Odontodactylus Havanensis
''Odontodactylus'' is a genus of mantis shrimp, the only genus in the family Odontodactylidae. Mantis shrimp of the genus ''Odontodactylus'' can not only detect circular polarisation of light, but can also detect polarised light reflecting off their telson and uropods. The genus ''Odontodactylus'' contains the following species: *'' Odontodactylus brevirostris'' (Miers, 1884) *'' Odontodactylus cultrifer'' (White, 1850) *''Odontodactylus hansenii'' (Pocock, 1893) *'' Odontodactylus havanensis'' (Bigelow, 1893) *''Odontodactylus hawaiiensis'' Manning, 1967 *''Odontodactylus japonicus'' (de Haan, 1844) *''Odontodactylus latirostris'' Borradaile, 1907 *''Odontodactylus scyllarus'' (Linnaeus, 1758) Image:Shortnose Mantis Shrimp (11354376784).jpg, '' Odontodactylus brevirostris'' Image:Odontodactylus cultrifer (MNHN-IU-2014-23106) 002.jpeg, '' Odontodactylus cultrifer'' Image:Odontodactylus latirostris.jpg, ''Odontodactylus latirostris'' Image:Odontodactylus scyllarus.jpg, ''Odont ...

Odontodactylus Scyllarus
''Odontodactylus scyllarus'', commonly known as the peacock mantis shrimp, harlequin mantis shrimp, painted mantis shrimp, clown mantis shrimp, rainbow mantis shrimp, or simply mantis shrimp, is a large Stomatopod native to the epipelagic seabed across the Indo-Pacific, ranging from the Marianas to East Africa, and as far South as Northern KwaZulu Natal in South Africa. There are roughly 480 species of Stomatopod. These crustaceans are well known for their raptorial claws, exceptional vision, and their unique way of interacting with other marine species. In the marine aquarium trade, it is both prized for its attractiveness and considered by others to be a dangerous pest. Description ''O. scyllarus'' is one of the larger, more colourful mantis shrimps commonly seen, ranging in size from . They are primarily green with orange legs and leopard-like spots on the anterior carapace. Their ability to see circularly polarised light has led to studies to determine if the mechanisms ...

Uropod
Uropods are posterior appendages found on a wide variety of crustaceans. They typically have functions in locomotion. Definition Uropods are often defined as the appendages of the last body segment of a crustacean. An alternative definition suggested by Frederick R. Schram restricts the term to those structures arising from the segment before the anal segment (the segment which carries the anus). Under this latter definition, the appendages of the anal segment are caudal ramus, caudal rami, which are analogy (biology), analogous to uropods. Form Uropods are typically biramous – comprising an endopod and an exopod. The exopod is typically the larger, and may be divided in two by a transverse suture known as the diaeresis. The uropods may work in concert with the telson to form a "tail fan". References {{Reflist, 32em Crustacean anatomy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Odontodactylus Japonicus
''Odontodactylus'' is a genus of mantis shrimp, the only genus in the family (biology), family Odontodactylidae. Mantis shrimp of the genus ''Odontodactylus'' can not only detect Circular polarization, circular polarisation of light, but can also detect polarised light reflection (physics), reflecting off their telson and uropods. The genus ''Odontodactylus'' contains the following species: *''Odontodactylus brevirostris'' (Miers, 1884) *''Odontodactylus cultrifer'' (White, 1850) *''Odontodactylus hansenii'' (Pocock, 1893) *''Odontodactylus havanensis'' (Bigelow, 1893) *''Odontodactylus hawaiiensis'' Manning, 1967 *''Odontodactylus japonicus'' (de Haan, 1844) *''Odontodactylus latirostris'' Borradaile, 1907 *''Odontodactylus scyllarus'' (Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus, 10th edition of Systema Naturae, 1758) Image:Shortnose Mantis Shrimp (11354376784).jpg, ''Odontodactylus brevirostris'' Image:Odontodactylus cultrifer (MNHN-IU-2014-23106) 002.jpeg, ''Odontodactylus cultrifer'' Image:Od ...

Portable Document Format
Portable document format (PDF), standardized as ISO 32000, is a file format developed by Adobe in 1992 to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Based on the PostScript language, each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, vector graphics, raster images and other information needed to display it. PDF has its roots in "The Camelot Project" initiated by Adobe co-founder John Warnock in 1991. PDF was standardized as ISO 32000 in 2008. The last edition as ISO 32000-2:2020 was published in December 2020. PDF files may contain a variety of content besides flat text and graphics including logical structuring elements, interactive elements such as annotations and form-fields, layers, rich media (including video content), three-dimensional objects using U3D or PRC, and various other data formats.

Telson
The telson () is the hindmost division of the body of an arthropod. Depending on the definition, the telson is either considered to be the final segment (biology), segment of the arthropod body, or an additional division that is not a true segment on account of not arising in the embryo from teloblast areas as other segments. It never carries any appendages, but a forked "tail" called the caudal furca may be present. The shape and composition of the telson differs between arthropod groups. Crustaceans In lobsters, Caridea, shrimp and other Decapoda, decapods, the telson, along with the uropods, forms the tail fan. This is used as a paddle in the caridoid escape reaction ("lobstering"), whereby an alarmed animal rapidly flexes its tail, causing it to dart backwards. Krill can reach speeds of over 60 cm per second by this means. The Induction period, trigger time to optical stimulus (physiology), stimulus is, in spite of the low temperatures, only 55 milliseconds. In th ...

Raymond Manning
Raymond Brendan Manning (October 11, 1934 – January 18, 2000) was an American carcinologist, specialising in alpha taxonomy and mantis shrimp. His zoological author abbreviation is Manning or sometimes R.B. Manning. He has authored over 500 taxa. Biography Raymond Manning was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1934, but moved almost immediately with his mother to Haiti. They lived in Bethesda, Maryland, for the duration of the Second World War, but then returned to Haiti, to live in a house in Port-au-Prince owned by Raymond's adoptive father. Raymond was sent to a boarding school in Tampa, Florida, and studied at the University of Florida, gaining his B.S. (1956), M.S. (1959) and Ph.D. (1963) degrees from the University of Miami. While at university, Manning met and married Lilly King, who would be the illustrator for his scientific papers throughout his life. On completing his doctorate, Manning was immediately appointed an associate curator at the Smithsonian Institution. Scient ...
