#ontogenetic

2024-04-16

Gary C. Packard shows that #ontogenetic changes in the morphology of eels, lobsters and other aquatic animals are not necessarily accompanied by changes in the pattern of metabolic allometry.

“While growth by both eels and lobsters doubtless elicits changes in surface area and sites for gas exchange, these changes have no discernable effect on patterns of metabolic allometry."

Figure 1 (top) from the paper: 
Logarithmic transformations for oxygen consumption and body length of 30 juvenal and 30 subadult American eels. Green, juveniles; orange, subadults. (A) Equations for straight lines fitted by the full model ANCOVA are identical to those reported by Glazier et al. (2023). The line fitted to observations for juveniles is extrapolated to illustrate the putative ontogenetic shift in metabolic allometry. (B) The straight line fitted by the reduced model ANCOVA describes pattern in the full sample.

A new year means new seminars! In two weeks, we will be kicking off 2023 with our @dsbsoc Seminar #5!

It will feature:
· #Ontogenetic #migration of #gastropod #larvae between #DeepSea #HydrothermalVents via surface waters by #TakuyaYahagi at the Atmosphere & Ocean Research Institute at the #UniversityofTokyo &

· #Microbial #IronMats from a newly discovered #Arctic #VentField by #PetraHribovsek at the Centre for Deep-Sea Research @UiB

Join us on Wed, Feb 15 at 08:00-09:00 UTC! Link to come.
