ABSTRACT Decapods form the backbone of global crustacean fisheries and aquaculture. Palinurids contribute a small percentage of global decapod catches but are of high commercial value. They are currently rarely cultured but some fast-growing tropical species are regarded as one of the “most promising emerging species for aquaculture”. Recent advances in palinurid aquaculture have raised interest in their metabolism, including that of depot lipids. Probably due to past difficulties in palinurid aquaculture, knowledge on lipid metabolism of adults is poor, especially when compared with commercially important aquacultural decapods. However, interpolation of data from other decapod infraorders such as penaeids, from which the bulk of knowledge on crustacean lipids is derived, is problematic. Palinurids have a completely different life cycle, demanding different metabolic requirements than related decapod taxa. Providing energy during moulting and gonad development, depot lipids play a central role in growth and reproduction of palinurids. The high relevance of lipid digestion and accumulation is indicated by the high hepatopancreas lipid content (higher than in other decapod taxa) and the increasing importance of lipids with ontogenesis. The present review intends to provide an overview of the currently available information on the role of those depot lipids in the biology of mature palinurid decapods and regulation of their metabolism.

ABSTRACT Understanding the reproductive biology of the endangered Epioblasma capsaeformis of the eastern United States is critical to conservation efforts at mussel hatcheries. We studied how males influenced gravidity among females held in captivity. Percent males (0%, 33%, 50%, and 67%) within a holding system was used as the predictor variable. Our response variables were percent females observed gravid, number of eggs and glochidia per gravid female, total eggs (sum of eggs and glochidia) per gravid female, and proportion of total eggs successfully fertilized and developed into glochidia. Mean percent of females gravid in the male treatments were 73%, 85%, 69%, and 60%, respectively, with no evidence that treatments differed significantly from one another. However, the treatment without males had significantly lower mean number of total eggs observed (4,533 vs. 5,868 to 7,330), with fewer viable glochidia (1,354 vs. 5,645 to 6,920). Most of the eggs in the treatment without males were unfertilized at experiment completion (3,179 vs. 206 to 410), with a much lower percentage of transformed glochidia (27% vs. 94 to 97%). Our study documents the important role that males play in fertilizing females for production of glochidia and that key reproductive processes occurred in captivity.

ABSTRACT Development of the limpet Testudinalia testudinalis collected from the White Sea was studied using light and scanning electron microscopy. Cleavage and early development of T. testudinalis were consistent with the general pattern of patellogastropod development, differing in only minor details, such as temperature-dependent developmental rates. A pre-torsional veliger radula was detected by calcofluor white staining of unpolymerized chitin. The veliger radula consisted of nine transverse rows with three teeth per row, which transformed into the radula of newly settled juveniles with five teeth per row (one central and two pairs of lateral teeth). The juvenile radula, with two pairs of lateral and one pair of hook-like marginal teeth, resembled the adult radula in terms of teeth form and co-localization. Radula formation differs between the larva and adult in that each tooth is formed by several odontoblasts and microvillar secretion in the former, whereas it is formed by numerous cells and apocrine secretion in the latter.

ABSTRACT Aegla quilombola is an anomuran crab endemic to São Paulo State, Brazil. The present manuscript aims to provide information about sexual dimorphism using geometric morphometrics, as well as information about heterochely, laterality and sexual maturity. The specimens were sampled in Intervales State Park. The carapace and chelipeds of all animals were photographed and landmarks digitalized. In the analyses, the propodus of the first pair of pereopods (chelipeds) were used. The same structures were measured for morphometric sexual maturity, analysing the relationships between carapace length (CL) x propodus height for males, and CL x abdomen length (ABL) for females. For heterochely and laterality, the height of male and female chelipeds were evaluated. Morphological differences were found in the shape of the posterior margin of the carapace and in the chelipeds’ palmar region. Males reached morphometric maturity at smaller sizes and showed heterochely and laterality, usually having a larger left cheliped. These differences are probably related to differential energy use by males and females in fulfiling specific ecological roles. Females had larger abdominal margins to invest in reproduction and males invested energy in chelipeds that were more robust and larger than females, as chelipeds are often used in agonistic interactions and to obtain better resources.

