ISSN 0006-3185 INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS The Biological Bulletin accepts outstanding original research reports of general interest to biologists throughout the world. Papers are usually of intermediate length (10-40 manuscript pages). Very short papers (less than 10 manuscript pages including tables, figures, and bibliography) will be published in a separate section entitled "Short Reports." A limited number of solicited review papers may be accepted after formal review. A paper will usually appear within four months after its acceptance. The Editorial Board requests that manuscripts conform to the requirements set below; those manuscripts which do not conform will be returned to authors for correction before review. 1. Manuscripts. Manuscripts, including figures, should be submitted in triplicate. (Xerox copies of photographs are not acceptable for review purposes.) The original manuscript must be typed in double spacing (including figure legends, footnotes, bibliography, etc.) on one side of 16- or 20-lb. bond paper, 8'/2 by 1 1 inches. Manuscripts should be proofread carefully and errors corrected legibly in black ink. Pages should be numbered consecutively. Margins on all sides should be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm). Manuscripts should conform to the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual, 4th Edition (Council of Biology Editors, 1978) and to American spelling. Unusual abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and should be spelled out on first reference as well as defined in a footnote on the title page. Manuscripts should be divided into the following components: Title page, Abstract (of no more than 200 words). Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, Literature Cited, Tables, and Figure Legends. In addition, authors should supply a list of words and phrases under which the article should be indexed. 2. Figures. Figures should be no larger than 8'/2 by 1 1 inches. The dimensions of the printed page, 5 by 7% inches, should be kept in mind in preparing figures for publication. We recommend that figures be about 1 '/> times the linear dimensions of the final printing desired, and that the ratio of the largest to the smallest letter or number and of the thickest to the thinnest line not exceed 1:1.5. Explanatory matter generally should be included in legends, although axes should always be identified on the illustration itself. Figures should be prepared for reproduction as either line cuts or halftones. Figures to be reproduced as line cuts should be unmounted glossy photographic reproductions or drawn in black ink on white paper, good-quality tracing cloth or plastic, or blue-lined coordinate paper. Those to be reproduced as halftones should be mounted on board, with both designating numbers or letters and scale bars affixed directly to the figures. All figures should be numbered in consecutive order, with no distinction between text and plate figures. The author's name and an arrow indicating orientation should appear on the reverse side of all figures. 3. Tables, footnotes, figure legends, etc. Authors should follow the style in a recent issue of The Biological Bulletin in preparing table headings, figure legends, and the like. Because of the high cost of setting tabular material in type, authors are asked to limit such material as much as possible. Tables, with their headings and footnotes, should be typed on separate sheets, numbered with consecutive Roman numerals, and placed after the Literature Cited. Figure legends should contain enough information to make the figure intelligible separate from the text. Legends should be typed double spaced, with consecutive Arabic numbers, on a separate sheet at the end of the paper. Footnotes should be limited to authors' current addresses, acknowledgments or contribution numbers, and explanation of unusual abbreviations. All such footnotes should appear on the title page. Footnotes are not normally permitted in the body of the text. 4. A condensed title or running head of no more than 35 letters and spaces should appear at the top of the title page. 5. Literature cited. In the text, literature should be cited by the Harvard system, with papers by more than two authors cited as Jones et al., 1980. Personal communications and material in preparation or in press should be cited in the text only, with author's initials and institutions, unless the material has been formally accepted and a volume number can be supplied. The list of references following the text should be headed LITERATURE CITED, and must be typed double spaced on separate pages, conforming in punctuation and arrangement to the style of recent issues of The Biological Bulletin. Citations should include complete titles and inclusive pagination. Journal abbreviations should normally follow those of the U. S. A. Standards Institute (USASI), as adopted by BIOLOGICAL ABSTRACTS and CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS, with the minor differences set out below. The most generally useful list of biological journal titles is that published each year by BIOLOGICAL ABSTRACTS (BIOSIS List of Serials; the most recent issue). Foreign authors, and others who are accustomed to using THE WORLD LIST OF SCIENTIFIC PERIODICALS, may find a booklet published by the Biological Council of the U.K. (obtainable from the Institute of Biology, 41 Queen's Gate, London, S.W.7, England, U.K.) useful, since it sets out the WORLD LIST abbreviations for most biological journals with notes of the USASI abbreviations where these differ. CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS publishes quarterly supplements of additional abbreviations. The following points of reference style for THE BIOLOGICAL BULLETIN differ from USASI (or modified WORLD LIST) usage: A. Journal abbreviations, and book titles, all underlined (for italics) B. All components of abbreviations with initial capitals (not as European usage in WORLD LIST e.g. J. Cell. Comp. Physiol. NOT J. cell. comp. Physiol.) C. All abbreviated components must be followed by a period, whole word components must not (i.e. J. Cancer Res.) D. Space between all components (e.g. J. Cell. Comp. Physiol., not J.Cell. Comp. Physiol.) E. Unusual words in journal titles should be spelled out in full, rather than employing new abbreviations invented by the author. For example, use Rit Visindafjelags Islendinga without abbreviation. F. All single word journal titles in full (e.g. Veliger, Ecology, Brain). G. The order of abbreviated components should be the same as the word order of the complete title (i.e. Proc. and Trans, placed where they appear, not transposed as in some BIOLOGICAL ABSTRACTS listings). H. A few well-known international journals in their preferred forms rather than WORLD LIST or USASI usage (e.g. Nature, Science, Evolution NOT Nature, Land., Science, N.Y.; Evolution, Lancaster, Pa.) 6. Reprints, charges. The Biological Bulletin has no page charges. However, authors of papers that are unusually expensive to print will be charged the excess over $100 of the total of (a) $30 for each printed page beyond 15, (b) $30 for each table, (c) $15 for each formula more complex than a single line with simple subscripts or superscripts, and (d) $15 for each figure, with figures on a single plate all considered one figure and parts of a single figure on separate sheets considered separate figures. Reprints may be ordered at time of publication and normally will be delivered about two to three months after the issue date. Authors (or delegates or foreign authors) will receive page proofs of articles shortly before publication. They will be charged the current cost of printers' time for corrections to these (other than corrections of printers' or editors' errors).

IV. The Annual Meeting of the Members shall be held on the Friday following the Second Tuesday in August in each year at the Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, at 9:30 a.m. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII(2), at such meeting the Members shall choose by ballot six Trustees to serve four years, and shall transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting. Special meetings of the Members may be called by the Chairman or Trustees to be held at such time and place as may be designated. V. Twenty five Members shall constitute a quorum at any meeting. Except as otherwise required by law or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Members voting in person or by proxy at a meeting attended by a quorum (present in person or by proxy) shall constitute action on behalf of the Members. VI. (A) Inasmuch as the time and place of the Annual Meeting of Members are fixed by these Bylaws, no notice of the Annual Meeting need be given. Notice of any special meeting of Members, however, shall be given by the Clerk by mailing notice of the time and place and purpose of such meeting, at least 1 5 days before such meeting, to each Member at his or her address as shown on the records of the Corporation. (B) Any meeting of the Members may be adjourned to any other time and place by the vote of a majority of those Members present or represented at the meeting, whether or not such Members constitute a quorum. It shall not be necessary to notify any Member of any ad- journment. VII. The Annual Meeting of the Trustees shall be held promptly after the Annual Meeting of the Corporation at the Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Special meetings of the Trustees shall be called by the Chairman, the President, or by any seven Trustees, to be held at such time and place as may be designated. Notice of Trustees' meetings may be given orally, by telephone, telegraph or in writing; and notice given in time to enable the Trustees to attend, or in any case notice sent by mail or telegraph to a Trustee's usual or last known place of residence, at least one week before the meeting shall be sufficient. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any Trustee if a written waiver of notice, executed by him before or after the meeting is filed with the records of the meeting, or if he shall attend the meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice to him. BYLAWS 33 VIII. (A) There shall be four groups of Trustees: ( 1 ) Trustees (the "Corporate Trustees") elected by the Members according to such procedures, not inconsistent with these Bylaws, as the Trustees shall have determined. Except as provided below, such Trustees shall be divided into four classes of six, one class to be elected year to serve for a term of four years. Such classes shall be designated by the year of expiration of their respective terms. (2) Trustees ("Board Trustees") elected by the Trustees then in office according to such procedures, not inconsistent with these Bylaws, as the Trustees shall have determined. Except as provided below, such Board Trustees shall be divided into four classes of three, one class to be elected each year to serve for a term of four years. Such classes shall be designated by the year of expiration of their respective terms. It is contemplated that, unless otherwise determined by the Trustees for good reason. Board Trustees shall be individuals who have not been considered for election as Corporate Trustees. (3) Trustees ex officio, who shall be the Chairman, the President, the Director, the Treasurer, and the Clerk. (4) Trustees emeriti who shall include any Member who has attained the age of seventy years (or the age of sixty five and has retired from his home institution) and who has served a full elected term as a regular Trustee, provided he signifies his wish to serve the Laboratory in that capacity. Any Trustee who qualifies for emeritus status shall continue to serve as a regular Trustee until the next Annual Meeting whereupon his office as regular Trustee shall become vacant and be filled by election by the Members or by the Board, as the case may be. The Trustees ex officio and emeriti shall have all the rights of the Trustees, except that Trustees emeriti shall not have the right to vote. (B) The aggregate number of Corporate Trustees and Board Trustees elected in any year (excluding Trustees elected to fill vacancies which do not result from expiration of a term) shall not exceed nine. The number of Board Trustees so elected shall not exceed three and unless otherwise determined by vote of the Trustees, the number of Corporate Trustees so elected shall not exceed six. (C) The Trustees and Officers shall hold their respective offices until their successors are chosen in their stead. (D) Any Trustee may be removed from office at any time with or without cause, by vote of a majority of the Members entitled to vote in the election of Trustees; or for cause, by vote of two-thirds of the Trustees then in office. A Trustee may be removed for cause only if notice of such action shall have been given to all of the Trustees or Members entitled to vote, as the case may be, prior to the meeting at which such action is to be taken and if the Trustee so to be removed shall have been given reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard before the body proposing to remove him. (E) Any vacancy in the number of Corporate Trustees, however arising, may be filled by the Trustees then in office unless and until filled by the Members at the next Annual Meeting. Any vacancy in the number of Board Trustees may be filled by the Trustees. (F) A Corporate Trustee or a Board Trustee who has served an initial term of at least two years duration shall be eligible for re-election to a second term, but shall be ineligible for re- election to any subsequent term until two years have elapsed after he last served as Trustee. IX. (A) The Trustees shall have the control and management of the affairs of the Corpo- ration. They shall elect a Chairman of the Board of Trustees who shall be elected annually and shall serve until his successor is selected and qualified and who shall also preside at meetings of the Corporation. They shall elect a President of the Corporation who shall also be the Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Vice Chairman of meetings of the Corporation, and who shall be elected annually and shall serve until his successor is selected and qualified. They shall annually elect a Treasurer who shall serve until his successor is selected and qualified. They shall elect a Clerk (a resident of Massachusetts) who shall serve for a term of four years. Eligibility for re-election shall be in accordance with the content of Article VIII(F) as applied to corporate or Board Trustees. They shall elect Board Trustees as described in Article VIII(B). They shall appoint a Director of the Laboratory for a term not to exceed five years, provided 34 MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY the term shall not exceed one year if the candidate has attained the age of 65 years prior to the date of the appointment. They may choose such other officers and agents as they may think best. They may fix the compensation and define the duties of all the officers and agents of the Corporation and may remove them at any time. They may fill vacancies occurring in any of the offices. The Board of Trustees shall have the power to choose an Executive Committee from their own number as provided in Article X, and to delegate to such Committee such of their own powers as they may deem expedient in addition to those powers conferred by Article X. They shall from time to time elect Members to the Corporation upon such terms and conditions as they shall have determined, not inconsistent with law or these Bylaws. (B) The Board of Trustees shall also have the power, by vote of a majority of the Trustees then in Office, to elect an Investment Committee and any other committee and, by like vote, to delegate thereto some or all of their powers except those which by law, the Articles of Or- ganization or these Bylaws they are prohibited from delegating. The members of any such committee shall have such tenure and duties as the Trustees shall determine; provided that the Investment Committee, which shall oversee the management of the Corporation's endowment funds and marketable securities, shall include the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, the Trea- surer of the Corporation, and the Chairman of the Corporation's Budget Committee, as ex officio members, together with such Trustees as may be required for not less than two-thirds of the Investment Committee to consist of Trustees. Except as otherwise provided by these Bylaws or determined by the Trustees, any such committee may make rules for the conduct of its business; but, unless otherwise provided by the Trustees or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided by these Bylaws for the Trustees. X. (A) The Executive Committee is hereby designated to consist of not more than ten members, including the ex officio Members (Chairman of the Board of Trustees, President, Director and Treasurer); and six additional Trustees, two of whom shall be elected by the Board of Trustees each year, to serve for a three-year term. (B) The Chairman of the Board of Trustees shall act as Chairman of the Executive Com- mittee, and the President as Vice Chairman. A majority of the members of the Executive Com- mittee shall constitute a quorum and the affirmative vote of a majority of those voting at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall constitute action on behalf of the Executive Com- mittee. The Executive Committee shall meet at such times and places and upon such notice and appoint such sub-committees as the Committee shall determine. (C) The Executive Committee shall have and may exercise all the powers of the Board during the intervals between meetings of the Board of Trustees except those powers specifically withheld from time to time by vote of the Board or by law. The Executive Committee may also appoint such committees, including persons who are not Trustees, as it may from time to time approve to make recommendations with respect to matters to be acted upon by the Executive Committee or the Board of Trustees. (D) The Executive Committee shall keep appropriate minutes of its meetings and its action shall be reported to the Board of Trustees. (E) The elected Members of the Executive Committee shall constitute as a standing "Com- mittee for the Nomination of Officers," responsible for making nominations, at each Annual Meeting of the Corporation, and of the Board of Trustees, for candidates to fill each office as the respective terms of office expire (Chairman of the Board, President, Director, Treasurer, and Clerk). XI. A majority of the Trustees, the Executive Committee, or any other committee elected by the Trustees shall constitute a quorum; and a lesser number than a quorum may adjourn any meeting from time to time without further notice. At any meeting of the Trustees, the Executive Committee, or any other committee elected by the Trustees, the vote of a majority of those present, or such different vote as may be specified by law, the Articles of Organization or these Bylaws, shall be sufficient to take any action. XII. