متن کاملLocalization and electrical activity of the distance chemoreceptors that mediate predator avoidance behaviour in Acmaea limatula and Acmaea scutum (gastropoda, prosobranchia).
1. The marine gastropods Acmaea (Collisella) limatula and Acmaea (Notoacmea) scutum respond to distant predatory starfish (i.e. to starfish scent) by moving up a vertical surface. 2. The distance chemoreceptors that mediate this avoidance behaviour are located on the mantle margin. Heat cauterization of the limpets' mantle margin eliminates their responsiveness to Pisaster ochraceus scent, whil...
متن کاملBody-size variation exhibited by an intertidal limpet: Influence of wave exposure, tidal height and migratory behavior
Body size variation of the intertidal limpet Lottiu digitalis (Rathke) and the factors responsible for maintaining it were examined at three central California intertidal sites differing in wave exposure. Limpet body size increased with increasing tidal height. This increase in size with tidal height was correlated with exposure to wave splash and migratory behavior. In areas of high and interm...
متن کاملExposure to solar radiation drives organismal vulnerability to climate: Evidence from an intertidal limpet.
Understanding the physiological abilities of organisms to cope with heat stress is critical for predictions of species' distributions in response to climate change. We investigated physiological responses (respiration and heart beat rate) of the ectotherm limpet Patella vulgata to heat stress events during emersion and the role of seasonal and microclimatic acclimatization for individual therma...
متن کاملInteractions between the limpet Patelloida latistrigata and algae on an intertidal rock platform
The small acmaeid limpet Patelloida lat istr~gata Angas and clumps of macroalgae are found in midshore intertidal regions dominated by barnacles. Interactions between limpet and algae were investigated experimentally to determine the effect of the herbivore on microalgae (this term includes propagules of macroalgae) as well as on macroalgal plants, and also the influence of both forms of algae ...