ABSTRACT Most reef-building corals are hermaphroditic and discharge buoyant bundles that contain a mixture of eggs and spermatozoa during the breeding season. The buoyancy of the bundles is due to wax-esters. This study analysed and compared the lipid compositions in eight species of corals. Overall, 60–80% of the total lipid composition of the eggs or embryos of six species, Acropora digitifera, A. florida, A. monticulosa, Dipsastraea lizardensis, Ctenactis echinata, and Pseudosiderastrea tayamai that discharged buoyant eggs was wax-esters. Although Galaxea fascicularis is a dioecious coral, the bundle released from males (or hermaphrodites) contained spermatozoa and pseudo-eggs. Both eggs and pseudo-eggs contained high amounts of wax-esters. In contrast, the wax-ester content in sedimenting eggs released from Oulastrea crispata was very low. Thus, this study confirmed the presence of wax-esters in buoyant egg bundles. This suggests that wax-esters play a role in the dispersal and settlement potential of planula larvae in corals.

ABSTRACT Scorpions often experience food shortages, yet information on their baseline nutritional input is lacking. In many life histories, there is a trade-off between adult size and development time that is interrelated with food availability. We present precise data on the influence of two different feeding regimes that affect development in the buthid scorpion Tityus neibae. The results indicate a strong relationship between the treatment group, sex, morphometrics and life stages. The different diet inputs had no influence on the embryonic development or the litter size but had a major effect on the postembryonic development time and on the life stage when individuals reached maturity. No females or males reached maturity by the 4th instar when fed every two weeks and only males that were fed weekly were able to reach maturity by the 4th. Thus, a trade-off in T. neibae males is apparent, since they can reach maturity earlier in life, resulting in an overall smaller body size that may reduce the risk of predation. By contrast, females may have been selected to reach full development with an overall larger body size that results in an increase in the fitness, the number, or the size of the offspring.

ABSTRACT The sesquiterpenoid, methyl farnesoate, produced by the mandibular organ of decapod crustaceans has a variety of functions including the regulation of moulting, reproduction, morphogenesis, behaviour and osmoregulation. This study used gas chromatography and mass spectrometric analysis to measure the haemolymph concentration of methyl farnesoate during various developmental stages of the ovary of the edible freshwater crab Travancoriana schirnerae. The results revealed exceptionally low methyl farnesoate titres in the haemolymph during the avitellogenic and previtellogenic periods (5.7 ± 0.7 and 12.8 ± 1.3 ng/mL, respectively), reaching a peak in the early vitellogenic period (91.8 ± 3.8 ng/mL), followed by a significant fall during the middle and late vitellogenic stages (32.1 ± 2.3 and 22.1 ± 1.6 ng/mL, respectively). The progressive increase and decrease in the haemolymph titre of methyl farnesoate in accordance with the stages of the ovarian cycle clearly indicated the role of this hormone in growth and maturation of the ovary. Furthermore, administration of methyl farnesoate can be exploited as an alternate method to the traditional eyestalk ablation practised for inducing ovarian maturation and spawning.

ABSTRACT In the embryonic blast cells of leeches, segmental identity is conferred in a cell-intrinsic manner (i.e., with temporal rather than spatial signals), at or shortly after the birth of the cell. If these blast cells are destroyed in only one of the two germinal bandlets that form the ventral midline, this can result in segment-specific features that fall out of register on either side of the leech body. Here we present a specimen of the leech Erpobdella punctata, in which the gonopores have been duplicated and the male and female reproductive tracts are out of register between the left and right sides of the body. To confirm the identity of the specimen, we use a phylogenetic approach and high-resolution stereo microscopy. The probable cause of the phenotypic anomaly is discussed.

ABSTRACT The effect of larval feeding on the life history traits of the mottled emigrant butterfly Catopsilia pyranthe (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) was assessed to link life history variations as a function of food availability. The 0-day-old larvae of C. pyranthe were reared with varying quantity of food (100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 mg/day) against a control set with ad libitum food availability. Significant differences in instar duration and body weight of the larva and therefore fitness were found in relation to the amount of food available. In urban regions like Kolkata, India, disparity in food availability may induce variations in life history traits and thus fitness and survival in C. pyranthe.

ABSTRACT The pleopodal fecundity of Pontastacus leptodactylus from Hirfanlı Dam (Turkey) was investigated. Reproductive period, length at first maturity, as well as the number, weight and diameter of pleopodal eggs were determined. The study was conducted monthly at six different stations from June 2017 to May 2018. Berried females were observed between December and May. L50 length at first maturity of the female crayfish population in the lake was estimated as 9.04 cm and this value is below the applied 10 cm Minimum Landing Size (MLS). The mean egg number of the population was 240.18, the mean egg weight was 0.0122 g and the mean egg diameter was 2.702 mm. While an increase in female total length had a positive effect on mean total egg number, sampling period (progressive incubation period from December to May) caused negative effects. The mean total egg number for 1 mm total length was found to be 2.18. When the mean pleopodal egg number of the crayfish population in Hirfanlı Dam Lake was compared with populations of P. leptodactylus in other localities it was concluded that the stock is quite productive.