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Trustees, the Executive Committee or any other committee elected by the Trustees as referred to under Article IX may be taken without a meeting if all of the Trustees or members of such committee, BYLAWS 35 as the case may be, consent to the action in writing and such written consents are filed with the records of meetings. The Trustees or members of the Executive Committee or any other com- mittee appointed by the Trustees may also participate in meeting by means of conference telephone, or otherwise take action in such a manner as may from time to time be per- mitted by law. XIII. The consent of every Trustee shall be necessary to dissolution of the Marine Biological Laboratory. In case of dissolution, the property shall be disposed of in such a manner and upon such terms as shall be determined by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Board of Trustees then in office. XIV. These Bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of the Members at any meeting, provided that notice of the substance of the proposed amendment is stated in the notice of such meeting. As authorized by the Articles of Organization, the Trustees, by a majority of their number then in office, may also make, amend, or repeal these Bylaws, in whole or in part, except with respect to (a) the provisions of these Bylaws governing (i) the removal of Trustees and (ii) the amendment of these Bylaws and (b) any provisions of these Bylaws which by law, the Articles of Organization or these Bylaws, requires action by the Members. No later than the time of giving notice of the meeting of Members next following the making, amending or repealing by the Trustees of any Bylaw, notice thereof stating the substance of such change shall be given to all Corporation Members entitled to vote on amending the Bylaws. Any Bylaw adopted by the Trustees may be amended or repealed by the Members entitled to vote on amending the Bylaws. XV. The account of the Treasurer shall be audited annually by a certified public accountant. XVI. Except as otherwise provided below, the Corporation shall, to the extent legally per- missible, indemnify each person who is, or shall have been, a Trustee, director or officer of the Corporation or who is serving, or shall have served, at the request of the Corporation as a Trustee, director or officer of another organization in which the Corporation directly or indirectly has any interest, as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise, against all liabilities and expenses (including judgments, fines, penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees and all amounts paid, other than to the Corporation or such other organization, in compromise or settlement) imposed upon or incurred by any such person in connection with, or arising out of, the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which he or she may be a defendant or with which he or she may be threatened or otherwise involved, directly or indirectly, by reason of his or her being or having been such a Trustee, director or officer. The Corporation shall provide no indemnification with respect to any matter as to which any such Trustee, director or officer shall be finally adjudicated in such action, suit or proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the Corporation. The Corporation shall provide no indemnification with respect to any matter settled or compromised, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, unless such settlement or compromise shall have been approved as in the best interests of the Corporation, after notice that indemnification is involved, by (i) a disinterested majority of the Board of Trustees or of the Executive Committee or, (ii) a majority of the Corporation's Members. Indemnification may include payment by the Corporation of expenses in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification under the provisions of this Article XVI, or under any applicable law. As used in this Article, the terms "Trustee," "director" and "officer" include their respective heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives, and an "interested" Trustee, director or officer is one against whom in such capacity the proceeding in question or another proceeding on the same or similar grounds is then pending. To assure indemnification under this Article of all persons who are determined by the Corporation or otherwise to be or to have been "fiduciaries" of any employee benefit plan of 36 MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY the Corporation which may exist from time to time, this Article shall be interpreted as follows: (i) "another organization" shall be deemed to include such an employee benefit plan, including, without limitation, any plan of the Corporation which is governed by the Act of Congress entitled "Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974," as amended from time to time ("ERISA"); (ii) "Trustee" shall be deemed to include any person requested by the Corporation to serve as such for an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his or her duties to the Coiporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; (iii) "fines" shall be deemed to include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to ERISA; and (iv) actions taken or omitted by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such person's duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is in the best interests of the Corporation. The right of indemnification provided in this Article shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any Trustee, director or officer may be entitled under any agreement, statute, vote of members or otherwise. The Corporation's obligation to provide indemnification under this Article shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the Corporation or any other person. Nothing contained in this Article shall affect any rights to which employees and corporate personnel other than Trustees, directors or officers may be entitled by contract, by vote of the Board of Trustees or of the Executive Committee or otherwise. VI. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR I have the pleasure of writing a Director's Report which is concerned in large part with plans for the future, rather than with analysis of the past. My pleasure implies neither a lack of interest in the past nor any uneasy omen. It comes, rather, from my review of those tall stacks of paper recording the events, the finances, the problems, and the accomplishments scientific and administrative of the past year, a review that always precedes the writing of these reports. There it becomes evident that on most fronts of MBL operations there are meetings, studies, and planning exercises directed toward the post-Centennial decade. How fundamental a change this represents in the state of the place can be appreciated only by those who know something of the MBL's past. Such activity means that we see no threats or difficulties, in things as they are, grave enough to inhibit creative anticipation. It means that MBL people are sufficiently confident of the health of the enterprise to give time to imagining an exciting future, rather than to considering how to survive. It was not always thus. I am able therefore to write of plans and goals, confident that the remaining content of this volume will be at least reassuring, and possibly even a source of pride, to members of the Cor- poration. Committees 1985 was MBL Centennial Year minus three, none too soon to begin to plan for the events of that celebration. The Trustees having reviewed and approved a proposed structure for a committee to plan and execute the events, the structure was built, with people, in the course of the year. Overseeing all Centennial-related activities will be a Centennial Committee, which includes among its distinguished members James D. Ebert as Chairman. We are doubly fortunate in Ebert's acceptance of the responsibility: he is not only a devoted Corporation member and the Laboratory's President-Director emeritus, but also a scientist and administrator of international stature. The oversight committee includes, inter alia, the Chairmen of four subcommittees, each of which has been empaneled and is hard at work. In charge of the Subcommittee on History is Garland Allen. Raymond E. Stephens chairs the Subcommittee on Events, and "events" is meant to cover not only the necessary celebratory occasions of 1988, but scientific meetings of international significance, beginning in 1987. An expert and REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 37 enthusiastic Subcommittee on Public Information is headed by author and friend of the Laboratory John Pfeiffer. And finally, financial management of the Centennial celebrations, in extenso, is the responsibility of a Finance Subcommittee headed by D. Thomas Trigg. I like to believe that it is a measure of the MBL's future, as well as of its remarkable history, that we are able to assemble so talented a group of volunteers to work for an institution that is not, after all, among those listed as best-endowed, nor is it constantly in the public eye. By the reorganization of old committees and the creation of several new ones, the Trustees have signaled a new determination to manage the MBL seriously and well as though, in fact, it were itself well and to be taken seriously, in the way that large and complex intellectual enterprises must today be taken if they are to succeed. Thus we have in the course of the year sharpened the charge of the Investment Committee, expanded and systematized the work of the Compensation Committee, created a new and professionally qualified Audit Committee, and empaneled a Committee on Lab- oratory Goals. Investment, the first of these, has been in existence for a good many years and it has given the MBL invaluable service. But with our investments now in excess of $1 1 million, it is important for all levels of decision-making to be identified and monitored, and for the many choices that have to be made each year to be made on a reliable schedule, recorded promptly, and implemented by timely actions of the MBL admin- istration and the investment management firm. All these needs are dealt with under the revised committee charge. The members have accepted it. As the MBL's still-skeletal administrative capability is enhanced, it becomes nec- essary for the compensation of managers a category that includes all the Department heads to be reviewed with as much care, knowledge of market forces, and attention to individuals as has always been the case for non-administrative employees. The new Compensation Committee will see to that. As recently as 1978, when the business and academic worlds were well into the second generation of administrative data processing by electronic means, the MBL was still doing all its business with pencil and paper. It did not take much effort to convince the community that the time had come for conversion to electronic data processing. The conversion was made coincident with reorganization of the accounting functions under the Controller's office. Subsequent improvements in financial man- agement have been evident to nearly everyone associated with the Laboratory. We are, however, at the junction of two very fast-flowing streams: the technology itself, and the increasingly complex financial operations of the MBL. In the future we will require not only computer-based accounting, but excellent accounting at that, and incisive data analysis for management and planning. The MBL must also have regular and more expert liaison with its external auditors, those of government and foun- dation offices as well as those we employ for the annual review of our books. The new Audit Committee is superbly qualified for these purposes. It will work with the Controller, henceforth, as well as with the Director and all the Trustees, to whom it will ultimately report. The last comprehensive plan for the Laboratory was written in 1978 and adopted by the Trustees in the winter of 1979. It was a comprehensive plan in the sense that it set goals in each of the MBL missions: summer research, year-round research, instruction; and it did so in the context of existing resources and reasonable projections of their growth. It was a plan meant to serve, with modification and amendment as needed, up to the Centennial, give or take a year. As it happens, this was the first, as well as the last, such long-term plan for the institution. The 1979 plan, and all the work of review, data analysis, and feasibility testing that went into it, were done by the then-new Director. It could not have been otherwise: 38 MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY differences of opinion within the Corporation, even on fundamental issues, were too great, and organizational and administrative resources too small, to have allowed the Corporation, speaking via its Trustees, to do the job. We have succeeded with what is, by any reasonable standard, a remarkable fraction of the 1979 plan. It is a fair expectation that the essentials, save perhaps a Marine Resources Center, will have been realized by 1988. To be sure, some of the elements have had to be modified. Seven years is a very long time in modern biology, and in the history of relations between government and independent research laboratories. But most of the modifications have been upward in scale, not downward, and most of those, too, have been achieved or will be achieved in the near future. It is time for a new MBL plan. Even if we were in a field less dynamic and more predictable than biomedical science, we should need one: seven years is an ancient guideline for sticking to an undertaking. Thereafter, in response to the inevitable itch, there must be some scratching. Sensible people and institutions anticipate the itch and regulate the scratch. The MBL is now strong enough. There is sufficient loyalty and unanimity on what were recently divisive issues to allow the next plan to be made by those who should be its architects: the Corporation and the Trustees themselves. It is not that the Director is alien to either body: he is one of both, and by the nature of things will always, whoever he or she may be, have unlimited access to their wisdom and their beliefs (not all of which are necessarily wise). But in an institution as horizontal as the MBL, and in so explosively growing a business as biomedical science, no comprehensive plan should be authored by one person. Machinery for making the next comprehensive plan was established during the 1985-86 year. It begins with a new Trustees' Committee, the Committee on Laboratory Goals, chaired by Gerald Fischbach. In its initial form the Committee consists entirely of Corporation members: as its inquiries are broadened during the summer of 1986, members and consultants will be added according to need. This Committee has a simple but very weighty charge: to recommend to the Trustees directions and standards for all MBL scientific programs in the decade following the Centennial. The recom- mendations are to be based upon exhaustive analysis of current resources, probable future resources, special strengths and opportunities in the existing configuration, actual or potential weaknesses, and, insofar as is possible, an adherence to the founding principles of the Laboratory. It is perhaps well to list the relevant ones here: Independence; Avoidance of identification with any single biological discipline; Emphasis upon intellectual quality, as opposed to mere utility; Maximum utilization of resources of the sea for research, but no exclusive com- mitment to marine biology for its own sake; Instruction and scientific communication as important as private, individual re- search. Dr. Fischbach's carefully assembled and highly qualified committee is at work: every Corporation member will be hearing from and of it before long. In the end, the product of its arguments and eventual agreements will change the shape of the MBL as much as, perhaps more than, did the Director's plan of 1979. This is as it should be: a biological institution whose spectrum of interests does not change within a de- cade in these waning decades of the twentieth century cannot be a part of the action of life science. All the rest Nothing else needs to be said in this year's Director's Report. The facts are in the book. Value judgments are implicit in the continued fluorishing of MBL programs, REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 39 even though we are in times and circumstances such that other institutions, better- endowed and with missions more easily featured in Sunday Supplements, have fallen into deep trouble. I can afford to report in pastel a set of strokes meant to suggest reality, rather than to render it. Year-round research: Shinya Inoue's superb book, product of his years as a resident MBL scientist fully engaged in research, is published. It is the definitive text of the new technology of video microscopy, and that, in turn is an MBL story. Tom Reese will give a Friday Evening Lecture in 1986: its title will be Kinesin an MBL Project. The Ecosystems Center, now led by John Hobbie, installs a sophisticated mass spec- trometry facility for its own and general use, reflecting increased exploitation of stable isotope methods in ecological research. The facility is funded by generous grants from the NSF and the A. W. Mellon Foundation, and to some extent by the Center's own reserve funds. The productivity of Louis Leibovitz's Laboratory of Marine Animal Health continues to rise: a science of marine animal medicine to include invertebrates as well as vertebrates is in the making. The Laboratories of Sensory Physiology and of Biophysics continue to be identified by various forms of recognition as excellent. Serious planning for the future of the Boston University Marine Program appears to have begun: searches for a new Director and additional faculty are underway. The program continues to attract excellent graduate students. In these times of insanely chancy funding, such distinguished MBL investigators as J. R. Whittaker, R. E. Ste- phens, and O. Shimomura continue to be solidly supported. L. JafiVs National Vi- brating Probe facility provides more and more, not only for Jaffe's important research, but for others who discover how useful is the unique field-mapping capability of the instrument. The whole year-round scientific community seems, despite the peculiar arrangements by which it exists at the MBL, to be productive, mutually cooperative, even, possibly, happy. Summer research and instruction: The merest vignette, but one that should suffice for Corporation members, most of whom have a sense of how things are in this era of federal deficit reduction: in 1986 the MBL will again be full. At least at the time of writing (May, 1986), there is no suggestion of a decline of demand for research space, instruction, conference facilities. Applications for places in summer courses are up by more than 30% over 1985. The Friday Evening Lectures will be as distinguished as ever; there will be more fellows and scholars; more short-term visitors to courses and to the scientific community as a whole. Not unimportant: there will be twenty new, very handsome rental cottages: every one will be filled: there is a waiting list already. The departments: Here is the most attenuated vignette of all. Hurricane Gloria. In September of 1985, with barely adequate warning, the storm was upon us, and at a time of year when there is an understandable relaxation a slight let-down of the guard among MBL employees, catching a communal breath after the frenetic sum- mer. To be sure, Gloria could have been much nastier with the northeast USA than she was. But there was nevertheless a great deal of damage everywhere along the coast, and Woods Hole was within the target area. On an already wet and evil morning, not long after dawn: I find the MBL a beehive. B & G staff, Aparatus staff, John Valois and the Captains, research assistants everyone with responsibility (including, of course, a cadre of anxious scientists, torn between fears for the supercold freezer in the laboratory and worries about the food freezer and the children at home). A beehive literally. What might be taken for a lot of senseless milling about is in fact the worker bees in a schwdntzetanz: moving pur- posefully, communicating, putting forward the imperative of the hive. All vessels afloat are secured; heavy storm shutters are fixed in place; scores of sandbags are brought and emplaced; emergency power provided for; glass area protected. Not long after, the first great blasts strike ... 