Mantis shrimp display
both coloured and polarized light for communication. This often takes the form of a 'meral spread' in which the frontal appendages are opened to reveal species-specific coloured spots. The polarized light information is found mainly on the paddle-shaped flaps, parts of the antennae, on either side of the head. (As humans can't see polarized light, this information is depicted in the photograph ...

We report the case of a 25-year-old female who experienced two immediate episodes of labial, lingual and larynx angiodema after eating fried mantis shrimp (Squilla empusa), a crustacean belonging to the Squillidae family, and a third episode after eating shellfish pudding. Prick by prick tests to mantis shrimp and to other crustacean were positive. Serum specific IgE showed higher values than 0...
متن کاملComparative spring mechanics in mantis shrimp.
Elastic mechanisms are fundamental to fast and efficient movements. Mantis shrimp power their fast raptorial appendages using a conserved network of exoskeletal springs, linkages and latches. Their appendages are fantastically diverse, ranging from spears to hammers. We measured the spring mechanics of 12 mantis shrimp species from five different families exhibiting hammer-shaped, spear-shaped ...
متن کاملUltraviolet Photor~~~ptio~ in Mantis Shrimp
An UV-sensitive class of photoreceptors exists in all regions of the retinas of mantis shrimps. UV photosensitivity apparently resides in rhabdomeres of the eighth retinular cell (RS) that lies atop each rhabdom; and in ommatidia where the Rg rhabdomere consists of microvilli parallel in a single direction, ~nsiti~~ is maximal when the e-vector of plainly light is parallel to the mi~ro~Ui, Spec...
متن کاملContests with deadly weapons: telson sparring in mantis shrimp (Stomatopoda).
Mantis shrimp strike with extreme impact forces that are deadly to prey. They also strike conspecifics during territorial contests, yet theoretical and empirical findings in aggressive behaviour research suggest competitors should resolve conflicts using signals before escalating to dangerous combat. We tested how Neogonodactylus bredini uses two ritualized behaviours to resolve size-matched co...
