Effects of social organization on inter-clonal dominance relationships in the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima
In the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima contact between non-clonemates often elicits inter-clonal fighting, involving the application of nematocyst-laden fighting tentacles (acrorhagi) and the locomotory retreat of losing polyps. This study confirms that isoclonal aggregations of A. elegantissima display an inducible polymorphism, such that polyps at the inter-clonal boundaries (warriors) ...

amygdala. Both conditioned stimuli and emotional faces produce strong amygdala activation when presented unconsciously, emphasizing the importance of the amygdala as an implicit information processor and its role in unconscious memory. Findings regarding the human amygdala are mainly at the level of the whole region rather than nuclei (Figure 6). Structural and/or functional changes in the amyg...
متن کاملFine-scale thermal adaptation in a green turtle nesting population
The effect of climate warming on the reproductive success of ectothermic animals is currently a subject of major conservation concern. However, for many threatened species, we still know surprisingly little about the extent of naturally occurring adaptive variation in heat-tolerance. Here, we show that the thermal tolerances of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) embryos in a single, island-breeding ...
متن کاملVariation in partner benefits in a shrimp—sea anemone symbiosis
Symbiotic interactions, where two species occur in close physical proximity for the majority of the participants' lifespans, may constrain the fitness of one or both of the participants. Host choice could result in lineage divergence in symbionts if fitness benefits vary across the interaction with hosts. Symbiotic interactions are common in the marine environment, particularly in the most dive...
متن کاملClone-specific cellular recognition in a sea anemone.
A highly specific cellular recognition system, capable of distinguishing between syngeneic and allogeneic tissue, exists in Anthopleura elegantissima, a sea anemone that lives in clonal colonies and attacks foreign clones. During the attack, specialized surface protrusions (acrorhagi) are used for stinging. The recognition process was studied by presenting various tissues to the surface of infl...