50 knots . . . and there are creakings and the groans 40 MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY of tied-down structure under strain. Water Street begins to live up to its name as waves break green and white over the sea wall. We are lucky: the tide is falling and will continue to fall through the peak of wind velocity, which ought to be at about noon. At noon in fact it seems the late evening of a vicious winter's day. My hand anemometer, borrowed from the nav-station of UCA, my boat (a pugnacious fiddler- crab is UCA), registers 75 knots. The long day ends. It is still blowing crazily, trees bending as though they were mere sticks; but it is clear that the MBL will be all right. The next day is partly sunny and warm. The sea is innocent and seems to know nothing about violence and danger. Practically no words were said, before or after, by anyone behaving as a drill- sergeant. MBL people simply did what they know how to do, when it had to be done. The damage was, in the end and when assessed, minor. As is always the case here, we learned a little about how to do things better the next time. VII. REPORT OF THE TREASURER In February of 1986, 1 discussed with Dr. Gifford my wish to be replaced as Trea- surer of the Marine Biological Laboratory. This decision on my part was reached after thoughtful inquiry, one year "on the job," and my judgment that the responsibilities of the office of the Treasurer, stated and implied, require full-time "hands-on" attention and management. Today the Laboratory operates year-round. It has financial transactions with entities both private and public. Its financial health depends on its continuing ability to attract grants and gifts for the purchase and maintenance of its facilities and equipment. To meet the current demand, the Laboratory engages in many "businesses." The financial consequences of these businesses and the time it takes to manage them varies widely. Many of these responsibilities should not be delegated nor should they be managed on a "knee jerk" reaction basis by a part-time volunteer Treasurer. I have decided to step aside in support of this judgment. My review of prior years' Treasurer's reports to the Corporation shall be my guide in the preparation of this report. First, I shall comment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities (including fund balances). Then I shall comment briefly on the Schedule of Support, Revenues, Ex- penses, and Changes in the Fund Balance. Net current assets (Working Capital) decreased $482,000 occasioned by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $600,000, of which $450,000 was transferred to the Pooled Investment portfolio; the increase in Receivables of $441,000 mostly in grants, includes $21 1,000 of billings for which payment was received subsequent to the year- end closing of the books. Efforts to reduce the grants and other receivables have been underway and I am pleased to report that these receivables have been reduced from $1,1 15,000 to $497,000 as of the end of March, 1986. Accounts payable increased $174,000. Note Payable of $100,000 represents the proceeds of a temporary unsecured loan. These proceeds were used for the Memorial Circle construction pending the recording of and repayment from the permanent secured loan. This occurred in January of 1986. Two new items were added to the schedule in S985; a contingent liability of $50,000 for the over-recovery of overhead costs and an accrual of $75,000 for wages earned during the latter part of the year, which were paid in 1986. Investments (including retirement fund securities) increased $861,000 (cost value) principally reflecting the first increment of $500,000 from the Mellon Match com- mitment. MBL books its investments at cost. (Not all non-profit corporations do so.) Given the remarkable advance in stock and bond values in the last quarter of 1985, the year- REPORT OF THE TREASURER 41 end book value of the endowment (including quasi-endowments) and the retirement funds is understated by $2,254,000. The Statement of Support, Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Balance shows a significant increase in expenses of $1,000,000 an increase of 10%, while income to support these expenses increased $300,000 or 2.8%. I am advised that the 1985 Budget prepared and approved in 1984 anticipated the increased expense. In summary, if one includes the positive influence of the securities market on the financial position of the MBL as of year-end 1985, it was on average a very good year for the MBL. The financial control unit under the direction of John Speer and with the assistance of Coopers & Lybrand, our independent auditors, and other counsel, have been engaged for some time in developing improvements in the accounting, personnel management, and cost control systems of the MBL. During 1985, three significant recommendations were presented to the Executive Committee and received their approval. They were: (a) An improved overhead assignment formula that will ensure the recovery of a fair division of these costs from the various users of the facilities and equipment. (b) A personnel management system which includes individual job descriptions and evaluations. These will be most useful in providing standards for logical and equitable management and compensation to our staff. (c) The establishment of separate funds in the financial accounting system for housing and for food services. These new restricted accounts will appear in the 1986 financial reports. Under "Other but Necessary Business": the twenty units of additional housing at Memorial Circle were authorized and commenced in the fall of 1985 with completion scheduled for June, 1986. I am pleased to report that they have been finished on time and within budget. The placement of these new units has been the subject of favorable trustee comment. Credit for this excellent work belongs to our engineers, Holmes & McGrath, who developed the site plan and utility design; Woodside Park Corporation for construction of the buildings, roads, etc.; to Homer Smith for his continuing as- sistance at all levels including the procurement of the furnishings for the cottages; and to Donald Lehy, the owner's representative at the site. In 1985, Dr. Gross sought and obtained multiple year gifts for the support of the instruction program. These gifts are sufficient to balance instruction costs through 1987. This was a most necessary life sustaining transfusion for this function. From where and from whom will funds be obtained to replace those funds when they are expended as planned? When will our endowments increase in principal value so they will generate sufficient income to replace our dependency on crisis funding for on- going functions? These are questions that should and must be answered by the senior management, Trustees, Corporators, and the Associates of MBL. This brings me full circle to my opening remarks. Times have changed. Financial planning and its execution is a full-time, year-round responsibility of the MBL. The corporate office charged with this responsibility is and has been that of the Treasurer, when in fact, the duties have been performed on a daily basis by a non-corporate officer, the Controller. It is my conviction that this arrangement should be changed and that the MBL must have a full-time senior financial officer. While I have been preparing these comments, I have learned that Robert D. Manz recently of Coopers & Lybrand and for the past several years the auditor in charge of the MBL audit, has recently established himself as a financial consultant in private practice. Bob has agreed to become MBL's Treasurer and will bring to the office a board knowledge of the financial affairs of non-profit, scientific research organizations and in the specific, a unique knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of MBL's financial affairs. 42 MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY Coopers &Lybrand certified public accountants To the Trustees of Marine Biological Laboratory Woods Hole, Massachusetts We have examined the balance sheet of Marine Biological Laboratory as of December 31, 1985 and the related statement of support, revenues, expenses and changes In fund balances for the year then ended. Our examination was made In accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, Included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary In the circumstances. We previously examined and reported upon the financial statements of the Laboratory for the year ended December 31, 1984, which condensed statements are presented for comparative purposes only. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the financial position of Marine Biological Laboratory at December 31, 1985 and Its support, revenues, expenses and changes In fund balances for the year then ended, In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Land, Buildings, and Equipment: The following is a summary of the unrestricted plant fund assets: 7955 Land Construction in progress Buildings Equipment Less accumulated depreciation $ 689,660 140,826 14,861,244 2,113,321 17,805,051 6,579,654 $11,225,397 1984 $ 689,660 14,772,449 1,974,495 17,436,604 6,090,140 $11,346,464 Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of fixed assets. D. Retirement Fund: The Laboratory has a noncontributory pension plan for substantially all full-time employees, which complies with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Lab- oratory's policy is to fund pension costs accrued, as determined under the projected unit credit method. The actuarially determined pension expense charged to operations in 1985 was $146,253. As of the latest valuation date, based on benefit information at December 31, 1984, the actuarial present values of vested and nonvested benefits, assuming an investment rate of return of 7%, were approximately $1,300,175 and $60,833, respectively. At December 31, 1985, net assets of the plan available for benefits were approximately $1,687,072. In addition, the Laboratory participates in the pension program of the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association. E. Pledges and Grants: As of December 31, 1985 and 1984, the following amounts remain to be received on gifts and grants for specific research and instruction programs, and are expected to be received as follows: 1986 1987 1988 Decembers], 1985 Unrestricted $15,000 10,000 10,000 $35,000 Restricted $ 703,128 550,240 15,000 $1,268,368 December 31, 1984 Unrestricted $5,000 $5,000 Restricted $ 8,000 6,651 $14,651 In February 1979, the Laboratory initiated the MBL Second Century Fund, a phased effort, to secure $23,000,000 in support of capital rehabilitation, new construction, and endowment funds. As of December 31, 1985, the Laboratory has received pledges related to this effort of approximately $8,550,129, of which a substantial portion has been collected. 48 MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY fN o oc. oo SO ^. ^ m r~ >n 3> rt~. o (*rj t^ <-, On < [- ~o sq^ rn^ fN o *\ l> (N j-^. ,-r. , , fN [^^ (N *n C .* C Oo "~* oo t^- CxO i oo r^- ~-> 2; ^ ^t 00 TT 1 oo' Os r^' ~ O fN cs ^-^ " in C c 1> e > ^ oo ^ o r Os in c SO t LTl so ' "" >j.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN The National Marine Fisheries Service in Woods Hole has placed its library col- lection in the MBL Library. We now provide full library services to the scientists at the Fisheries making the MBL Library the main library for all four institutions in Woods Hole. This move has been discussed for years and it became official when the MBL was awarded the contract by NOAA early this year. Our collection will be in- creased by approximately 1 500 books. Most of the journal sets held at the Fisheries are duplicated here and their volumes will be sent to other Fishery libraries. A few new titles will be added to the periodical collection. The scientists at the Fisheries have used the MBL Library since the founding of the Laboratory. The Minutes of the MBL Trustee meeting in 1889 record that the Fisheries contributed both books and pamphlets to the original collection compiled in 1888. Over the years their scientists have been helpful with advice on collection development in their specialized subjects. Everyone benefits from such an arrangement. The Fisheries will save space and money while at the same time contributing financially to the MBL Library operation. The Reprint collection (Stack One) was cleared this year for the final move of the periodical collection. We say "final move" as we are committed to a collection of no larger than 200,000 volumes. The new laser disc technology makes it possible to keep adding new material to the collection without requiring more shelf space. The Library Users Committee and the librarians are studying all new developments of this method of electron storage. During August, when a large number of scientists were in residence, we had a Library Week. A number of companies exhibited their products for three days and an evening meeting was held for discussion with all involved. For three months we moved the periodical collection, using the stack floor gained by the reprint move. All journals are now housed in alphabetical order on the five floors of stacks. The Reprints have been placed in storage until time permits for rear- rangement in another area of the library. Ninety percent of the reprints are available in the published volumes in the stacks and all are cataloged in the main catalog by author so the major part of the collection is still available. This year we started placing our serial collection of nearly 5000 titles into the OCLC database. It's an expensive project but we are fortunate to have all expenses covered by a Title III Grant from the Massachusetts Library Commissioners. Catherine Norton, Assistant Librarian, wrote the grant working with the Librarian at the Falmouth Public Library and 42 other Public libraries on the Cape and Islands. All serial titles held in southeastern Massachusetts will be placed in this database. The information will be available on-line to all libraries. Catherine is the coordinator of the project and a new IBM-PC is in our Library for the specific use of the people involved in entering the material. The computer will remain the property of the Library when the project is completed. IX.

(August, 1986) EVOLUTION AND FUNCTION OF STRUCTURALLY DIVERSE SUBUN1TS IN THE RESPIRATORY PROTEIN HEMOCYANIN FROM ARTHROPODS JURGEN MARKL Zoologisches Institut, Universitdt Miinchen, Luisenstr. 14, D-8000 Miinchen 2, Federal Republic of Germany ABSTRACT Native aggregation level and subunit composition of the hemocyanins from 86 adult chelicerates and crustaceans, and from the larval stages of 2 crabs, were analyzed by means of electron microscopy, polyacrylamide electrophoresis, immuno blotting, and crossed immunoelectrophoresis, supported by a variety of preparative separation techniques. The up to eight immunologically discernible subunit types were interspe- cifically correlated, classified, and evolution lines derived. Phylogenetic consequences are discussed, and are particularly aggravating in spiders. A single subunit suffices for the formation of hexamers (1 X 6). In the architecture of higher-ordered hemocyanins, the various subunits act as building-blocks of distinct specification. This was studied in 2 X 6 molecules from a hunting spider and several crustaceans, and in 4 X 6 hemocyanin from a tarantula. The various subunits are present in constant proportions. The total set is required to reorganize the original aggregate from subunit mixtures. Stable oligomeric segments of native hemocyanin particles revealed the gross distribution of the diverse subunits. Immuno electron microscopy of the native hemocyanins decorated with monospecific Fab fragments showed the exact topographic position of each subunit type, and detailed models of the quaternary structure could be derived. The oxygen binding function of 4 X 6 hemocyanin from the tarantula Eurypelma californicum is excessively modulated by subunit interaction phenomena. We measured native, reassembled, and mercury-blocked 4 X 6-mers, oligomeric segments, single subunits, and reassembled 4 X 6-mers with one subunit type chemically modified. The spatial range of allosteric interaction, and specific contributions of the diverse subunits are outlined. INTRODUCTION Hemocyanin, a blue copper-protein, functions as an oxygen carrier in the blood of arachnids, horseshoe crabs, crustaceans, and centipedes. Another hemocyanin occurs in inkfishes, chitons, many snails, and some primitive bivalves; however, despite certain similarities, molluscan hemocyanin differs decisively from arthropod hemocyanin in its main structural features, and therefore will not be discussed here. Most certainly, both pigments have evolved independently from tyrosinase, an ancestral precursor. Arthropod hemocyanins are multi-subunit proteins with a molecular mass of about 75,000 per polypeptide chain. The polypeptides or subunits are arranged as cubic hexamers (1 : 6), or multiples of hexamers (2 X 6, 4 X 6, 6 X 6, 8 X 6); the native aggregation level is species-specific. (Ghiretti, 1968; Van Holde and van Bruggen, 1971; Van Holde and Miller, 1982; van Bruggen et at, 1982; Ellerton el at, 1983; Received 4 February 1986; accepted 29 May 1986. Present address: Institute of Cell and Tumor Biology, German Cancer Research Center, D-6900 Hei- delberg, Federal Republic of Germany. 90 HEMOCYANIN SUBUNITS IN ARTHROPODS 91 Huber and Lerch, 1986; Mangum et ai, 1985; Morse et al, 1986). In molecular mass, the 8 X 6-mer (48 subunits) exceeds human hemoglobin 50-fold, and measures about 25 nanometers across, corresponding to the size of a ribosome. The three-dimensional structure of the basic hexamer recently was elucidated in detail (Gaykema et al, 1984). All hemocyanin aggregates are clearly visible in the electron microscope (Fig. 3); the arrangement of hexamers in the higher-ordered molecules, as shown in Figure 1 , was partially derived by computer image analysis (Van Heel and Frank, 1981; Bijlholt et al, 1982). Hemocyanin is not incorporated in cells, due to physical problems (Mangum, 1985), but floats freely in the blood in concentrations up to 120 mg/ml (scorpions), meaning that it fills up to '/ 10 of the hemolymph space; the average distance from one molecule to the next equals its own diameter. Arthropod hemocyanin particles dis- sociate at alkaline pH into their subunits, which are capable still of reversibly binding oxygen. By dialysis of the obtained subunit mixtures against neutral pH, a self-assembly at least of hexamers, and frequently also of higher-ordered molecules occurs. Each subunit is a delicate structure of around 10,000 atoms: 620 amino acids, which form three domains containing the binuclear copper site, 20 alpha helices, and a large seven-stranded beta barrel (Gaykema et al, 1984; Linzen et al, 1985). At first glance this appears to be a considerable luxury placing two metal atoms in the position to bind one molecule of oxygen in the respiratory organs, and to free it again in an oxygen-consuming tissue. The red hemoglobin and a derivative, the green chloro- cruorin, achieve this with only 140 amino acids per polypeptide chain and thus attain, with the same effort of protein material, a four-fold oxygen binding capacity. The third known group of respiratory proteins, the pink hemerythrins, with a five-fold oxygen transport capacity, does an even better job in this respect. Therefore, one might suggest that hemocyanin, which in most groups was inefficient to compete with the more economical pigments, is a dead-end product of evolution. However, looking at their distribution among the Invertebrata, we observe that hemocyanin occurs exces- sively in highly complex animals whereas the more primitive phyla dispose of either hemoglobin, chlorocruorin, or hemerythrin (Prosser, 1973; Bonaventura and Bon- aventura, 1980). This is surprising because extracellular hemoglobins as well as red blood cell hemoglobins occur sporadically in molluscs as well as in arthropods (foremost in lower taxa), and thus have been available phylogenetically. What possible advantage made hemocyanin successful over hemoglobin in presumably 100,000 highly advanced animal species, despite its considerably lower oxygen binding capacity? This can be speculated at least for arthropods. As with hemoglobin, the reversible oxygen binding of the blue protein is enhanced, modulated, and adapted by so-called "allosteric" phenomena, based on complex interactions between subunits. Arthropod hemocyanins display this functional plasticity to an extent unknown for hemoglobin or any other allosteric protein (Loewe, 1978; Mangum, 1985). Moreover, no hemoglobin found in a possible candidate for the ancestral arthropod or mollusc exhibits an appreciable allosteric behavior. Among the Invertebrata, the heme proteins with more than token cooperativity are, with a single exception (the bivalve Scapharca inaequivalvis: Ascoli et al., 1986), the extracellular ones, which invariably occur in the more specialized groups in a particular taxon. So the ancestors of the hemocyanin-containing molluscs and arthropods were really choosing between a functionally inflexible intracellular hemoglobin (high to moderate oxygen affinity, essentially uncooperative and pH-, inorganic ion-, and organic cofactor-insensitive) and a highly plastic (with respect to oxygen affinity and pH dependence), moderately to highly cooperative, inorganic ion and organic cofactor modulable extracellular hemocyanin. To make the decision easier, it is harder to push a red blood cell-containing hemolymph around in an arthropodan or molluscan circulatory system that lacks capillaries (Mangum, 1985). 