... lobster's plectrum over the file are generated by stick–slip friction between the two surfaces. We examined the microscopic anatomy, kinematics, acoustics and frictional properties of the California spiny lobster ( Panulirus interruptus )toward the goal of quantitatively characterizing the frictional...

... predictions that a strong jet force is produced during the flip as the tail adducts to the body are not supported by our simultaneous measurements of force production (using a transducer) and the kinematics (using high-speed video) of tail-flipping by the California spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus...

... the scaling of 12 morphological variables, five kinematic variables and six performance variables of tail-flipping by the California spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus . Growth approximated isometry, which validated the use of the proposed scaling hypotheses. For animals from 1 to 1000 g M b , the predicted...

...Robert C. Elson; Allen I. Selverston ABSTRACT Evidence for a persistent Na + conductance was obtained in identified motor neurons of the gastric mill network in the stomatogastric ganglion of the spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus . The cells studied were the lateral gastric and lateral posterior...

...G. G. Turrigiano; A. Van Wormhoudt; L. Ogden; A. I. Selverston ABSTRACT Reversed-phase chromatography was used to separate several forms of cholecystokinin-like peptides (CCKLP) from the pericardial organs (PCOs) of the spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus. Fast protein liquid chromatography of PCOs...

... amplitudes; and (4) the synaptic connectivity ( Fig. 1 ). The PY cell population in these experiments was a mixture of early- and late-firing PYs ( Hartline et al . 1987 ). Pacific spiny lobsters ( Panulirus interruptus Randall) were purchased from Marinus Inc. (Long Beach, CA) and maintained in marine...
