Predation by the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Protoperidiniurn cf. divergens on copepod eggs and early naupliar stages
The heterotrophic dinoflagellate Protopemdinium cf. divergens, known as prey for adult copepods, itself feeds on copepod eggs and early naupliar stages. One to several P. cf. divergens can attack an egg or nauplius larger than themselves. The time for an egg to be digested was proportional to the number of P. cf. divergens attacking it. Ingestion rates of P, cf. djvergens on Acartia tonsa eggs ...

متن کاملInvestigation of the Dinoflagellate Bioluminescence Mechanism: Chemically Initiated Electron Exchange Luminescence or Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer?
Ubiquitous in the world’s oceans, dinoflagellates are capable of fantastic displays of bright-blue bioluminescence. This luminosity is a consequence of the oxidation of an open-chain tetrapyrrole, dinoflagellate luciferin (LH2), by the enzyme dinoflagellate luciferase (LCF). While many other bioluminescence systems are well understood, the reaction mechanism of LCF remains enigmatic. A comprehe...
متن کاملCephalopod Behaviour: Skin Flicks
Cephalopods, such as octopus and squid, can change their coloration in an instant, and even produce moving patterns on their skin. A new study describes these wavelike patterns in a colourful tropical cuttlefish, providing insights into the neural mechanisms that generate them.
متن کاملBat Predation by Spiders
In this paper more than 50 incidences of bats being captured by spiders are reviewed. Bat-catching spiders have been reported from virtually every continent with the exception of Antarctica (≈ 90% of the incidences occurring in the warmer areas of the globe between latitude 30° N and 30° S). Most reports refer to the Neotropics (42% of observed incidences), Asia (28.8%), and Australia-Papua New...