92 J. MARKL Vertebrates evolved a special intracellular hemoglobin which is modulable to some degree, and which compensates for its limited functional plasticity with strong ven- tilation and circulatory systems which continuously create high gas diffusion rates. Moreover, their interior regulation is efficient enough to embed the hemoglobin in permanent homeostasis, which protects it against drastic changes of the milieu. As a result, their blood gained the extremely high oxygen carrying capacity of intracellular hemoglobin. The higher arthropods display sensory and locomotory activities com- parable to those of many vertebrates. As in vertebrates, these activities require a con- tinuous, abundant oxygen supply of the involved tissues, despite the more limited vegetative control mechanism in these animals and despite their gills and lungs being lined with chitin that hinders gas diffusion. Their respiratory protein thus plays a much more decisive role as a molecular interface between body tissues and environment. Extremely flexible in function, arthropod hemocyanin compensates for environmental and physiological changes during the life-cycle of the organism (Mangum, 1980; Man- gum, 1983), and it also has demonstrated flexibility in the evolution of countless crabs, crayfishes, shrimps, isopods, scorpions and spiders, each adapted to a special aquatic or terrestrial situation. The "clue" to arthropod hemocyanins is their multigenicity: they are composed of several structurally and functionally different types of subunits. This has been studied intensively worldwide during the last decade (for review: Linzen, 1983). The phylogeny of those subunits, and of the various oligomers, is now well understood. In addition we learned that the native aggregation level, and also most probably the oxygen binding characteristics, are ultimately dependent on the special subunit composition. MATERIALS AND METHODS Animal sources, and the specificity of the applied antisera (raised in rabbits) are described elsewhere (Markl et ai, 1986a). Other methods are described in detail in the cited literature. However, for a better understanding of the following discussion, a brief description of the major immunochemical approaches may be useful. Immu- nochemists use very powerful and sensitive techniques (e.g., radioimmunoassay, en- zyme-linked immunoassay) which enables the calculation of immunological differences between proteins in 1% steps by successively quantitating the immune reaction between each of the proteins and a suited antiserum. Unfortunately, in our case those methods were inadequate because the hemocyanin subunit samples, especially from crustaceans, were uncontrollably contaminated by self-reassembled aggregates (if the dissociation conditions were too gentle), or by partially denatured subunits (if we chose more drastic conditions). Those contaminants display special immune reactions: compared to subunits, aggregates react at least ten-fold stronger, and denaturation, (e.g., with urea) spirited away intraspecific as well as interspecific immunological differences between hemocyanin subunits (Lamy et ai, 198 la; Stocker, 1984; Kempter et al, 1985). Therefore our data would have been seriously falsified had we used a "blind" quantitative method. Crossed imrn unoelectrophoresis We instead applied the crossed immunoelectrophoresis which, though only being semi-quantitative and less sensitive (soluble immune complexes escape the detection), allows a selective comparison of the desired components in a particular sample. This two-dimensional technique (Weeke, 1973) in the first dimension separates proteins in an agarose gel according to charge differences. In the second dimension the proteins HEMOCYANIN SUBUNITS IN ARTHROPODS 93 migrate, again electrophoretically, into an antiserum-containing agarose gel. Each pro- tein which reacts with the antiserum forms a curved precipitation line; intersecting lines allow the structural comparison of the respective proteins. In all the patterns discussed here, the anode was on the left in the first dimension. Variations of this technique (tandem-crossed and crossed-line immunoelectrophoresis) enable an inter- section of proteins from two different samples. Immuno blotting Especially for comparisons of phylogenetically distant subunits, the more sensitive immuno blotting ("Western blotting") technique was used (Towbin et al, 1979; Bur- nette, 198 1 ). The native subunit patterns obtained by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were transferred by diffusion (the currently used electro transfer caused denaturation!) onto an immobilizing nitrocellulose sheet, and then treated with subunit-specific rabbit antibodies. A second goat antiserum against rabbit antibodies was applied subsequently. The second antibodies carry pick-a-back horseradish peroxidase molecules. This en- zyme catalyzes a reaction with added diamino benzidine, resulting in a brownish color. Specifically, only those subunit bands which had reacted with the first antibody are stained, whereas other subunits remain invisible. The weak peroxidase activity of hemocyanin (Ghiretti, 1968) was low. This technique is advantageous as soluble im- mune complexes also are recorded. However, immuno blotting could not serve us exclusively because it was unable to distinguish slight differences between closely related subunits; for this, crossed immunoelectrophoresis was the better tool. HEMOCYANINS OF THE ARACHNIDA AND OF ALLIED GROUPS Extent of subunit diversity in tarantula hemocyanin Ten years ago, when we decided to study the blue blood protein of the North American tarantula, Eurypelma californicum, a 4 X 6-mer, few and very contradictory data were available on the number of subunit types present in any one hemocyanin. Polyacrylamide gradient slabgel electrophoresis is an extremely powerful technique used to separate a mixture of very similar proteins. In a buffer system which separates proteins primarily according to charge differences (molecular mass differences played an additional, but minor role), the subunit mixture of tarantula hemocyanin yielded 6 distinct bands: 5 monomers (= single polypeptides) and a dimer. Using a combination of gel chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, and preparative polyacrylamide electrophoresis (today we use immuno affinity chromatography in one single step), each of the six components could be preparatively isolated. In a detergent-containing polyacrylamide gel, which separates polypeptides according to molecular mass differ- ences, we detected that the dimeric subunit is composed of two different monomers (Schneider et al., 1977; Mark! et al., 1979a). Thus, the final result was a complex pattern of seven polypeptide chains, which we later have designated as a through g (Fig. 1 ). Also a third method visualized the marked diversity of those subunits, namely the crossed immunoelectrophoresis (Fig. 1). No immunological cross-reactivities be- tween any two subunits could be detected (Lamy et al., 1979a). This indicated that the surface structures must be significantly different, which implied major differences in function. Distribution of the 4 X 6-mer and its derivatives We found no hemocyanin in the sun spider ("wind scorpion") Galeodes sp., and in the watermite Hydrachna geographica (Markl et al., 1986a). Both animals possess 94 J. MARKL Bathynomus FIGURE 1. Topographical models of the quaternary structure of four arthropodan hemocyanins. The phylogenetic tree shows the relationships between the various subunit types (Kempter et al., 1985; Markl el al, 1986a). The subunits are visualized in their respective patterns of crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Subunit topographies are based on electron microscope analyses of the overall morphology (Van Holde and van Bruggen, 1971; Markl, 1980; Bijlholt el al, 1982; van Bruggen, 1983), and were derived from the combined results of four different approaches: (i) determination of subunit compositions and stoichiometries, (ii) analysis of oligomeric dissociation fragments in comparison with the whole molecule, (iii) reassembly experiments with various subunit combinations, (iv) direct observation in the electron microscope after having decorated the native particles with subunit-specific antibodies (respectively antibody fragments). Beyond the 1 X 6 level, for the formation of the original aggregate the presence of all subunit types is ultimately required. This reflects perfectly the distinct structural roles played by these subunits. *: Subunit h is restricted to scorpion hemocyanin (see Fig. 2). 1 X 6 hemocyanin of the deep sea isopod Bathynomus giganteus (a gift of M. Brenowitz) is exclusively composed of alpha subunits (Van Holde and Brenowitz, 1981, and unpub. data). 2X6 hemocyanin of the spider Cupiennius salei is composed of a disulfide-bridged dimer d-d and 10 monomers /(Markl, 1980). 2X6 hemocyanin of the crab Cancer pagurus consists of a non-covalent dimer alpha'-alpha', a central 4-beta cluster, and, more peripheral, 2 alpha and 4 gamma subunits. A certain flexibility in substituting gamma subunits for alpha appears to exist. 2X6 hemocyanin from the freshwater crayfish Astacus leptodactylus is constructed correspondingly, but contains a disulfide-bridged dimer. The crab Callinectes sapidus and the lobster Homarus americanus fit into the scheme, although in those cases no dimer could be identified (Markl et al., 1983; Stocker et al., 1986). 4x6 hemocyanin of the tarantula Eurypelma californicum is constructed of a central tetrameric bc- bc ring, symmetrically surrounded by 20 monomers: one a, d, e, f, and g in each basic hexamer. Most probably, peripheral bridges between the two 2 X 6-meric halves are formed via// According to Mark! et al. (198 Id). Comparable results stem from scorpion and xiphosuran hemocyanins (Lamy et al., 1981b, 1983b). a well-developed trachea system and therefore probably have no need of a respiratory pigment. However, as indicated in Figure 2, 4 X 6-mers composed of multiple subunits are present in whip scorpions and whip spiders (Markl et al., 1978, 1979b). A break- through like that made with Eurypelma hemocyanin was achieved in the analysis of the 4X6 hemocyanin of another arachnid, the scorpion Androctonus australis, and the 8 X 6 hemocyanin of a xiphosur, the horseshoe crab Limulus polyphemus (Hoylaerts et al., 1979; Lamy et al., 1979b, c; Markl et al, 1979b; Brenowitz et al, 1981). An- droctonus hemocyanin contains an eighth subunit type, designated by us as h, and Limulus hemocyanin shows two variations of subunit g, but for the rest both molecules are composed like Eurypelma hemocyanin (Fig. 2). This correspondence was recently confirmed by comparative immunochemistry: each subunit of the tarantula has a HEMOCYANIN SUBUNITS IN ARTHROPODS 95 Hydrachno geographica g(4] Mastigoproctus brasilianus Tnchodamon froesi Tarantuta palmata Androctonus australis Leiurus quinquestriatus Colossendeis spec L.mulus Polyphemus Tachypleus tndentatus Eurypelma Androctonus Colossendeis ' Cupienmus SDS PAGE FIGURE 2. Distribution of hemocyanin among the subphylum Chelicerata. The patterns of crossed immunoelectrophoresis show the respective subunit composition; hatched squares symbolize the native aggregation states (8 X 6, 4 X 6, 2 X 6; small squares correspond to hexamers *). Immunologically homologous subunits are identically labeled using the designations a-h established for spider hemocyanins. Scorpion and xiphosuran subunits are additionally labeled according to their original designations (Lamy et ai, 1979a, b, c; Markl, 1980). The results from Tachypleus and Leiurus (Lamy et ai, 1979c; Markl et ai. 1984) are not discussed in the text, but fit well into the scheme. Whip spider and whip scorpion hemocyanin subunits were studied only by electrophoresis (Markl et ai, 1979b). Opilionids possess 2x6 hemocyanin (Kempter et ai, 1985), whereas no hemocyanin was found in Galeodes, Hydrachna, and Colossendeis (Markl et ai, 1986a). The figure is taken from Markl et ai (1986a). Left insert: polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of hemolymph proteins in the presence of a detergent (sodium dodecyl sulphate = SDS), showing that the sea spider Colossendeis possesses no hemo- cyanin (He), but it does possess the typical arachnidan non-respiratory protein (NRP). This was con- firmed by immuno blotting. Comparable unpublished results were recently obtained with the pycnogonid Nymphon sp. Right insert: phylogenetic relationships between the eight cheliceratan subunits according to the combined information of Lamy et ai, 1983a, Markl et ai, 1984, and Kempter et ai, 1985. Broader lines indicate that with anti-crustacean alpha antiserum, subunits a, d, and /are recognized best. * For better comparison with the current literature: the sedimentation coefficients of the four aggregates are 60S (8X6 = 48-mer), 35S (4X6 = 24-mer), 24S (2x6= 12-mer), and 16S (1 X 6 = 6-mer). homologous subunit in scorpion and horseshoe crab hemocyanin (Lamy et al, 1983a; Markl et al, 1984; Kempter et al., 1985). Moreover, a phylogenetic tree of the subunits could be derived: the pairs d/f, e/g, b/c, and a/h. respectively, are phylogenetically closely connected (Fig. 1 , and right insert in Fig. 2). Although at that point the various subunits still could be neutral features that have been inherited because they weren't selected against, the heterogeneity appeared as a basic structural design worth conserving in evolution at least since that time when the progenitors of arachnids and xiphosurs diverged from each other. Fossils show that this happened during the Siluran era, more than 400 million years ago (Tiegs and Manton, 1958; Bergstrom et al., 1980). All the more surprisingly, 4X6 hemocyanin 96 J. MARKL was discarded twice in rather advanced arachnidan groups, and replaced by relatively simple 1 X 6 and 2X6 hemocyanins (Fig. 2). This occurred in the harvestmen (daddy- long-legs; Kempter et a/., 1985) and, independently, in certain spiders (Wibo, 1966; Markl et al, 1976, 1983, I986a). This phenomenon has been studied intensively, especially in spiders. The blood of the large Central American hunting spider Cupien- nius salei contains both 1 X 6 and 2X6 hemocyanin. The 1 X 6-mers showed electrophoretically 5 different subunit bands. However, to our suprise, these compo- nents were completely identical immunologically (Markl and Kempter, 198 la). All five could be correlated immunologically with subunit / of Eurypelma (Markl et al., 1984; Kempter et al., 1985). 2 X 6-mers, present as a main component of Cupiennius blood, are also composed of / : homologons, but also contain a dimeric subunit (Fig. 1 ). This dimer is immunologically related to, but somewhat distinct from the monomers (Markl, 1980) and, as revealed recently by immuno blotting, predominantly related to Eurypelma subunit d (Markl et al., 1986a). Thus, the 2 X 6 hemocyanin of Cu- piennius can be derived phylogenetically from a 4 X 6-mer progenitor. The architecture o/Cupiennius hemocyanin Parallel to the comparative studies described so far, we attempted from the begin- ning to analyze hemocyanin subunits with respect to their reassembly behavior, native stoichiometry, and topologic position in the respective oligo-hexamer. Our goal was to reveal principles of the blue protein's architecture. We used a variety of analytical methods, but especially polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunochemistry, and electron microscopy. Each of the monomeric/isozyms of Cupiennius salei hemocyanin formed regular homo-hexamers in reassembly experiments; to reorganize the dode- camer, the disulfide-bridged dimer dd also was required (Markl, 1980; Markl and Kempter, 198 la). Stoichiometrically, each 2X6 particle contained one copy of dd and ten copies of/ Electron microscopy indicated that a one-point contact between the two hexameric halves could be assumed (Fig. 1). Reducing agents, which cleaved the isolated dimer into single d monomers, also cut the 2 X 6-mer down to hexamers. Together, these techniques strongly indicated, but only indirectly, that the dimer was an inter-hexamer bridge how could this be tested more rigorously? Immuno labeling experiments, as described below, were unsuccessful because of the marked immuno- logical similarity between Cupiennius ddandf. The solution came unexpectedly: when we monitored the dissociation of a 2 X 6 fraction electrophoretically, we observed that the process passed over a stable oligomeric fragment of unusual size. Molecular mass determinations characterized it as heptamer. In a carefully directed electron microscopic survey we indeed detected a strange, yet undescribed molecule: a regular hexamer with a protruding particle (Fig. 3). We isolated this heptamer and, by reducing agents, cut off the protrusion obviously a fragment of the molecular bridge. The products of this cleavage were hexamers and single subunits d. Thus indeed, the pro- trusion was identified as the half of the dimer. The resulting model of quaternary structure (Fig. 1 ) was, among all hemocyanin models, the first which showed a directly localized subunit type in its topologic position (Markl, 1980). The 4 / -mer a symmetrical mosaic Computer analysis of electron microscope images revealed the general morphology of Eurypelma californicum hemocyanin particles (Bijlholt et al., 1982): the two basic hexamers within a half-structure are rotated against each other in a right angle and come in close contact; the 2 X 6-meric halves keep more distance and are slightly tilted with respect to each other (Fig. 1 ). Since two subunit types form a 2 X 6-mer, the necessity of five more different components to make the protein twice as large was difficult to see, and we asked HEMOCYANIN SUBUNITS IN ARTHROPODS 97 - ^*+2Z' V r> ' ' &w % Jl " A -'' ,-' t .-*.* 35 S 305 245 18S 165 FIGURE 3.

