Topic: Maxilliped



  
 Procambarus
Maxilliped 1 has no gills but has the important epipod that encloses the exhalant water channel and the gill bailer.
The first three segments of the decapod thorax are fused with the head to form a cephalothorax and their appendages are maxillipeds.
It is common in crustaceans for the head to fuse with some anterior thoracic segments to form a new tagma, the cephalothorax.

 Glossary
Anterior and Posterior: a position: (relates to the body) anterior indicates that an appendage is located near the head end of the body as opposed to the rear end of the body (the posterior).
Medial: a position: usually the inside face of an article (that facing the body).
Maxilliped: A pair of appendages situated posterior to the maxillae and derived from the first pair of thoracic appendages.

 METAMORPHOSIS - Online Information article about METAMORPHOSIS
In the Crustacea, as has already been pointed out, many authors apply the term metamorphosis to the whole larval development, which consists of a series of changes leading to the adult form.

E, Mysis stage, side view; the thoracic and abdominal appendages have been developed.

 28th Annual Eastern Fish Health Workshop
  Crabs were considered conscious if they were responsive to stimuli applied to the eyestalks and the third maxillipeds; these responses determine if the cerebral and thoracic ganglia, respectively, are still functioning.
  Injection with Euthasol caused a short period of distress (15-30 seconds) followed by loss of both the maxilliped and ocular responses, suggesting unconsciousness, until death.
The crabs retained their ocular and maxilliped reactions for most of this time, suggesting retention of consciousness.

 References
In those Crustacea which have no such free fold but a cephalothoracic shield covering the cephalon and part or the whole of the thorax, this shield was interpreted as a carapace fold fused to the dorsum of the thorax and often overhanging its sides, for example, in lobsters and natantians.
The carapace hypothesis has been universally accepted and has influenced the interpretation of Crustacean evolution and inter-relationships.
In the Anaspidacea, Amphipoda and Isopoda, which have no branchiostegal folds behind the maxilliped segment, the external segmentation is retained in all segments behind it, and the same is the case with the segments behind the cephalothoracic shield in, for example, mysids and cumaceans.

 Inter Research » MEPS » v178 » p101-107
Hydrodynamic sensors of the maxilliped are likely to be utilized when captured food particles have to be manipulated for ingestion or rejection.
It was the goal of our study to determine the structures of potential sensors of setae on appendages of calanoids which are involved in the collection of food particles after these have been perceived at a distance from the gathering appendage(s).
Our results indicate that all setae of the female's maxilliped possess structures indicative of mechano- and chemosensors.

 AEPA - Ingolfiellidae World Catalogue
Mandibular palp vestigial or absent, molar process vestigial or reduced to a peg or spine; maxilliped bases fused proximally; gnathopods carpo-subchelate.
Little about this genus is distinctive, aside from the vestigial mandibular palp, to mark it from other ingolfiellids, and its lack of lenticular organs to mark it from many (but not all) of the other large bodied cave-dwelling species of central Africa.
In addition, several homoplastic features typically prevail such as: maxilliped dactyl claw with a single seta; gnathopod 2 carpal saw with 7 teeth, dactyl as a spine; pereiopods 3-7 dactyls often produced with a spur.

Animals presented with ground-up leaf material in the laboratory exhibited twenty-one recognizable behaviors.
Of nine mouthpart and foregut structures studied, three, the number of cuspidate setae on outer plates of maxillipeds, the length of the dactyl on maxilliped palps, and the number of hook setae on the foregut ampullae, were found to be correlated with body length.
Of these, rates of increase in maxilliped setae numbers and hook setae numbers were greater for immature than mature animals, and the number of hook setae for a given sized animal was generally greater for animals at Site 1 than Site 2.

Development of the maxilliped of 14 species of cyclopoid copepods from 14 genera in the families Cyclopinidae, Oithonidae and Cyclopidae is described.
Interpreting segment homologies of the maxilliped of cyclopoid copepods by comparing stage-specific changes during development
Segment homologies are inferred from the assumption that homologous setae and arthrodial membranes are added during the same copepodid stage, and from a model of development that patterns the endopod proximally from the proximal of two endopodal segments present at the first copepodid stage.

Finally, note the position of the openings to the green glands; these excretory organs are also called antennal glands because they open at the base of the antennae.

The maxilla with single-lobed endite and a bilobed epipodite of first maxilliped are two characters not shared with any other genus in the subfamily Palaemoninae.
The following characters shared by the 3 species support the creation of the new genus: rostrum without dorsal or ventral teeth, maxilla with single-lobed endite, bilobed epipodite of first maxilliped, second maxilliped without podobranch, and absence of antennal, hepatic, or branchiostegal spines of carapace.
