonic larvae are potentially capable of colonizing the entire species range during their greater than six month existence. Alternatively the larvae may, despite their potential for dispersal, settle-out close to the site at which they were hatched. Restriction endonuclease analysis of P. argus mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) suggests that the species range is divided into local populations. One specimen from Key West, Florida, showed a unique cleavage pattern for at least one endonuclease (BstEII) when compared with twenty-three individuals from the middle and upper Florida Keys. When the lower Keys sample was compared to the middle and upper Keys samples, a tenfold increase in the number of mtDNA base changes was observed in contrast to the same comparison for an upper Keys sample.