From Markl (1980). Below: electron micrographs of negatively stained hemocyanin particles from the tarantula Eurypelma californicum. The molecules were obtained after 3 hours dialysis of native 4 x 6-mers against pH 9.6, which caused a partial dissociation into oligomeric fragments (upper panel, the bar represents 50 nm). The magnified images (lower panel) have the position and orientation of the heterodimeric subunit be indicated, and are from left to right: 4 x 6-mer (= 24-mer, sediments in the analytical ultracentrifuge with 35S); 3 x 6-mer with one additional subunit protruding in the gap (= 19-mer, 30S); 2 X 6-mer (= dodecamer, 24S); 1 X 6- mer with an additional subunit protruding (= heptamer; 18S); 1 x 6-mer (= hexamer, 16S). The figure is taken from Markl et al, 1981c. ourselves whether all of these components are really incorporated in the same he- mocyanin particle. Using various analytical methods, we tried to detect a heterogeneity of the 4X6 molecules of Eurypelma; finally we were convinced that indeed only a single type of 4 X 6-mer exists (Markl et al., 1980). The 7 subunits, designated a through g, are present in constant proportions: 4a + 2b + 2c + 4d + 4e + 4/+ 4g = 24 (Markl et al, 1980, 198 la). The self-assembly process of the 4 X 6-mer is char- acterized by a striking specificity: reassembled molecules equal native molecules in the stoichiometry of their subunit composition (Decker et al., 1980). None of the subunits was able to self-assemble to homo-hexamers, in contrast to certain horseshoe crab and scorpion hemocyanin components (Lamy et al., 1977; Bijlholt et al., 1979; Brenowitz et al., 1983). A series of reassembly experiments with all possible subunit combinations revealed that indeed each subunit type is required to build up the oligo- 98 J. MARKL meric architecture. A substitution by another subunit is not successful: the reassembly process will stop at a certain level, which is typical for each subunit combination (Markl et al, 1981b, 1982). Most of the intermediate structures obtained morpholog- ically corresponded to one of the dissociation fragments described below (Fig. 3). Stable 4X6 particle -vith a "normal" appearance in the electron microscope are only reorganized in the presence of all seven components. After this, our goal was to localize each subunii within the native 4X6 particle. Again, an essential part was the investigation of stable oligomeric dissociation fragments. We attempted a carefully directed search for heptamers, which we indeed found (Fig. 3), together with "con- ventional" dodecamers and hexamers (Markl et al., 198 Ic). Additionally, a new frag- ment appeared: a 19-mer, composed of 3 hexamers and a small protrusion in the gap (Fig. 3). Isolation and analysis of the 4 fragments revealed that the various copies of the 7 subunits are symmetrically distributed among the 4X6 particle (Markl et al., 198 la). The exact topology was determined by direct localization of subunits in the electron microscope after having decorated the 4 X 6-mer with subunit-specific antibody fragments (Markl et al., 1 98 1 d). A ringlike bc-bc tetramer forms the central core which connects the hexameric quarter-structures. Presumably, two f-j homodimers achieve more peripheral contacts between the 2 X 6-halves. Within each 2 X 6-mer, subunits a and d are involved in the inter-hexamer connection, whereas subunits e and g are arranged peripherally. This model of quaternary structure (Fig. 1 ) is in agreement with a model which was published in the same year for the 4X6 hemocyanin of the scorpion Androctonus australis (Lamy et al., 1981b). 8X6 hemocyanin of the horseshoe crab Limulus polyphemus is dissociable into 4X6 half-molecules, which morphologically correspond in detail with native An- droctonus and Eurypelma 4 X 6-mers (Bijlholt et al, 1982), and consist of an im- munologically related set of subunits (Lamy et al., 1983a; Kempter et al., 1985). Hybrid hemocyanin molecules ("protein chimaeras"), which we obtained by co-reas- sembly of subunits from the three species, further underlined this structural relationship (van Bruggen et al., 1980). The recently published subunit topology of this largest of all arthropod hemocyanins indeed confirmed its far-reaching homology with tarantula and scorpion hemocyanin (Lamy et al., 1983b). Hemocyanin subunit structure, and the evolution of spiders The striking conservatism of the 7 subunit/4 X 6 structure raised the question, what happened with Cupiennius to cause such a dramatic change in its design? To find an answer we attempted a broad survey including 40 species of spiders from 25 families (Markl et al., 1983, 1986a). Previous taxonomic schemes for the higher clas- sification of spiders at the family level have been based on adult morphology or be- havior, a topic on which there is currently substantial disagreement (Eberhard, 1982). H. W. Levi stated in 1978: "Spider classification at the present is in chaos." (Personal remark, cited in: R. F. Foelix. 1979. Biologie der Spinnen. Thieme, Stuttgart). To use spider hemocyanin as a taxonomic character should be advantageous, because in con- trast to most other tried characters the direction of its evolution seems clear: the 2 X 6-mer is a derivative of the 4 X 6-mer and not vice versa, because the 4 X 6-mer also occurs in other Chelicerata. According to current textbook taxonomy, the order of spiders (Aiapeae) contains four suborders: Mesothelae (which were not studied by us), Orthognatha (e.g., Eurypelma), Cribellata, and Labidognatha. The Labidognatha are further subdivided in Haplogynae (with simple sex organs) and Entelegynae (with complex sex organs). Cupiennius is an entelegyne spider. The four orthognath families studied all possess 4 X 6-mers with a subunit com- position corresponding to that of Eurypelma hemocyanin; a homologous structure which also occurs in seven entelegyne families (Fig. 4). Eleven other entelegyne families. HEMOCYANIN SUBUNITS IN ARTHROPODS 99 however, dispose of hemocyanins which are clearly homologous to that ofCupiennius (Fig. 4). Their extreme immunological similarity strongly supports the hypothesis that the last group is a natural, monophyletic taxon. We therefore propose to designate this taxon as "Neo-Entelegynae," and the remaining entelegyne spiders, denned by their 4X6 hemocyanin, as "Arch-Entelegynae" (Markl and Runzler, 1986). It was very interesting for us to detect in a cribellate spider an intermediate step in the transition from the 7-subunit to the 2-subunit particle: Filistata insidiatrix possesses only hexameric hemocyanin (This contradicts Wibo, 1966, who reported 4X6 hemocyanin for this species ). The patterns of crossed immunoelectrophoresis showed five subunit peaks (Fig. 4). Absent was heterodimer be, which makes the presence of only hexamers in this spider understandable: in Eurypelma californicum 4X6 hemocyanin, be forms a tetrameric core (Fig. 1), which in reassembly experiments was indispensable to exceed the hexamer level (van Bruggen et a!., 1980; Markl et ai, 1982). Amaurobius fenestralis, the second cribellate spider that we investigated, pos- sesses a 2 X 6 hemocyanin with the typical subunit composition of our Neo-Entelegynae (Fig. 4). Alternatively, the spider Uroctea durandi, which morphologically appears to be a very close relative of certain cribellate species (Kullmann and Zimmermann, 1976), belongs to our Arch-Entelegynae according to its hemocyanin structure. The Cribellata possess two unique devices: a typical spinning plate, the cribellum and, at their fourth pair of legs, a special comb to brush silk, the calamistrum. Because a repeated, independent evolution of these structures is highly improbable, most experts treat the Cribellata as a natural, monophyletic taxon (e.g., Bristowe, 1938; Levi, 1966; Lehtinen, 1967). However, the striking morphological similarity between various Cri- bellata and particular entelegyne species stimulated the idea that cribellate characters have been repeatedly and independently lost in spider evolution (Lehtinen, 1967). Our data strongly support this hypothesis, and indicate that at least all the Neo-En- telegynae, and probably the entire labidognath suborder, stem from cribellate progen- itors. Compared to the various schemes based on other characters, our results agree substantially with Lehtinen (1967, 1978), despite minor differences which predomi- nantly are refinements. The haplogyne spider Dysdera crocata possesses a hexameric hemocyanin like Filistata, but composed of only two different subunits in comparable proportions; immunologically they correspond to Eurypelma f and d (Fig. 4). The close relationship to Cupiennius hemocyanin is obvious; however, the specific structural role of subunit das hexamer linker (Markl, 1980) is not (yet?) established in Dysdera. Thus Dysdera, and probably the entire group of haplogyne spiders (although their monophyletic nature is doubted) are either late descendents of a neo-entelegyne spider family, or indeed have conserved molecular features of the transition phase between the two hemocyanins. It should be noted that Lehtinen (1967) postulated a close relationship between Filistatidae and Haplogynae, which supports the second assumption. Although presently we are unable to decide with lasting certainty, whether Filistata and Dysdera hemocyanin represent true "missing links," they can serve as evolutionary models. It may well be that an ancestral cribellate spider, for whatever reason, lost its ability to genetically express the heterodimer, and thus was restricted to hexameric hemocyanin with possibly drastic (though obviously not lethal!) negative consequences: drop of functional plasticity, increase of colloid osmotic pressure, and blood viscosity. In the descendents of this "genetic cripple," three more subunits (probably unnecessary to bring a hexamer to function) disappeared from the phenotype, and later a new mode of inter-hexamer bridging was invented. This was the starting signal for the evolution of a large variety of highly advanced trappers, hunters, and jumpers (Fig. 4). Whether this new hemocyanin, possibly the result of an evolutionary accident, conceals any functional advantage over the 4 X 6-mer remains an interesting, unanswered question. 100 J. MARKL RGURE 4. Phylogenetic tree of spiders as deduced from their hemocyanin subunit composition. Typical subunit patterns of crossed immunoelectrophoresis, and symbols for the respective native aggregation state (1 X 6, 2 X 6, 4 X 6) are shown. The 7 subunit/4 x 6-mer occurs throughout the Orthognatha and, im- munologically somewhat different though doubtlessly related, in 7 labidognath families, which cover orb- weavers and other stationary trionychan (= three-clawed) species. The 2 subunit/2 X 6-mer is typical for another 1 1 labidognath families, including besides some net spiders (Agelenidae) a large variety of free hunters: lurking seizers, sudden jumpers, and tenacious runners. Due to the extremely close immunological relatedness of the subunits of all 2 X 6-mers, these three-clawed (Trionycha) and two-clawed (Dionycha) spiders most probably represent a monophyletic taxon. The transition of 4 X 6 in 2 X 6 hemocyanin is conserved, or at least modeled, within the cribellate family Filistatidae (Filistata insidiatrix) and the haplogyne family Dysderidae (Dysdera crocata), which both possess 1 X 6 hemocyanin, but with a different subunit composition. Note that Filistata hemocyanin lacks subunit be which in Eurypelma californicum reassembly experiments was indispensable to exceed the 1 X 6 level (Markl el al. 1982). A second cribellate spider, Amaurobius fenestralis, possesses 2x6 hemocyanin. According to our data, Labidognatha and Cribellata are not separable, but represent phylogenetically intersecting, nested groups. Entelegynae is a polyphyletic taxon, containing two natural groups, which are disconnected by a haplogyne/cribellate cluster. We have therefore proposed to substitute "Entelegynae" for two new monophyletic terms, namely "Arch-Entelegynae" and "Neo-Entelegynae" (Markl and Runzler, HEMOCYANIN SUBUNITS IN ARTHROPODS 101 The sea spiders a phylogenetic mystery? Besides the aquatic xiphosurans and the terrestrial arachnids, in current taxonomy the subphylum Chelicerata includes as a third class the marine sea spiders (Pycnogonida = Pantopoda), although the phylogenetic position of these indeed spider-like, often incredibly tiny animals is uncertain. Among experts it is still debated whether they are arachnids, non-arachnidan chelicerates, or a completely independent arthropod subphylum (Bergstrom et al, 1980). Also remarkably, they have no respiratory or- gans very unusual among arthropods, especially aquatic species, in which cutaneous gas exchange is blocked by an impermeable exoskeleton. Hoping to detect a phylo- genetically interesting new version of the blue protein, we have studied the minute Nymphon sp. from the North Sea and the huge Antarctic Colossendeis sp. (Markl et al., 1986a; and unpub. data). Unfortunately, polyacrylamide electrophoresis of their blood yielded no trace of hemocyanin-like protein chains. Earlier, Redmond and Swanson (1968) reported that spectral-absorption curves of the blood of another giant Antarctic sea spider, Ammothea striata, showed no evidence of a blood respiratory pigment. Nymphon with its size below 1 cm, and body and extremities as thin as threads, is probably qualified for cutaneous gas exchange. However, the absence of an oxygen carrier in Colossendeis and Ammothea, which both exceed in size a large tropical spider, but live in the oxygen-poor aquatic envi- ronment, is surprising. On the other hand, many cold-blooded animals found in polar seas lack respiratory pigments because of the high oxygen solubility in icy-cold body fluids. Instead of hemocyanin as desired, in both species we observed electrophoretically two prominent polypeptide chains with molecular masses around 1 10,000 the typical range of the second major blood protein of spiders and other arachnids (left insert in Fig. 2). This protein was described by us in earlier studies and designated as a "non- respiratory protein" (Markl et al., 1976, 1979b; Linzen et al., 1977). In case of the tarantula Eurypelma californicum, it was recently further characterized as lipoprotein associated with a carbonic anhydrase (Stratakis and Linzen, 1984). By immuno blotting, indeed a structural relationship between the non-respiratory protein of the tarantula, and the pycnogonid protein was shown (Markl et al, 1986a). According to the available data this protein is restricted to scorpions, whip scorpions, whip spiders, and spiders, and was detected in neither xiphosuran nor crustacean blood; non-respiratory blood proteins of those two groups are composed of considerably smaller polypeptide chains (Markl et al., 1979b, c). Thus, the occurrence of this protein is a good argument in favor of a close phylogenetic relationship between the sea spiders and the arachnids. SUBUNIT DIVERSITY IN CRUSTACEAN HEMOCYANINS At least 600 million years ago, the branch leading to the Chelicerata was separated from the line leading to the Crustacea (Tiegs and Manton, 1958; Schram, 1982). Since today both groups have hemocyanins based on a hexameric architecture, this hemo- 1986). Our results agree in principal with the evolution scheme of Lehtinen (1967), which is based on morphological characters. The figure was slightly modified from Markl et al. (1986a). The following species were employed: Agelena labvrinthica, Amaurobius fenestralis, Araneus diadematus, Araneus umbriaticus, Argiope aurantia, Argiope bruennichi, Atrax formidabilis, Atypus affinis, Callilepis nocturna, Chiracanthium elegans.

Thus it was of considerable interest to study the subunit composition of crustacean hemocyanins, which are com- monly 1 X 6 or 2 X 6 aggregates (the only known exception are the thalassinid shrimps, which possess a tetrahedrical 4 X 6-mer: Miller et ai, 1977; van Bruggen, 1983). We applied high resolution electrophoresis techniques, and revealed complex patterns of subunit heterogeneity in various crustacean hemocyanins: between three and eight distinct polypeptides were detected throughout (Markl et al, 1978, 1979c). It was impossible, however, to recognize a common scheme except for the fact that in 2 X 6- mers the heterogeneity was somewhat more excessive than in native single hexamers. To monitor evolutionary trends, we needed a tool to sort all these subunits into groups of similar function. Because protein function is a matter of surface structure, the tool employed was immunochemistry: each antibody is specifically directed against a fragment of the protein surface, and refuses binding if this epitope is altered. The outcome of a comparative immunochemical analysis of 4 1 crustacean hemocyanins is described below. Subunit composition of 2 X 6 hemocyanins from brachyuran crabs The typical hemocyanin of a brachyuran crab, like the blue crab Callinectes sapidus, or the green shore crab Carcinus maenas, is a 2 X 6-mer, composed of two immu- nologically discernible subunit fractions (Rochu and Fine, 1980; Markl and Kempter, 198 la, b; Ghidalia et al., 1985). We have designated them as alpha and beta (Fig. 5). Beta is immunologically unrelated to alpha, which indicates substantial differences in function. Alpha subunits from different crab species are immunologically similar; they remained relatively unchanged after the worldwide radiation of the Brachyura, and therefore were classified by us as "phylogenetically conservative." In a striking contrast, beta subunits differ greatly immunologically among the species, and therefore were classified as "phylogenetically variable" (Markl and Kempter, 198 la). Obviously, dur- ing crab evolution, these two subunit types endured very different selection pressures, which again indicates fundamental differences in function. All in all, we studied 32 species covering a broad environmental and activity range, from shallow water, intertidal, fresh water, and land, and from most agile to rather clumsy (Markl and Kempter, 1981b; Markl et al, 1986a). The representatives of 10 out of 1 1 crab families possessed alpha and beta subunits (Fig. 5), regardless of how diverse their subunit patterns were electrophoretically. Many Brachyura also have a third hemocyanin subunit, designated as gamma. Gamma appears to be a late off- spring of alpha, because their immunological reactions are similar. The only exception from this general scheme was detected in the family Ocypo- didae: the hemocyanins of a fiddler crab ( Uca urvillei) and of three species of ghost crabs (Genus Ocypode} are exclusively composed of alpha subunits (Fig. 5). It was very interesting to detect that Uca hemocyanin particles are only single hexamers, which indicates that the absence of beta may be correlated with a restriction to the hexameric level. However, much to our surprise, all three Ocypode species possess mainly : ( 6-meric hemocyanin (Stocker, 1984; Markl et al., 1986a; B. Johnson, pers. cor :-m.), In contrast to Uca, Ocypode hemocyanin contains two electrophoretically distinct alpha isozymes (Fig. 5). The cathodic of these immunologically identical pro- teins migrates in the range of beta, but carries no beta-typical antigen determinants. One could assume that the situation within the Ocypodidae mirrors an ancient trend, leading from single alpha hexamers via alpha/alpha 2 X 6-mers to alpha/beta 2X6- mers. However since among the Brachyura, Uca and Ocypode belong to a rather specialized family, other possibilities had to be considered as well. To clarify this point we had to answer the question of whether beta is an invention of the comparatively modern crabs.

