... stage, relatively little is known about this possibility for thermal tolerance. Here, we used locally adapted populations of the copepod Tigriopus californicus to investigate these potential effects in an intertidal ectotherm. We found that low latitude populations had greater critical thermal maxima...

... used the marine copepod Tigriopus californicus reared on a carotenoid-free or a carotenoid-restored diet of nutritional yeast and then exposed them to a pro-oxidant. We found that carotenoid-deficient copepods not only accumulated more damage but also were more likely to die during an oxidative...

...Iman Borazjani; Fotis Sotiropoulos; Edwin Malkiel; Joseph Katz SUMMARY We integrate high-resolution experimental observations of a freely hopping copepod with three-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the role of the copepod antennae in production of hydrodynamic force during hopping...

...R. Patrick Hassett; Elizabeth L. Crockett SUMMARY Effects of habitat and acclimation temperature on cholesterol contents were examined in oceanic and inshore species of copepods. The cholesterol content of five species of thermally acclimated copepods was determined, and nine species (representing...

... by marine diatoms negatively impact the reproductive success of their principal predators, the copepods. Several oxylipins,products of the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids, are produced when these unicellular algae are damaged, as occurs during grazing. In the past, the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum...

...Edwin Malkiel; Jian Sheng; Joseph Katz; J. Rudi Strickler SUMMARY Digital in-line holography is used for measuring the three-dimensional(3-D) trajectory of a free-swimming freshwater copepod Diaptomus minutus , and simultaneously the instantaneous 3-D velocity field around this copepod. The optical...

...Giovanna Romano; Gian Luigi Russo; Isabella Buttino; Adrianna Ianora; Antonio Miralto SUMMARY The diatom-derived aldehyde 2- trans -4- trans -decadienal(DD) was tested as an apoptogenic inducer in both copepod and sea urchin embryos, using terminal-deoxynucleotidyl-transferase-mediated dUTP nick...

...Luca A. van Duren; John J. Videler SUMMARY Feeding and escape swimming in adult females of the calanoid copepod Temora longicornis Müller were investigated and compared. Swimming velocities were calculated using a 3-D filming setup. Foraging velocities ranged between 2 and 6 mm s -1 , while...

...Luca A. van Duren; Eize J. Stamhuis; John J. Videler SUMMARY Particle image velocimetry was used to construct a quasi 3-dimensional image of the flow generated by the feeding appendages of the calanoid copepod Temora longicornis . By scanning layers of flow, detailed information was obtained...
