d by eric heupel at 1 17 am 4 comments labels cards ocean in the classroom sunday october 25 2009 crepidula fornicata we ve got two new ocean inspired donors choose projects that have been funded in the oceans in the classroom challenge the first one that was funded on thursday was the awesome invertebrates in my tank project that will provide lots of kids with the opportunity to explore one of our favorite subjects marine inverts the inverts in my tank card is the 6 of spades the slipper snail crepidula fornicata classification for the atlantic slippersnail kingdom animalia phylum mollusca class gastropoda order littorinimorpha family calyptraeidae genus crepidula species c fornicata i pulled this card for several reasons first it has the cutest little veliger larvae second it is all over the place here in long island sound and lastly it is a prime example of a reproduction strategy that is comparatively rare in the animal world in general but much less so in molluscs protandrous sequential hermaphroditism you may recall dr m s recent post who likes protandric hermaphrodites in which he described the strategy while reporting new findings about idas washingtonia a deep sea clam like i washingtonia the atlantic slippersnail crepidula fornicata is a protandric sequential hermaphrodite while they strongly resemble limpets externally and are often called slipper limpets they are indeed gastropods that are common inhabitants of the sub to intertidal area of new england rocky coasts where they are often found in stacks like the one pictured from 3 to 20 individuals unfortunately they are also an invasive species becoming all too common in areas outside its native range where their filter feeding capabilities may negatively affect native and aquacultured filter feeding molluscs as dr m described in his post many protandrous sequential hermaphrodites change sex based on size a prevailing theory the size advantage hypothesis predicts that a species will change its sex at a particular size that allows the individual higher reproductive success generally this means smaller atlantic slippersnails are males and larger ones are females it is energetically expensive for females to produce large energy rich eggs it is very common in the marine realm that older larger females produce more eggs of larger size and higher quality with resultant higher success rates for guys to produce sperm is a comparatively inexpensive expenditure of energy even a wee lad can produce enough sperm of suitable quality to reproduce successfully whether or not a female will have him of if his sperm can out compete a larger male s sperm is a different issue c fornicata follows this trait for the most part when the planktonic veliger larvae metamorphose and settle to the bottom they are attracted to chemical cues produced by the adults this guides most settling juveniles to land on or very near existing individuals or stacks they then make their way ever slowly to the top of the stack and mature into young males in paternity studies the oldest largest males sometimes the same size as females are responsible for the majority of the viable larvae from females in the stack upwards of 83 of larvae coming from one father younger males further up the stack do have some successes though and the more males and more larger males in a stack the more sperm competition appears to play a significant role in each individual s success and the less dominant the dominant male becomes at a certain point these large dominant males may be better off as females sharing the reproductive success among a few females instead of many highly competitive males if a settling juvenile misses the chemical cues or for some other reason does not stack onto an existing individual or group it will mature through a very brief male phase then become female hopefully attracting juveniles from the next batch to settle on to it given that there are solitary small post settlement females and that some older males in a stack are as big as their female stackmates size is clearly not the sole cue for sex change in c fornicata there is some plasticity in the change and social interaction appears to play a strong role on the size of the individual undergoing sex change you can probably see why sequential hermaphroditism is such an interesting area of study there are several general hypotheses but there are also so many individual variations on those general themes that it seems we will never run out of study material and now a word for our challenge this month if you have contributed to the oceans in the classroom challenge thank you so much these posts and previews are for you you have helped the ocean bloggers make a difference in at least 300 kids lives more considering many projects have reusable multi year assets if you have not yet given to the donors choose oceans in the classroom challenge please consider giving today i know times are tough i am a grad student with a family to feed believe me i get how tough it is still every amount is welcome and appreciated for my family s donation it means i have to brown bag it for two weeks but you know that s a small price to pay in exchange for knowing that we are exposing hundreds of kids to the science of the ocean there is even a kindergarten class project in there commotion in the ocean talk about a great time to open a kid s mind to the ocean and science if 25 readers give just 10 each we ll help a dedicated young teacher expose 18 high poverty area kindergarten kids to science and the ocean there is a chance still to get an additional 2 000 dollars of matching funds donated by hp but it will only happen if we can get to 2 000 donated from the ocean bloggers readers today it won t be easy but it s a great chance to really increase our impact please give to the challenge references proestou da goldsmith mr twombly s 2008 patterns of male reproductive success in crepidula fornicata provide new insight for sex allocation and optimal sex change the biological bulletin 214 2 194 202 pmid 18401001 richard j huet m thouzeau g paulet y 2006 reproduction of the invasive

classroom outreach saturday october 17 2009 wading in with urosalpinx cinerea as we pull into nyc on the amtrack for a science filled weekend mrs s s class in rhode island have gotten fully funded for their new waders as part of the oceans in the classroom challenge hopefully they are thinking about getting in some clamming very soon while they are out there wading in the beautiful coastal waters of rhode isalnd they will no doubt see many atlantic oyster drills as well since urosalpinx cinerea is a pretty common sight around here here being eastern connecticut and rhode island unfortunately it is also becoming more common on the west coast in areas like puget sound where it is an invasive species as well as being a nuisance to oyster fisheries on both coasts even though it is a nuisance to mollusc fisheries and aquaculture i can t help but like this particular carnivorous gastropod it lives in the harsh intertidal zone an area where it may well probably the most effective hunter it smells out it s prey in the water young oysters young clams or the thinner shelled blue mussels once located the one inch predator climbs onto its prey and grabs it firmly with its foot then the drilling begins using its radula a ribbon like organ with rows of tiny teeth on it the oyster drill rasps away at the shell scraping bits of the calcium shell after rasping for a time the oyster drill brings out its secret weapon the accessory boring organ abo the oyster drills use of the abo was described originally by mel carriker while he was a graduate student in the late 1930 s early 1940 s we have featured his video and explanation of the drilling before highly recommended between 1 minute raspings with the radula the drill presses the abo against the drilling site for 30 minutes releasing calcium dissolving acid to soften the next layer of shell and make the drilling easier depending on the thickness of the preys shell the process may take upwards of a day to complete yes the oyster drill is persistent once through the shell the oyster drill inserts its proboscis through the hole and releases digestive enzymes into the prey shell ans slurps the resulting liquefied meat back up through the hole via its proboscis another cool detail about the oyster drill is that unlike most other gastropods the oyster drill does not have a planktonic larval stage the oyster drill lays its eggs that each have up to 12 young in them under rocks and shells the young snails eat their way out of the eggs and look like miniature adults posted by eric heupel at 9 50 am 2 comments labels cards