Brachyuran crabs arranged according to their hemocyanin subunit composition as analyzed by crossed immunoelectrophoresis. The native aggregation states (1 x 6, 2 X 6) are symbolized. Immuno- logically corresponding subunits are identically designated. It should be noted that immunologically ho- mogeneous subunit peaks may contain several electrophoretically separated isozymes. Thus, the electrophoretic heterogeneity is generally higher than indicated here (for review: Linzen, 1983). The tropical species were collected on the Malayan Peninsula. The animals cover a broad environmental range from fairly constant to permanently varying marine milieus, from icy to tropic temperatures, and through all stages of land-life: dependent on moist burrows during lowtide (Etisits), sun-exposed on rocks (Plagusia), in cold freshwater falls (Phricothelphusa), in warm stuffy rice fields (Somanniathelphusa), in mangrove mud (Scylla), in soil burrows (Cardisoma), in palmtree forests (Gecarcoidea), on hot sandy beaches (Ocypode). The smallest (Cymo) had a carapace width of less than 2 cm, the largest (Scylla) of more than 20 cm. Their activities range from clumsy dwelling (Dromia), slow rambling (Hyas), hectic rowing (Matuta), tenacious waving ( Uca), fast swimming (Charybdis), swift walking (Carcinus), and sudden jumping (Grapsus), to extremely speedy sand running (Ocypode). The figure is taken from Markl et a/. ( 1986a). Spiny lobster 1X6 hemocyanin a possible predecessor? According to convincing palaeontological records the brachyuran crabs, the latest appearing decapod group, evolved from ancestors related to spiny lobsters (Schram, 1982). Interestingly, spiny lobsters possess 1 X 6 hemocyanin. We investigated the European species Palinurus vulgaris, and its American relative Pamdirus interruptus (Markl et ai, 1979c, 1983, 1986a; Stocker, 1984). Their hemocyanins are composed of an immunologically homogeneous subunit fraction, which corresponds to brach- yuran alpha (Fig. 6). Panulirus hemocyanin contains a second, cathodic subunit in 104 J. MARKL addition (designated as c by Neuteboom et al, 1986) which, to a certain degree, is immunologically related to alpha. Beta-typical antigen determinants were not detected. This is consistent with our definition of the behavior of a gamma subunit, and the component was designated accordingly, although we have no further evidence that Panulirus and brachyuran gamma components are really homologous. From its subunit composition, the heniocyanin of a scyllarid (Scyllarus arctus), a close relative of spiny lobsters, fits we)' into the scheme (Fig. 6); however, surprisingly it forms 2X6 particles (unpub.). Although the phylogeny of subunit beta, and also the structural requirements for a 2 X 6 formation remained unclear, the situation found within the Palinura at least further supported the hypothesis that alpha subunits were the basic hexamer formers. Hemocyanins from lobsters, freshwater crayfishes, and shrimps Geological strata document that, when the first Brachyura appeared 200 million years ago (their great radiation started 140 million years later upon a worldwide for- mation of shallow water seas), the Astacura were already established (Schram, 1982). Astacura also possess 2X6 hemocyanin. In the case of the European freshwater crayfish Astacus leptodactylus it is composed of four distinct subunits: a disulfide bridged dimer and three monomers (MarkI et al., 1979c; Pilz et al., 1980; Markl and Kempter, 1981b). Without major difficulties, the dimer and two of the three monomers could be assigned to the alpha/gamma cluster of the Brachyura (Fig. 6). Again, the conservative nature of alpha-typical antigen determinants was confirmed (Stocker, 1984; Markl et al., 1986a). What remained was the question of a possible relationship between the third Astacus monomer and brachyuran beta. By crossed immunoelectrophoresis, anti-Astacus antiserum did not precipitate Cancer pagur us beta, and vice versa. There- fore, for a comparison of structurally distant antigens we applied the immuno blotting technique, which is more efficient. This sensitive method revealed that anli-Astacus antibodies specific for the third monomeric subunit preferentially bind to brachyuran beta and vice versa, whereas alpha components are only weakly recognized (Markl et al., 1986a). Comparable data stem from the 2X6 hemocyanin of the lobster Homarus americanus, although in this case the alpha fraction was immunologically homogeneous and no dimer was present; therefore we could not define a subunit alpha' in this animal (Fig. 6). Hemocyanin from another decapod, the caridean shrimp Palaemon elegans, contains only alpha and gamma subunits (Stocker, 1984; Markl et al., 1986a); however, its native aggregation level is 1 X 6 (Fig. 6)! These results indicated: first, beta is not an invention of the Brachyura, but phylogenetically considerably older, and second, the presence of beta is correlated with the appearance of 2 X 6 particles. The second conclusion is implicated by the exceptions Ocypode and Scyllarus, which will be dis- cussed below. It should be noted that in shrimps and crayfishes, gamma subunits are only defined according to their close relationship with alpha subunits; in contrast to alpha and beta, the homology of astacuran or caridean gamma with the respective palinuran and brachyuran components is uncertain. Gamma could have evolved independently from alpha several times. The origin of subunit beta It was found recently that 2X6 hemocyanin also occurs in a fourth decapodan group, namely the Anomura (Stocker, 1984; Markl et al, 1986a). Surprisingly, despite a marked electrophoretic heterogeneity, the subunits of 2 X 6 hemocyanins from a galatheid shrimp (Galathea squamiferd), a hermit crab (Pagurus bernhardus), and the coconut crab (Birgus latro) were immunologically completely homogeneous (Fig. 6).

The distribution of immunologically corresponding hemocyanin subunits among the Crus- tacea. The various subunit patterns of crossed immunoelectrophoresis are shown, and the native aggregation states (1 X 6, 2 X 6) are indicated. It appears that decapodan hemocyanins evolved from an ancient alpha hexamer; the first step was the invention of beta-typical antigen determinants (arrow), which is correlated with the occurrence of 2 X 6 aggregates. Beta was repeatedly lost in later appearing groups (Caridea, Palinura, Uca/Ocypode). All alpha subunits are homologous proteins as are all beta subunits. Gamma differs, however: except for their partial identity with alpha, we were unable to identify typical immune reactions which interpose between more distant gamma subunits. Thus, rather than being homologous, they could represent convergent offsprings of different alpha progenitors. It should be noted that our results, although useful in explaining the phylogenetic coherence between the various subunits, in most cases are insufficient to refine the current phylogenetic tree derived from morphological characters and palaeontological records (Schram, 1982), which is the basis for this scheme. As an exception, our data strongly support an early branch of the Anomura as indicated, which was not derived from classical approaches. The figure was modified from Markl el al. (1986a). 106 J- MARKL Thus, in terms of immunochemistry, only one single subunit type is present. We obtained clear immunologica! cross-reactions with brachyuran and astacuran alpha but also, and this was the second surprise, with astacuran (not with brachyuran!) beta. The common presence of alpha- and beta-typical antigen determinants on a single subunit cannot be explained as the result of a gene fusion, because the size of the anomuran polypeptide chains is quite within the expected range (Mr - 76,000-83,000). Provided that hemocyanin genes are arranged in a single cluster, one could expect a current rearrangement by unequal crossing-over, which may well explain the anomuran result. However, the marked divergence between alpha and beta in crabs and crayfishes strongly indicates the existence of two different gene clusters like, for example, the case with the mammalian globin genes. It is therefore much more likely to assume that in the Anomura the blue protein has preserved an ancient feature, and that in later appearing species, alpha and beta antigen determinants have been separated by the independent evolution of isozymes. This strongly suggests that the evolution of the decapod 2 X 6-mer indeed began with the appearance of subunit beta, although later beta was repeatedly lost (Palinura, Caridea, Ocypodidae). This, however, was not necessarily tantamount to a permanent restriction to the hexameric level, because alternative, beta-free modes of 2 X 6-mer formation evolved in specialized groups (Ocypode, Scyllarus). Krill and isopod 1X6 hemocyanin: models of an ancient design We tried to demonstrate this by examining the situation outside of the Decapoda. The widespread hemocyanin aggregate of the other Malacostraca is the 1 X 6-mer, which we studied from the Antarctic krill Euphausia superba and from the giant deep sea isopod Bathynornus giganteus (Fig. 6). The subunits of both proteins exhibited a completely homogeneous peak in crossed immunoelectrophoresis, and corresponded immunologically to subunit alpha of decapodan hemocyanins. Thus, those 1 X 6- mers are entirely composed of alpha subunits (Fig. 1; the different information of Markl el al, 1983, was due to denaturation). It appears, moreover, that Euphausia hemocyanin has maintained a considerably ancient surface structure: by immuno- electrophoresis, it was the only crustacean hemocyanin which could be precipitated (in its oligomeric form not as subunits: see below) by an antiserum raised against tarantula hemocyanin (Van Holde and Brenowitz, 1981; M. Brenowitz, pers. comm.; Stocker, 1984; Markl et al., 1986a, and unpub. data). This definitely showed that, in arthropods, alpha-typical antigen determinants form the ancestral design of the blue protein's surface. Mirrors larval crab hemocyanin the blue protein 's evolution? The subunit composition of crab hemocyanins have endured ontogenetic changes (Terwilliger and Terwilliger, 1982). We therefore studied various larval stages of the spider crab Hyas araneus and the shore crab Carcinus maenas. Hemocyanin from the planktonic zoea, and from the benthonic megalops of both species was composed of a single subunit type, which clearly cross-reacted with adult alpha subunits (Markl et al., 1986a), although electrophoretically it behaved somewhat differently. The native aggregation level of those larval hemocyanins is mainly hexameric, but also 2X6- mers have been observed in the electron microscope (unpub.). Thus, the loss of subunit beta in the evolution of some decapoda, and an alternative mode of 2 X 6-mer for- mation (Ocyi ode, Scyllarus), could have occurred to preserve larval characters. Recently, we have further monitored the following events in Carcinus maenas: after metamorphosis, during the following molting cycles subunit beta appears, al- though its proportion in the first juvenile crab is still rather low. 2X6 hemocyanin particles can be seen in the electron microscope, but the main aggregation level is still HEMOCYANIN SUBUNITS IN ARTHROPODS 107 hexameric. The second juvenile crab clearly contains mostly 2X6 hemocyanin with a considerable proportion of subunit beta. Subunit gamma appears several stages later when the carapace measures 1 2 mm in width. The typical, stoichiometrically correct subunit pattern of the adults is established when the carapace width measures 22 mm or more (L. E. Precht, B. Steiff, and J. Markl, unpub. data). It is interesting that not only phylogenetically, but also ontogenically, alpha subunits appear first. Also our above presumption that gamma may be a rather late evolutionary product is mirrored in ontogenesis. A model of crustacean 2X6 hemocyanins The results described above indicate that particular subunits play distinct roles in the formation of 2 X 6 structures. This was closely investigated in two astacuran and two brachyuran species. The overall morphology of these particles, especially the one- point contact between the two hexamers as shown in Figure 1, is described by van Bruggen (1983). Reassembly experiments with isolated subunits alpha, beta, or gamma of the 2 X 6 hemocyanins from the crayfishes Astacus leptodactylus and Homarus americanus, and from the crabs Cancer pagitrus and Callinectes sapidus showed that in most of the cases, homo-hexamers can be formed (Markl and Kempter, 198 la; Stocker et al., 1986). However, all three immunologically defined classes of subunits are required to reach the 2X6 level (Stocker et al., 1986). Immunologically identical isozymes are in some cases capable of substituting for each other, especially in Homarus and Callinectes. Heptameric segments of native 2 X 6-mers were observed in Astacus, whereas the 2X6 particles of crabs and Homarus dissociate via hexamers (Markl et al., 198 Ic). The inter-hexamer bridge was identified in the case of Astacus and Cancer. Surprisingly the bridge is not formed by subunit beta as expected. In Cancer a particular alpha isozyme (designated as alpha') has a tendency to dimerize, and connects the two hexamers (Markl et al., 1983). Correspondingly, in Astacus the disulfide-bridged dimer is a correlate of alpha. This makes the existence of beta-free 2X6 structures as present in Ocypode, Scyllarus, and in larval crabs, at least structurally understandable. It should also be noted that 2X6 hemocyanins were reported for two species outside of the Decapoda: the isopod Ligia pallasii, and the stomatopod Sqnilla mantis (Ter- williger, 1982; van Bruggen, 1983). From our data described above, we would expect a beta-free mode of 2 X 6 formation also in those hemocyanins. Our next step was to analyze the respective subunit stoichiometries. Finally, labeling of the dodecamers with subunit-specific antibody fragments, or with intact antibody molecules, and observation of the resulting complexes in the electron microscope led to a uniform topological model (Fig. 1). It shows that one dimer alpha'-alpha' and four copies of beta form a central cluster. Although beta may not be involved directly in the bridge, these four subunits are clearly in the topographical position to play a functional key-role. One alpha occupies the extreme outer edge of each hexamer, and four copies of gamma fill the periphery (Stocker et al., 1986). Though a preliminary topological model of a crustacean 2X6 hemocyanin was already published by Jeffrey (1979), this is the first detailed conception of its architecture. The connection to the cheliceratan subphylum We were particularly interested in detecting immunological relationships between crustacean hemocyanin subunits and those from the Chelicerata. By immunoelectro- phoresis, a precipitation of crustacean hemocyanins with an anti-chelicerate antiserum, or vice versa, was only successful if the hemocyanin was either present in its oligomeric form (see above: Euphausia), or denatured in 8 M urea (Stocker, 1984). Therefore, we performed immuno blotting experiments with electrophoretic patterns of native hemocyanin subunits from the horseshoe crab Limuhis, the scorpion Androctonus, the tarantula Eurypelma, and the hunting spider Cupiennius against anti-alpha antisera 108 J. MARKL from crustaceans. In each case, the total set of chelicerate subunits was recognized (Markl et al, 1986a). Anti-beta and anti-gamma antisera give similar, but much weaker reactions. As judged semiquaniJtatively, chelicerate subunits related to Eurypelma a, d, and /are recognized best. This is illustrated in the right insert of Figure 2. It should be interesting to analyze comparatively the 6 X 6 hemocyanin of the myriapod Scutigera coleoptrata described by Mangum et al. (1985). Our results do not mean that there is one particular chelicerate subunit which corresponds to alpha, and another subunit which corresponds to beta; those specializations are certainly late developments. We showed that despite their impressive diversity in recent species, the hemocyanin sub- units of all arthropods have maintained to a different extent some common an- cient surface structures. These features were inherited, unchanged, over at least 600 million years! INTERACTION OF SUBUNITS IN THE OXYGEN BINDING PROCESS Recently, several complete amino acid sequences of chelicerate and crustacean hemocyanin subunits were published, the structure of the active copper-site was further elucidated, the conformation of a crustacean 1 X 6-mer was studied in a 3.2 Angstrom resolution, and the topologic models of Limulus and Androctonus hemocyanin were considerably refined (Solomon, 1981; Sizaret et al., 1982; Schartau et al., 1983; Schneider et al., 1983; Eyerie and Schartau, 1985; Gaykema et al., 1985; Lamy et al., 1985; Linzen et al., 1985). This information, in the context of the results described here, has demystified, to a considerable degree, the architecture and the evolution of arthropod hemocyanins. Moreover, a wealth of data exists on their function as oxygen carriers (e.g., Van Holde and van Bruggen, 1971; Bonaventura and Bonaventura, 1980; Mangum, 1980, 1983, 1985; Van Holde and Miller, 1982; Antonini et al., 1983; Bridges et al, 1983; Ellerton et al, 1983). However, the processes which determine the typical oxygen binding, and the specific contribution of each subunit type, are still obscure. Presently, Eurypelma californicum hemocyanin is the best understood example. The 4 X 6-mer in action, and the abilities of isolated subunits Hemocyanin from the tarantula Eurypelma californicum is characterized by a relatively low oxygen affinity, a strong normal Bohr effect (= pH sensitivity of oxygen affinity), and an extreme cooperativity (sigmoidity of the oxygen binding curve); ad- ditionally, the cooperativity depends considerably on pH (Fig. 7). Upon direct mea- surements of blood pH and blood P 02 in different tissues during exercise and rest, these properties can be interpreted as highly adaptive with respect to the animal's environment, behavior, and physiology. (Linzen et al, 1977; Loewe, 1978; Angersbach, 1978; Decker^ al, 1983a,b;Fincketfa/., 1986; Paul, 1986). In contrast, as illustrated in Figure 7, isolated subunits are non-cooperative (hyperbolic binding curve), show a high oxygen affinity, and indicate a complete absence of any Bohr effect. All seven subunits, studied individually, behaved rather uniformly in those aspects (Decker et al, 1979: Markl et al, 198 Ib, e). Thus, the 4 X 6-mer acts as a system; all its vital abilities are qualitatively new and unexpected, and cannot be predicted from the prop- erties of the subunits. The systemic characters are created by an interaction of the 24 constituents. With subunits in the blood instead of 4 X 6 particles, the animals could impossibly survive. An interesting question was now, at what structural level the re- spective function occurs? Events within and beyond the native 1X6 fragment Tarantula hemocyanin again was an exceptionally useful molecule, because the four oligomeric dissociation fragments described above (Fig. 3) could be stabilized in their respective structure over a broad pH range a fundamental requirement for a HEMOCYANIN SUBUN1TS IN ARTHROPODS 109 half - saturation oxygen pressu re (Pso) 8.0 cooperativity ( n 50 ) FIGURE 7. Illustration of the functional plasticity of native 4 X 6-meric hemocyanin of the tarantula Eurypelma califomicum, compared to the functional inflexibility, and the very different behavior, of the isolated subunits. Subunits (small black areas) show a low p50 around 5 mm Hg, a high oxygen affinity. This behavior is independent of pH (= no Bohr effect). Moreover, they are non-cooperative (hyperbolic oxygen binding curve: