Eco-mechanics of lamellar autotomy in larval damselflies

Free
Jennifer E. Gleason, Douglas S. Fudge, Beren W. Robinson
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2014) 217 (2): 185–191.

Published: 15 January 2014
...Jennifer E. Gleason; Douglas S. Fudge; Beren W. Robinson In larval damselflies, the self-amputation (autotomy) of the caudal lamellae permits escape from predatory larval dragonflies. Lamellar joint size declines among populations with increasing risk of dragonfly predation, but the breaking force...

Göran E. Nilsson, Carl O. Löfman, Mats Block
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1995) 198 (5): 1151–1156.

Published: 1 May 1995
...Göran E. Nilsson; Carl O. Löfman; Mats Block ABSTRACT The secondary lamellae of the gills are the primary sites of oxygen uptake in fish. We have used epi-illumination microscopy in vivo to observe the microcirculation directly in secondary lamellae of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and roach...
