Spawning Clasps And Gamete Deposition In Pebble Nest-Building Minnows (Pisces : Cyprinidae), Mark Henry Sabaj Jan 1992

Spawning Clasps And Gamete Deposition In Pebble Nest-Building Minnows (Pisces : Cyprinidae), Mark Henry Sabaj

Master's Theses

Spawning in five species of North American cyprinid minnows (Rhinichthys a. atratulus, Exog/ossum laurae, Semotilus atromaculatus, Nocomis leptocephalus, and N. micropogon ) are analyzed on videotape filmed in Virginia and Maryland streams. Behaviors are chronologically resolved into a sequence of categories (Interim, Approach, Alignment, Run, Clasp and Dissociation) exemplary of a successful spawn as defined by the clasp. The categories are used to describe spawning behaviors in each species. In all species studied, a successful spawn is a female initiated event effecting the clasping response of a male.

The species-specific pattern of male-female interactions not only reflects the coordination of …


Localization Of A Collagenous Protein In The Organic Matrix Of Spicules From The Octocoral Leptogorgia Virgulata (Cnidaria: Gorgonacea), Jeffrey L. Dupree Jan 1992

Localization Of A Collagenous Protein In The Organic Matrix Of Spicules From The Octocoral Leptogorgia Virgulata (Cnidaria: Gorgonacea), Jeffrey L. Dupree

Master's Theses

Calcareous body inclusions are commonly found throughout the invertebrate taxa. Elaborately structured calcium carbonate spicules are the major mineralized body inclusions of the gorgonian, Leptogorgia virgulata. Spicule formation in this octocoral, as well as other calcium carbonate invertebrate structures, is apparently regulated by the intra-spicule organic matrix. Recent findings show that the insoluble fraction of the spicule organic matrix is collagenous. Collagen, although integral to calcium phosphate structures found in vertebrates is not usually associated with the formation of invertebrate calcium carbonate structures. Interestingly, collagen is present in the organic matrix during the summer but absent in winter. This suggests …