n50 = 1). All subunits behave similarly (Decker et al. 1979; Mark! et ai, 1981e). In contrast, the 4 x 6-mer (large white rectangles) shows p50 values up to 30 mm Hg (at pH 7.5), or low oxygen affinities. Moreover, it exhibits impressive cooperativities (sigmoid oxygen binding curves); the maximum at pH 8.0 goes up to n50 = 8 and more. Oxygen affinity, and also cooperativity, are both strongly pH dependent (Loewe, 1978), which is highly adaptive with respect to the animal's physiology and behavior (Angersbach, 1978). We recently detected that, although the natural resting blood pH of the tarantula is 7.5 (Angersbach, 1978), the in vivo behavior of the 4 X 6-mer should be like that illustrated here for pH 8.0; calcium and magnesium ions in native concentrations (4 mAl each) modulate the function correspondingly (B. Markl and J. Markl, unpub.). All in all, this aggregate of 24 functionally limited components displays completely novel physiological properties. These systemic characters are created by subunit interaction phenomena, and cannot be predicted from the behavior of the isolated subunits. To study the molecular organization of those interactions, one attempt is to analyze the abilities of oligomeric dissociation fragments (Savel et al., 1983, 1986); for example in the 1 x 6 quarter-structure (areas on the left of the dashed lines), the 4 X 6-mer's oxygen affinity is already fully established, but cooperativity reaches only 'A of the final values. Another attempt is to analyze reassembled 4 x 6-mers which have a chemically modified subunit incorporated. Modification was done, for example, with mercury(II) ions. A treatment of the whole molecule blocks the interaction processes entirely: the morphologically intact 4 X 6-mer functions like isolated subunits (Markl et al., 1986b). Hemocyanins composed of one mercury-labeled and six unmodified subunit types show a reduced functional plasticity (spotted areas), which is believed to be due to the encoupling of the modified subunit from the interaction processes (Markl et al., 1986b). detailed comparison of their function. Another chelicerate, Limulus polyphemus, un- fortunately could not fulfill this demand (Brenowitz et al., 1984). In contrast, 1 X 6 hemocyanin fragments of certain crustaceans, like the lobster Homarus americanus, the thalassinid shrimp Callianassa californiensis, and in the mangrove crab Scylla serrata, are stable (Tai and Kegeles, 1971; Arisaka and Van Holde, 1979; Herskovits et al., 1983; Decker et ai, 1986a). An oxygen binding analysis of the isolated quarter-structure (1 X 6-mer) of Eu- rypelma hemocyanin revealed that already on this level, the typical oxygen affinity and the full Bohr effect of the 4 X 6-mer are established; however, cooperativity reaches only 25% of the native value (Fig. 7; Savel et al., 1983). The heptamer equals the hexamer in these properties, but in the half-molecule (2 X 6-mer) cooperativity abruptly 110 J. MARKL rose to 50% of the end value. The 19-meric fragment provides no further enhancement; for the jump to 100% the entire 4 X 6-mer was required (Savel et al, 1986). These results are consistent with a recently introduced theoretical description of the oxygen binding process, the so-called "nesting model," an extension of the classical "MWC" model (Decker et a!., I986b). This new model is based on the idea of Wyman (1984) that cooperative oxygen binding manifests itself by a hierarchy of nested allosteric units a theoretical approach which was experimentally proved here not only for the first hemocyanin, but generally for the first allosteric macromolecule. Moreover it was interesting that the ultimate creator of all studied systemic characters is indeed the hexamer; the higher structural levels only quantitatively improve effects. Installed subunits act as amplifiers and transmitters We have started to characterize specific roles of the various subunits in the overall oxygen binding process, because their uniformity in the isolated state does not nec- essarily mean that they behave identically when incorporated in the 4X6 particle. Our current project deals with the analysis of reassembled 4 X 6-mers which have one chemically modified subunit type. First, we had to establish the gentle immuno affinity chromatography for subunit purification to prevent the loss of important aspects of function due to uncontrolled protein damage later in the reassembled molecules. We have already analyzed reassembly products with incorporated "apo-subunits" (copper-free), or "met-subunits" (copper oxydized), but most of our data stem from experiments with "mercury-subunits": Mercury(II) ions undialyzably bind to tarantula hemocyanin in an amount of 1-2 atoms per subunit. The effect of a mercury treatment of the whole 4 X 6-mer is dramatic: it is still a 4 X 6-mer, and still binds oxygen, but the binding properties correspond to those of single subunits (Markl et al., 1986b). This means that all subunit interactions are totally blocked. Comparable behavior is exhibited by Limulus polyphemus and Callinectes sapidus hemocyanin (Brouwer et al., 1983). Correspondingly, the treatment of a subunit with mercury, followed by its reincorporation into the 4 X 6-mer, should result in an uncoupling of the interaction processes. In such experiments indeed in the case of all subunits, alterations of oxygen affinity, cooperativity, and Bohr effect were monitored (Fig. 7). According to the data, a relatively uniform role as amplifiers can be ascribed to the various monomeric sub- units. Heterodimer be also amplifies, and additionally seems to function as a molecular transmitter between the four hexamers (Markl et al., 1 986b). This is the first information about the specific contribution of individual subunit types to the allostery of any one hemocyanin molecule. FUTURE ASPECTS Despite our new understanding of the structure, function, and evolution of subunit diversity in arthropod hemocyanins, there remain many challenging questions. For example, tarantula hemocyanin displays its cooperativity maximum at pH 8.0, but the resting blood pH of the animal as measured in vivo is 7.5, and drops to 7.0 after activity (Angersbach, 1978; Loewe, 1978). In this range, however, cooperativity does not convincingly exceed the level already achieved (at least at pH 8.0) by the isolated 1X6 Ler-structure (Fig. 7). For what reason does a complicated, ^-controlled interaction \ sf ween the four hexamers actually exist, if it is not, or not fully, utilized by the anims Very recently, we discovered that the whole problem was due to our incomplete knowledge of the actual situation: calcium and magnesium ions in their native blood concentrations (4 mAf each: Schartau and Leidescher, 1983) enhance, at pH 7.5, operativity to the maximum level (B. Markl and J. Markl, unpub.). It should therefore be interesting to investigate the influence of these ions, and of other modulators, on particular subunits. Other important problems related to subunit diversity are the biological significance of changes in subunit composition while crustaceans adapt to different environments HEMOCYANIN SUBUNITS IN ARTHROPODS 1 1 1 (Mason el al., 1983), the significance of ontogenetic changes, the significance of the interspecific variability of subunit beta, and similar projects. Another open field is the observation of conformational changes in certain subunits during oxygen binding, which presently is being attempted in our laboratory using fluorecent probes (Leidescher and Linzen, 1986). Although hemocyanin c-DNA already could be cloned, and se- quenced (Voit and Schneider, 1986), the cytoplasmatic events in the hemocyanin synthesizing cells are still unknown. Those "cyanocytes" (Fahrenbach, 1970) proliferate in crabs from lymphocytogenic nodules in the outer gizzard wall and in spiders from the inner heart wall (Ghiretti et al., 1977; Kempter, 1983). One of our most important goals is to delve into the cyanocytes, to analyze the location, structure, and organization of hemocyanin genes, which are still entirely concealed, and to reveal how the expres- sion of the diverse subunits is regulated.

(August, 1986) A SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC STUDY OF EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT OF A MARINE HYDROZOAN V1CK1 J. MARTIN AND WILLIAM E. ARCHER Department of Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana 46556 ABSTRACT An indepth three-dimensional investigation examined the surface morphological changes associated with the development of a typical marine hydrozoan early cleavage embryo into a mature planula larva. During hydrozoan embryogenesis the arrangement and distribution of surface microvilli change; cilia of some epitheliomuscle cells appear before embryos gastrulate; and the embryo undergoes dramatic changes in body shape. Early cleaving embryos are bizarre in morphology, however, by the end of late cleavage the embryos have rounded to form a sphere. Gastrulation is characterized by the appearance of a blastopore at the future posterior end of the planula and by the migration of cells over the margins of the blastopore to the inside of the embryo. The product of gastrulation is a young planula which elongates and decreases in overall diameter to form a mature planula that eventually attaches via its anterior end to a substrate and undergoes metamorphosis. INTRODUCTION The cnidarians display a simple architecture and exhibit exceptional morphogenetic plasticity and adaptability. The phylum is unusual in that its postembryonic devel- opment has been much more thoroughly studied than its embryogenesis. Most previous investigations of cnidarian embryogenesis have concentrated on the internal mor- phology of the planula larva. These studies primarily utilized the techniques of light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (Martin and Thomas, 1977, 1980, 198 la, b, 1983a; Martin and Chia, 1982; Martin et ai, 1983; Walch el al, 1986). Hotchkiss et al. (1984) used a scanning electron microscopic cryofracture technique to examine both the surface morphology and the internal morphology of a hydrozoan planula and attempted to correlate their findings with other studies employing trans- mission electron microscopy. Although the previous work on planulae has contributed valuable information concerning the morphology of the larval form of the cnidarians, major gaps still exist in our basic knowledge of early development in this lower animal phylum. As a result of this lack of information, the following scanning electron mi- croscopic study was undertaken to examine the surface morphological changes asso- ciated with the development of a typical marine hydrozoan early cleavage embryo into a mature planula. Such an indepth three-dimensional investigation of the cnidarian embryonic life cycle has never been done. This study provides important information concerning the external morphological changes of embryos during their development and sheds some insight into the morphogenetic shaping of the hydrozoan planula. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mature colonies of the marine hydrozoan Pennaria tiarella (McCrady) were col- lected from pier pilings at the North Carolina Institute of Marine Sciences, Morehead Received 18 February 1986; accepted 28 May 1986. 116 SEM OF A HYDROZOAN 1 1 7 City, North Carolina. Fronds from mature male and female colonies were placed together in large finger bowls of filtered seawater. Bowls were placed in the dark at 6:00 p.m., and at 9:00 p.m. they were returned to the light. Embryos in early cleavage stages were observed in the bottoms of the dishes. These embryos were transferred to small dishes of filtered seawater and reared at 23C to various developmental ages (Table I). Early cleavage embryos (2-4 hours old), late cleavage embryos (6 hours old), 8-hour embryos (gastrulae), and 10-, 36-, and 48-hour planulae were prepared for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Animals were fixed for 1 hour in 2.5% glutar- aldehyde, pH 7.4, in 0.2 M phosphate buffer. They were postfixed for 1 hour in 2% osmium tetroxide in 1.25% sodium bicarbonate, pH 7.2. Samples were dehydrated through a graded series of ethanols and then critical point dried from CO 2 using a Denton critical point dryer equipped with a Tousimis liquid CO 2 water/particulate filter. Animals were coated with gold palladium in a Denton sputter coater. Stubs were examined with a JEOL JSM-T300 SEM operated at 15 kV. Individual cell types were identified according to developmental age of the embryo and surface specializa- tions as previously described in transmission electron microscopic studies (Martin and Thomas, 1977, 1980, 198 la, b). Embryos undergoing gastrulation were contin- uously examined under a Zeiss light microscope until immature 10-hour planulae were formed. RESULTS Cleavage in Pennaria tiarella embryos is holoblastic, unequal, and asynchronous (Figs. 1-4) (Martin and Thomas, 1977). The random cleavage pattern results in the formation of blastomeres of unequal size. A period of early cleavage extends from 2 hours postfertilization to the beginning of 6 hours postfertilization. During this time no one embryo cleaves in exactly the same fashion and the embryos exhibit numerous bizarre shapes and reach the 128-256 cell stage (Figs. 1, 2). Early cleavage blastomeres have numerous cytoplasmic blebs extending from their surfaces (Fig. 3). These blebs are transient and disappear in the later cleavage stages. Microvilli arranged in distinct patches project from the surface of each blastomere (Fig. 5). The tips of microvilli in each clump appear to come together at their apical ends to form a point. Early cleavage is very rapid and by 6 to 8 hours postfertilization a solid blastula (late cleavage) is formed (Fig. 6). The blastomeres are more uniform in size than during early cleavage and the embryo assumes the shape of a sphere. The embryo measures ca. 230 yum in diameter. During this stage a few cilia appear which are associated with the blastomeres that will give rise to the epitheliomuscle cells of the young planula (Fig. 7). By the end of 6 hours postfertilization the large blebs found in association with the early cleavage blastomeres have disappeared and a mucous-like sheath is seen covering parts of the surface of the late cleaving embryo (Figs. 6, 7). The microvilli of the late cleavage stage are shorter than those seen in earlier stages and are organized into clumps which are not as distinct as in earlier stages (Fig. 8). The microvilli are found on certain regions of the blastomere, while other regions of the same blastomere are devoid of these structures (Fig. 8). Some blastomeres possess few if any microvilli (Fig. 8). By 8 hours postfertilization the blastomeres are of equal size. The surface of the embryo is smooth, the contours are regular, and a single indentation is present at one pole (Figs. 9, 10). This indentation corresponds to a blastopore, and the pole at which it forms corresponds to the future posterior end of the planula (Fig. 11) (Martin and Thomas, 1983b). Some of the cells at the surface appear to migrate in a radial fashion toward the blastopore, roll over the margins of the pore, and disappear to the inside FIGURE 1 .

This stage represents gastrulation. The gastrula is ca. 250 jim long and 190 pm wide. During gastrulation surface specializations characteristic of mucous cells appear (see Fig. 16 for gland cell specialization). These specializations consist of a single cilium surrounded by a low disorganized collar of microvilli. The cilium and microvilli sit within a small ectodermal surface depression (Fig. 16). Thus by the end of gastrulation surface projections of mucous cells and epitheliomuscle cells are distinguishable (see Figs. 15, 16). The epitheliomuscle cell possesses a single cilium that projects from its surface. These cilia are short when they first appear and later become longer as the embryo matures to the planula stage (Figs. 7, 15). Very few if any microvilli are associated with this cilium. Each epitheliomuscle cell and mucous cell is monociliated. The surface specializations of the epitheliomuscle cells and mucous cells do not change as the embryo matures, except for the elongation of the cilium. Blastomeres located closest to the blastopore possess short cilia while those farthest from the blastopore have longer cilia. Each blastomere corresponds to either an epitheliomuscle cell or a mucous cell. Between 8 and 10 hours postfertilization the gastrula elongates in an anterior- posterior direction to form a young planula (Fig. 1 1 ). This 10-hour planula measures ca. 350 /urn long, 180 /j.m wide in the anterior region, 170 nm wide in the mid area, and 120 ^m wide in the tail region. A distinct anterior pole and posterior pole are visible (Fig. 1 1). The blastopore is located at the posterior pole of the planula and is nearly closed (Fig. 1 1 ). The surface cells are numerous, small, and uniform in size. Epitheliomuscle cells and mucous cells comprise the ectoderm. Microvilli of the 10-hour embryo are numerous and are not arranged in distinct patches as seen during early development. They are uniformly distributed over the surfaces of the ectodermal cells. This distribution pattern persists until the planula begins to metamorphose. The 10-hour planula elongates to form the mature planula which is anywhere from 24 to 96 hours old depending upon temperature (Figs. 12, 14). During the elongation period the planula grows in length and becomes narrow in diameter; surface specializations of neurosensory cells and nematocytes appear (Figs. 17, 18); and numbers of cells increase. By 36 hours the planula is ca. 700 /urn long, 1 50 ^m wide in the anterior region, 100 Mm wide in the mid area, and 80 ^m wide in the tail (Fig. 12). The ectoderm of the 36-hour planula consists of epitheliomuscle cells, mucous cells, and nematocytes (see Figs. 15, 16, and 18 for distinguishing surface projections of these cells). The epitheliomuscle cells comprise the majority of the ectodermal cells and are found along the entire length of the planula. Mucous cells are the second major type and are mostly concentrated in the anterior third of the animal (Martin and Archer, sub- mitted). Numerous surface specializations of these cells are abundant in the head region. Nematocytes are located in a region extending from the anterior end of the planula to the lower third of the planula and are most abundant in the anterior end. Apical projections of nematocytes are characterized by a single cilium projecting from a basal collar of long microvilli (Fig. 18). The cilium is displaced to one side of the collar. All cilia at this stage are long (Fig. 13). By 36 hours an indentation is visible at the anterior end of the planula (Fig. 1 3). This indentation is not the same pore formed by the blastopore during gastrulation. Long cilia project from this indentation. This indentation appears to help the planula attach to a substrate. At 48 hours the planula is ca. 800 urn long, 120 ^m wide in the head region, 60 Mm wide in the mid area, and 40 ^m wide at the tail (Fig. 14). Five types of surface specializations are present by 48 hours (Figs. 15-18). Microvilli are scattered over all the ectodermal cell surfaces. Apical regions of epitheliomuscle cells are characterized by a solitary cilium (Fig. 15). Mucous cells possess a single cilium surrounded by a FIGURE 1 Ten-hour planula. The animal has elongated and has a distinct anterior end and posterior end. The anterior end is directed down in this micrograph. Microvilli are scattered over the surfaces of all ectodermal cells. Cilia are numerous. The blastopore (arrow) is located at the posterior tip of the planula. X280. FIGURE 12. Thirty-six-hour planula. The planula is long and narrow.

