    Extractions: Class: Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, prawns, barnacles) Life Eukaryotes Opisthokonta Metazoa (animals) ... Arthopoda Introduction The Crustacea are a subphylum within the Arthropoda that are primarily marine with a few fresh water forms and even fewer are terrestrial. This large and very diverse group includes marine lobsters, crabs, shrimps, prawns and barnacles. The name crustacean is derived from their hard, crusty exoskeleton made from chitin. Although quite diverse, crustaceans are characterised by having three distinct body parts; the head, thorax and abdomen. The head region usually bears a pair of compound eyes and five pairs of appendages (ie., two pairs of sensory antennae and three pairs of mouthparts for feeding). Biramous (Double branched) appendages on the thorax and abdomen are arranged segmentally. One branch is usually the gill branch while the other is the leg branch. There are over 40,000 species of crustaceans known globally which are classified further based on complex body, carapace and appendage morphology. The Ostracoda or seed shrimps have a carapace shaped like that of a bivalve mollusc, which covers the entire body. The Copepoda or krill are small, often planktonic, lack a carapace, have 4-6 thoracic limbs and no abdominal appendages. The Cirripedia or barnacles have a body enclosed by a shell of calcareous plates. The Malacostraca or shrimp-like or crablike forms have eight pairs of thoracic limbs and usually possess swimming appendages on the abdomen. At present ~2333 crustacean species are known from South Africa.

    Extractions: Species: Lepidurus packardi Description of Species: Lepidurus packardi is a small freshwater crustacean. It ranges in size with maturity and nutrition (Rogers, 2001). Its body can be characterized as a smooth protective concave shell or carapace which protects the head and thorax. A pair of eyes is centered atop at the anterior end of its shell. The light sensitive, nuchal organ is between the eyes (Rogers, 2001). Its segmented abdomen is visible (posterior), and the last segment produces a pair of whip-like appendages called cercopods. Vernal pool tadpole shrimp from the genus Lepidurus distinguish themselves with a single leaf shaped paddle between its cercopods (Goettle, 1997). At full maturity

    Extractions: by Jan Parmentier and Wim van Egmond Bosmina longirostris Water fleas belong to the Crustacea, a large group of 'jointed limbed' animals, most of which live in water. Water fleas are placed in the order Cladocera and are probably called 'fleas' because they move through the water by a sort of hopping. Water fleas are very common in fresh water, in Britain you can find about 80 different species, in The Netherlands about a 100 species. Many of them are rare. For most people, water fleas are all similar, but when we look more closely, big differences will be found in morphology and in habits. Acroperus harpae The chief characteristic of the water fleas is that the main part of the body is enclosed in a kind of shell, with the appearance of two lids, but made of one piece. They are interesting animals for the microscopist. Because you can see through them, you can study for instance the beating of the heart and follow the course of the blood cells round part of the body. Their sizes differ from several hundred microns to more than five millimetre for the larger species.

68. Copepod General Biology
    A brief article with diagrams, summarizing the taxonomy, anatomy and distribution of copepods.  
    http://museumvictoria.com.au/crust/copbiol.html
    
    Extractions: A common feature uniting all the copepod orders is a single simple eye in the middle of the head, at least in the larval stage. The cephalosome , a shield over the head and some thoracic segments distinguishes the free living forms. Most are very small, less than 1 mm long, but rare oceanic species are over 1 centimetre. There are several different forms of copepods arranged into ten groups called orders. It is not a simple matter to distinguish the orders of copepods, and impossible without a good microscope. Few biologists attempt to identify copepods beyond the level of order but species diversity has been found by those that have to be very high. Most of the free-living species belong to only three orders. The rest are usually parasitic, some barely recognisable as crustaceans except when larvae. Free-living copepods will be found only by towing very fine nets, certainly less than quarter-millimetre mesh, through a pond or sea-water, or by washing the fauna off marine algae through a net of this kind. Animals which may appear only as a tiny speck to the naked eye may be copepods but their identity demands most detailed microscopic examination of preserved specimens.

