Download or read book Physiology of Mollusca written by Karl M. Wilbur and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physiology of Mollusca, Volume II focuses on the physiology of mollusks, as well as feeding, digestion, mechanics of the heart, metabolism, and pigmentation. The selection first offers information on feeding and digestion, including Amphineura, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, anatomy of the gut, movement of food, and digestive diverticula. The text then elaborates on feeding and digestion in cephalopods and heart, circulation, and blood cells. Discussions focus on food and feeding, mechanics of heart and circulation, control of the heart, cardioregulatory substances, and blood cells. The publication considers respiration, molluscan hemoglobin and myoglobin, and molluscan hemocyanins. The text then examines the pigmentation of mollusks, carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism, physiology of the nervous system, and sense organs. Topics include indole pigments, sugar and polysaccharides, metabolism of nitrogenous compounds, terminal products of nitrogen metabolism in mollusks, and synaptic transmission. The selection is a dependable reference for readers interested in the physiology of mollusks.

Download or read book Biology and Evolution of the Mollusca, Volume 1 written by Winston Frank Ponder and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 900 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry diseases, while many non-marine molluscs are threatened by human impacts which have resulted in more extinctions than all tetrapod vertebrates combined. This book and its companion volume provide the first comprehensive account of the Mollusca in decades. Illustrated with hundreds of colour figures, it reviews molluscan biology, genomics, anatomy, physiology, fossil history, phylogeny and classification. This volume includes general chapters drawn from extensive and diverse literature on the anatomy and physiology of their structure, movement, reproduction, feeding, digestion, excretion, respiration, nervous system and sense organs. Other chapters review the natural history (including ecology) of molluscs, their interactions with humans, and assess research on the group. Key features of both volumes: up to date treatment with an extensive bibliography; thoroughly examines the current understanding of molluscan anatomy, physiology and development; reviews fossil history and phylogenetics; overviews ecology and economic values; and summarises research activity and suggests future directions for investigation. Winston F Ponder was a Principal Research Scientist at The Australian Museum in Sydney where he is currently a Research Fellow. He has published extensively over the last 55 years on the systematics, evolution, biology and conservation of marine and freshwater molluscs, as well as supervised post graduate students and run university courses. David R. Lindberg is former Chair of the Department of Integrative Biology, Director of the Museum of Paleontology, and Chair of the Berkeley Natural History Museums, all at the University of California. He has conducted research on the evolutionary history of marine organisms and their habitats on the rocky shores of the Pacific Rim for more than 40 years. The numerous elegant and interpretive illustrations were produced by Juliet Ponder.

Download or read book Bivalvia Through Reptilia written by T Pandian and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal Energetics, Volume 2: Bivalvia through Reptilia is part of a two-volume treatise focusing on the integrated picture of the energy transformation process at the organismic level. Since it is almost impossible to restrict meaningful discussions to only one level of organization, some reference is made to population energetics as well as to the suborganismic level. The bioenergetics of both vertebrate and invertebrate groups are discussed. Specifically, the bioenergetics of bivalves, gastropods, bryozoans, pogonophorans, echinoderms, lower chordates, fishes, amphibians, and reptiles are covered. Understanding the efficient and fast transformation of biological energy has become an important issue in world affairs; studies on energetics and growth of thermoconformers can therefore be expected to expand greatly in the future. This book aims to provide many keys to a broader understanding of biology as well as open untrodden avenues to biologists with the quest for newer energy sources and efficient methods of energy utilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book with two sections represents the current trend of research in basic and applied malacology. In the section "Organismal Malacology", high-impact articles were contributed in the frontier areas of taxonomy, ecology and aquaculture of molluscs. Importance of mussel in water quality monitoring was highlighted. Biology and conservation of keystone molluscs were discussed from organismal point of view. "Cellular and Molecular Biology" section contains informative chapters on toxin-induced differential gene expression, spatiotemporal neural activity in olfactory processing in slug and immunity of hydrothermal vent molluscs. Biochemistry of cellulose degradation, lipid profile and C-reactive protein were elucidated in detail in separate chapters. This book represents a rich source of malacological information for the scientists, teachers and students.

Download or read book Carbohydrate Digestion in Marine Herbivorous Fishes written by Gretchen Lynn Skea and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this thesis was to examine the enzymatic degradation of algal carbohydrates by marine herbivorous fishes to determine which dietary carbohydrates are digested directly by the fishes, which are available for microbial fermentation, and which remain undigested. Enzyme extracts were taken serially along the gut from the gut wall, gut fluid and microbial pellet of Girella tricuspidata, Girella cyanea, Kyphosus sydneyanus, Aplodactylus arctidens, Aplodactylus etheridgii, Parma alboscapularis and Odax pullus and tested for activity against starch, laminarin, carrageenan, agarose, alginate, fucoidan and carboxymethylcellulose. In all species, hydrolysis of starch was greater than for all other substrates tested and was highest in the gut wall and anterior gut sections, indicative of endogenous origin. Activity in the anterior gut wall varied between species in the order G. tricuspidata (23607 units min−1) > G. cyanea (15664 units min−1) > A. etheridgii (6464 units min−1) ) > P. alboscapularis (5303 units min−1) > A. arctidens (3327 units min−1) > K. sydneyanus 1295 units min−1) > O. pullus (501 units min−1 ). In all cases hydrolysis of starch declined rapidly in the gut fluid with progression along the gut. Amylolytic enzymes in K. sydneyanus and A arctidens are the result of a-amylases, which display peptide sequence homology to a-amylases from other vertebrates including marine fishes. Activation energies indicate that a-amylases from K. sydneyanus and A. arctidens are more efficient at low temperatures, consistent with the distribution of these species. Enzyme activity against all other carbohydrates was lower than that against starch and varied considerably between species. Microbial extract of A. etheridgii displayed the highest activity against carrageenan and agarose in all gut sections, reaching maxima of 47 units ml−1 against carrageenan and 35 units ml−1 against agarose in the mid-gut microbial extract. This is much higher than for the other non-starch carbohydrates tested, indicating that these enzymes are potentially important substrates for microbial fermentation in A etheridgii. Carrageenases from A. etheridgii and A arctidens were examined more closely and found to have some peptide sequence homology to sulfatases from marine bacteria as well as novel sequence. Carrageenases studied have properties consistent with their environment including low temperature optima, indicative of cold-adaptation. Overall results of this research indicates that the study species fall along a continuum from maximizing throughput and digesting easily hydrolysed substrates in the foregut to relying more heavily on microbial fermentation in the hindgut.