70. Copepods
    Information regarding groundwater copepods, with particular reference to Italy, including checklists and links.  
    http://www.luciopesce.net/gw/copepod.html
    
    Extractions: T he copepods are the largest and most diversified group of crustaceans. At present they include over 14.000 species, 2.280 genera and 210 families, a surely underestimated number, inhabiting sea and continental waters, semiterrestrial habitats, or living in symbiotic relationships with other organisms. They are considered the most plentful multicellular group on the earth, outnumbering even the insects, which include more species, but fewer individuals! Particularly, the copepods are the dominant forms of the marine plankton and constitute the secondary producers in the marine environments and a fundamental step in the trophodinamics of the oceans. D uring their long evolutionary history, starting in the Lower Cretaceous, copepods spread over all the continents, as well as they successfully colonized about all the available water habitats of the Planet, becoming well adapted or specialized to very different salinity regimes, from marine and hypersaline waters to continental freshwater bodies, and to a wide range of temperature from the polar to the hot springs waters. C N everthless, the astonishing success of this group of microcrustaceans is due to their symbiotic relationships with other organisms: in fact, they virtually can parasitize or be the intermediate hosts of all the animal groups, from sponges to vertebrates, including mammalians and man, and it is likely that the number of associated or parasitic taxa known today could represent only a small fraction of the living species, especially in marine waters. Copepods that parasitize fish skin and gills are serious pests of commercial importance in both marine and freshwater fish farms.

    Extractions: Arthropods The Phylum Arthropoda contains the Insects, Spiders, Scorpions, Harvestmen, Ticks and Mites, and the Crustaceans , which include the Barnacles Isopods and Decapod Crabs In this LOARS Web Resource we are only concerned with the Arthropods which are found between the tides on rocky ocean shores. One of the major classes within the Crustacean group is the Malacostracans . This group contains the lobsters, crabs and prawns. See the diagram above for the Malacostracan body parts. Arthropods are a massive group of animals and have many more varieties, or species, than all the other groups combined. It is believed that 75% of all animals are Arthropods. The name arthropod is made up from " arthro " meaning joint, and " pod " meaning leg. Arthropod legs are highly adapted for walking, swimming, feeding and gathering sensory information. Some arthropods, such as

73. Amphipod General Biology
    Includes illustrations of anatomy and photographs.  
    http://museumvictoria.com.au/crust/amphbiol.html
    
    Extractions: Two very different body shapes of amphipods are found in shallow marine environments, one long and skinny (skeleton shrimps or Caprellidea), the other compact (Gammaridea). In general gammarideans are flattened from side to side, but more accurately they are defined by the presence of three pairs of uropods (tail-limbs) and usually by having the first two pairs of legs modified to help with grasping food. There is no carapace; seven thoracic and six abdominal segments are visible. The head carries two pairs of antennae, the eyes which are not on stalks, and the mouthparts. Amphipods have seven pairs of walking legs of which the first four reach forward, and the fifth to seventh reach backwards. The abdomen is divided into two parts, three segments with brush-like limbs and three with short immobile rod-like uropods. In some species of Amphipoda male sexual maturity is expressed by the development of bulging eyes and chemical receptors on the antennae. At this stage the amphipod is called a swimming male and he actively searches for a mate. During reproduction, the male amphipod carries the smaller female grasped between its legs, a condition known as amplexus. These mating amphipods can be seen swimming together in rockpools. The sperm are transferred from the male to the female genital duct. The female releases the eggs into a ventral brood chamber where they are incubated during development. The eggs are not attached (as in a crab) but are free in a space enclosed by extra branches of the walking legs. Unlike crabs and shrimps amphipods are not released as zoea that develop into adults after stages of metamorphosis. Instead when released they look very much like their parents. Some species show parental care of their young after they leave the brood chamber.

    Extractions: Research topicS There are at least three types of muscles in crustacean hearts. The cardiac muscle , the ostium muscle and the muscles of cardio-arterial valves. Ostium ( pl. ostia) is a valvular opening on heart wall, from which blood (hemolymph) flows into the heart... There are only a pair of cardio-inhibitory nerves and a pair of cardio-acceleratory nerves projecting out from the CNS to the heart. The heartbeat is always under control by these nerves and hormones. Go to Funa-mushi Shore Say anything to Akira Sakurai! Background crawfishes drawn by TL Brenner

    The copepod nervous system, and sensory mechanisms, escape responses and bioluminescence.  
    http://www.pbrc.hawaii.edu/~petra/copepod.html
    
    Extractions: Copepod Neuroecology (updated November 3, 2006) The study of specializations of the nervous system and the effector systems it controls, in relation to the particular ecological niche an organism inhabits, may be termed "neuroecology." This covers a broad area from sensory input and central processing to motor output and behavior, studied in an ecological and evolutionary context. Because of the relative simplicity of copepod nervous systems, their very similar body plan and the great diversity of ecological niches they have penetrated, and barring only their small size, they make very appropriate animals for neuroecological studies. The following information is biased toward the expertise of the page creators, but we welcome input from others on content, and we hope to provide links to other pages on related topics. Nerve impulses can be recorded extracellularly from both mechanoreceptors and putative chemoreceptors (for details of methods, see