SEM OF A HYDROZOAN 123 loose collar of microvilli, all of which arise from a small surface depression (Fig. 16). Apical extensions of neurosensory cells are visible by this stage (Fig. 1 7). These sensory cells possess a single cilium surrounded by a bulbous cluster of microvilli. The cilium is located in the center of the cluster. Neurosensory cells occur all along the length of the planula but are most concentrated in the anterior head region of the planula. Nematocyte projections identical to those described for the 36 hour planula are also seen (Fig. 18). The nematocyte specializations are more numerous than those seen at 36 hours, however, they do have the same distribution pattern. Planulae become competent to metamorphose anytime between 24 hours and 96 hours postfertilization depending on temperature. Planulae may metamorphose naturally or they can be induced to metamorphose by treating with cesium chloride (Martin and Archer, in prep.). Shortly after planulae attach to a substrate, their cells lose microvilli and cilia. For a summary of the time sequence of developmental events in embryos ofPennaria tiarella at 23C see Table I. DISCUSSION The planula larva is the best described representative of the cnidarian embryonic life cycle (Martin and Thomas, 1977, 1980, 198 la, b, 1983a, b; Freeman, 1981; Martin and Chia, 1982; Martin et al., 1983; Berking, 1984; Walch et ai, 1986). The mor- phological events prior to planula formation have been largely ignored in the past, and as a result information on early development in the cnidarians is lacking (Martin and Thomas, 1977, 1983b; Martin et al., 1983). In an attempt to understand better embryonic morphogenesis in the cnidarians we used scanning electron microscopy to examine the development of a typical marine hydrozoan beginning with early cleavage and ending with the mature planula. During the development ofPennaria tiarella the embryo undergoes extensive changes in body shape. Early cleaving embryos have a bizarre morphology, however, by the end of late cleavage the embryos have rounded to form spheres. Such a rounding of the embryo may be essential if an organized form of gastrulation is to follow. In Pennaria tiarella gastrulation is organized with the formation of a blastopore at the future posterior end of the planula and the migration of cells over the margins of the blastopore to the inside of the embryo (Martin and Archer, in prep.). Such movements of cells resemble the morphogenetic process of invagination, a type of gastrulation not pre- viously reported for the Hydrozoa (Tardent, 1978). A similar pattern of gastrulation FIGURE 1 5. Surface projections of epitheliomuscle cells. A single cilium extends from each cell. X6500. FIGURE 16. Surface projection of a mucous cell.

The product of gastrulation is a short fat planula. As the young animal grows into a mature planula capable of attaching and metamorphosing, planular length increases while planular diameter in the anterior, mid, and tail regions decreases. During development of Pennaria tiarella the distribution patterns and numbers of microvilli and cilia change. In early and late cleavage the microvilli are abundant and are found in distinct patches. Cleavages are very rapid in these embryos and the arrangement of microvilli during this period of intense mitotic activity may play an important role in the ability of these blastomeres to adhere together and form stable contacts. The patch arrangement of microvilli may increase the surface area of these projections and hence provide sites for numerous adhesion molecules. As development proceeds through late cleavage cell division slows and the arrangement and number of microvilli change. The number of microvilli per animal increases through the mature planula stage and they are not arranged in patches. The microvilli disappear shortly after the mature planula attaches. At the beginning of gastrulation, the microvilli appear as single entities. Because cell division is slowed, pretty much synchronous, and of a more ordered pattern by gastrulation, perhaps not as many adhesion molecules are needed for the initial sticking together of these cells as were needed earlier. The presence of a single microvilli on the surfaces of cells from early gastrulation through the mature planula stage may be a reflection of the need for fewer adhesion factors during later development. Cilia are not found on early cleavage embryos. Only after the blastomeres have rounded to form a late cleavage sphere do a few short cilia appear. These cilia are associated with blastomeres that will form differentiated epitheliomuscle cells after gastrulation. The presence of cilia on these late cleavage blastomeres may indicate that some of ;se early cells are predetermined during cleavage before the actual separation of the two germ layers occurs during gastrulation. As development continues to the mature planula stage cilia grow in length and increase in number. Surface specializations characteristic of mucous cells, neurosensory cells, and nematocytes form. The appearance of these specializations at particular developmental ages as SEM OF A HYDROZOAN 125 determined from scanning electron microscopy corresponds well to their developmental appearance noted using transmission electron microscopy (Martin and Thomas, 1977, 1980, 1981b, 1983a). Sexual reproduction and embryogenesis have never been a primary focal point in cnidarian research. This is surprising because the cnidaria offer excellent material for the study of the evolution of embryogenesis. Embryogenesis in the simpler forms at times appears almost "anarchic," whereas, in the more advanced cnidaria highly com- plex mosaic patterns are seen (Metschnikoff, 1886; Carre, 1969). The present study examines embryogenesis in a marine hydrozoan. Findings such as the arrangement and distribution of microvilli during development, the presence of cytoplasmic blebs on early blastomeres, the presence of cilia during late cleavage, the formation of a blastopore, the migration and invagination of surface cells during gastrulation, and the changes in body shape as the hydrozoan embryo progresses from early cleavage to the mature planula have not been reported previously. Additional studies of em- bryogenesis in the phylum are needed to fill in the major gaps that exist in our basic knowledge of morphogenesis in this lower animal phylum.

(August, 1986) PRECOCIOUS TERMINATION OF DIAPAUSE IN NECK- AND ABDOMEN LIGATED PUPAL PREPARATIONS OF THE TOBACCO HORNWORM, MANDUCA SEXTA LOUIS SAFRANEK, CLAYTON R. SQUIRE, AND CARROLL M. WILLIAMS Department of Cellular and Developmental Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 ABSTRACT When ligatures were placed between the head and thorax of freshly pupated horn- worms, the resulting brainless preparations initiated adult development weeks earlier than intact diapausing controls and months earlier than similar preparations from which the brain had been surgically extirpated. This phenomenon could not be re- produced by removal of any single recognized cephalic neural or endocrine organ or any combination of organs. A similar accelerated development took place in many isolated pupal abdomens prepared by ligature or surgical section between the thorax and abdomen. Extirpation of the prothoracic glands of either diapause or non-diapause pupae resulted in only a very slight delay in the onset of adult development. Nevertheless, this development remained highly dependent on the brain, since preparations lacking brains as well as prothoracic glands underwent a prolonged developmental arrest. Preparations lacking prothoracic glands demonstrated elevated levels of ecdysone at the outset of adult development, although these levels were slightly lower than those of intact individuals at a similar stage. These findings suggest that sources of ecdysone outside the prothoracic glands can respond to a hormonally active brain and contribute significantly to the elevated liters of ecdysone that accompany much of normal adult development. In addition, the present results direct attention to the possible existence of a head-centered mechanism for maintenance of the low ecdysone liter necessary for the persistence of pupal diapause. INTRODUCTION Insect pupal diapause is classically conceived as a developmental hiatus attributable to the failure of the prothoracic glands (PG) to secrete ecdysone a failure considered in turn to reflect the diapausing brain's inability to secrete the prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH). But in the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, the diapause-like arrest that ensues after surgical excision of the pupal brain is eventually terminated, albeit with substantial delay relative to intact pupae (Judy, 1972; Wilson and Larsen, 1974; Safranek and Williams, 1980). Possible mechanisms for this outcome include autonomous secretion of ecdysone by the PG or by additional tissues not subject to the classical type of regulation by the brain.

Nevertheless, ecdysteroid production in at least certain species has been shown to proceed outside the PG in sources that include the testes, ovaries, and oenocytes (for reviews, see Hoffman and Hetru, 1983; Rees, 1985). The physiological significance of these abdominal sources is supported by instances in which ecdysone-dependent de- velopment takes place in the absence of the PG-for example, after surgical extirpation of the PG or in isolated abdomens (Chadwick, 1955; Ichikawa, 1962; Hsaio et al, 1975; Delbecque et al, 1978; Delbecque and Slama, 1980; Slama, 1983). But most studies to date fail to clarify whether these sources contribute significantly to the rising levels of ecdysone that accompany molting in intact insects. The brain is known to be an important and sometimes necessary organ for the generation of molt-inducing levels of ecdysone. But again, numerous instances of ecdysone-dependent development in the absence of the brain have been described (see Safranek and Williams, 1980, for review). The current study focuses on the pupal stage of the tobacco hornworm where we have encountered the paradoxical finding that decapitation of freshly pupated diapause-destined individuals actually accelerates the initiation of adult development. The present experiments document this finding and probe its endocrine basis, drawing attention to previously unsuspected aspects of the regulation of normal adult development. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hornworms were reared as described previously (Safranek and Williams, 1980) at 25C under either a short-day (SD, 12L: 12D) or long-day (LD, 17L:7D) photoperiod. SD pupae were derived from larvae reared under SD conditions and normally un- derwent a pupal diapause. LD pupae were derived from larvae under LD conditions; these did not diapause but initiated development typically within five days after pu- pation. The day of pupation is termed "Day 1" of the pupal stage, and the first seven days of the pupal stage "Week 1 ." Operations and ligations were carried out as described previously (Safranek and Williams, 1980; Safranek et al, 1980) and as described below. All operated preparations were maintained under SD conditions at 25 C, the initiation of development being recognized by detachment and retraction of the trachea from the overlying pupal cuticle of the forewings. Removal of the subesophageal ganglion (SEG) or the prothoracic or mesothoracic ganglia (PTG, MTG) was accomplished through a small ventral midline incision be- ginning at the base of the pupal proboscis; in many instances the proboscis was still quite flexible and could be bent slightly from the midline to facilitate the surgical approach. Removal of the prothoracic glands (PG) was accomplished after removal of a rectangular section of the dorsal thoracic cuticle. The main body of each PG was identified nested in its characteristic position just medial to the large tracheal trunk adjoining the prothoracic spiracle. It was gently teased free of its fine connections to surrounding tissues and then withdrawn by the aid of two forceps used in a hand over hand fashion to draw the remainder of the gland slowly from more anterior regions. Abdomens were prepared by ligation within 6 h of larval-pupal ecdysis shortly after the pupal wings attained their final size and position. Older abdomens were surgically isolated using a razor blade to section the pupal cuticle and body wall behind the thorax. The gut was either ligated with a fine sterile thread or draped over the side of the exposed edge of the abdomen. A sterile glass cover slip was applied over the anterior end of the abdomen and sealed with melted wax (Tackiwax, CENCO). Radioimmu- noassays of ecdysteroids were performed as described elsewhere (Carrow et al, 1981). 128 L. SAFRANEK ET AL. RESULTS Effects of brain removal and kcad-ligation on the development of pupae In the course of studies on the regulation of pupal diapause we noted that pupae head-ligated promptly after eclosion to the pupal stage initiated development much sooner than would have been expected of brainless pupae. To document this we ligated 100 SD pupae within 2-6 h after pupation. An additional 100 SD pupae were set aside as unoperaied controls. All individuals were examined at weekly intervals for the onset of tracheal apolysis. As documented in Figure 1 , the ligated preparations initiated development an average of one month prior to intact diapausing pupae and approximately four months earlier than expected for pupae whose brains had been surgically extirpated (Safranek and Williams, 1980). We repeated the experiment on approximately 50 freshly ecdysed SD pupae and 50 similar LD pupae, with 50 intact SD pupae serving as controls. Here again over 50% of the neck-ligated preparations had initiated adult development by the fifth week, irrespective of LD or SD status; by the ninth week over 90% had done so. By contrast, 50% of the intact SD controls initiated development only after 1 1 weeks and 90% only after 13 weeks. The development of the LD preparations thus was delayed by more than a month relative to that of intact LD pupae, which, as previously men- tioned, initiate development within a week of pupation. But both LD and SD prep- arations developed in this instance over a month before intact diapausing pupae and several months earlier than would have been expected of pupae whose brains had been excised rather than removed by neck-ligation. 100- 345678 Weeks After Pupation 10 12 FIGURE 1. Acceleration of diapause termination by neck-ligation of diapause pupae. Diapause pupae were ligated 2-6 h after ecdysis. Initiation of development was recognized by apolysis of the wing epidermis. Ligated preparations are indicated by dark circles, intact controls by clear triangles. DIAPAUSE REGULATION IN THE HORNWORM 129 Two explanations for these results seemed possible. Either a developmental inhibitor existed in the head which could be removed by ligation but not by brain excision or else the ligation itself provided an ecdysiotropic stimulus to the headless preparations. We examined these possibilities in the following experiments. Effects of removal of the brain plus other cephalic organs We attempted to identify a cephalic inhibitor by surgical extirpation of known cephalic neuroendocrine centers. Because head-ligated preparations lacked the brain as well as all other cephalic organs and because surgical extirpation of the brain alone produced a greatly prolonged diapause that could be readily distinguished from the abbreviated diapause of head-ligated preparations, most of our experiments involved simultaneous removal of the brain in addition to one or more of the other cephalic organs. Thus, the brain was removed in tandem with the subesophageal ganglion (SEG), the frontal ganglion (FG), the prothoracic ganglion (PTG), the mesothoracic ganglion (MTG), or the corpora cardiaca-corpora allata complexes (CC-CA). In ad- dition, brain removal was performed in combination either with severance of all neural connections to the SEG, which was thereby left wholly free in the head, or with sev- erance of the neural connection between the SEG and PTG only. Additional groups of brainless pupae with appropriate sham operations were established as controls. These experiments included operations on the PTG and MTG because of the proximity of these ganglia to a neck-ligature. All these experiments were performed on diapause- destined SD pupae 6 to 1 2 h after pupal ecdysis. The results (Table I) demonstrated no significant differences between the various groups of pupae. Irrespective of the surgical procedures performed, all groups entered an extended diapause averaging over 30 weeks. We considered in addition the possibility that the brain itself might be the source of an inhibitor. We were driven to entertain this possibility because for reasons of technical ease we routinely head-ligated pupae about 2 to 6 h after pupal ecdysis but normally surgically removed the brain 6 to 12 h after ecdysis. Thus, the brain could potentially have released an inhibitor during the initial 6 h after ecdysis. To investigate this possibility we removed the brains from a group of larvae 1-2 days prior to the wandering period; as controls we sham-operated additional larvae. Subsequently late on the day of pupal ecdysis we removed the brains of half of the previously sham- operated individuals. In addition, we sham-operated all the other individuals, both those that had previously lost their brains and also the other half of the previously sham-operated group. We subsequently monitored all the preparations for the initiation of development at weekly intervals. All of the 23 twice sham-operated preparations initiated adult development after 1-4 months. By contrast, brainless pupae entered an extended diapause regardless of whether the brain had been removed before (n = 17) or after pupation (n == 23). At 4 months less than 25% of either group had initiated development, and after 7 months more than 50% of each group still remained in diapause. Thus, evidence for a brain-derived inhibitor was entirely negative. Effects ofPG removal on adult development All these results failed to define an inhibitory center in the head. This raised the possibility that head-ligation itself might produce an injury reaction which elicited development through a stimulatory effect on the PG. To examine this possibility we implanted into brainless, diapausing 1 -day-old pupae the PG removed from 3-day- old SD pupal preparations that had previously been head-ligated on Day 1 . As controls 130 L. SAFRANEK ET AL. we implanted the PG from intact Day 3 SD pupae into brainless 1 -day-old pupal hosts and thereafter examined a!) the preparations for development at weekly intervals. During the subsequent 6 weeks, only 1 of the 1 5 pupae in each group initiated de- velopment. This contrasted greatly with the rapid development of a further control group of 18 heo i preparations in which half had initiated development by 6 weeks. These indicated that head-ligation did not generate within three days of ligation versible, significant increase in PG activity. In the preceding experiment, after removal of the PG from the head-ligated pupae, the thorax of each was resealed and the preparation observed at weekly intervals for the initiation of development. Much to our surprise, extirpation of the PG failed to block development of these decapitated preparations. At six weeks similar percentages of head-ligated pupae (9 of 18) and head-ligated pupae lacking PG (8 of 15) had terminated diapause, suggesting that development of head-ligated pupae did not require ecdysone secretion by the PG. We initially considered that our surgical procedure must not have removed the entire PG. But repeated, detailed dissection of pupae after PG extirpation failed to reveal any retained portion of the PG. Comparison of the extirpated PG with whole PG carefully dissected from sacrificed pupae did not suggest that our routine operation left behind any portion of the PG. These concerns were rendered moot by additional experiments. We prepared over 300 isolated pupal abdomens either by ligation within 4 h of the larval-pupal ecdysis or by surgical isolation of slightly older pupal abdomens as described under Materials and Methods. Although abdomens prepared by either approach had a very low mor- tality within the first week, preparations of both types experienced a sharply increasing mortality thereafter. Few preparations exhibited spontaneous motion beyond eight TABLE I Effects of surgical extirpation of cephalic and thoracic organs on diapause termination Organs removed 1 Number of preparations % Developed at 50 weeks Average time to development 2 Brain plus sham 3 181 67 35 12 Brain plus SEG 41 85 34 10 Brain plus PTG 27 81 31 10 Brain plus EG 21 38 33 12 Brain plus MTG 11 73 32 11 Brain (SEG loose) 22 73 34 12 Brain plus VNC 4 17 65 39 12 Brain plus CC-CA 16 78 36 10 1 Abbreviations: SEG: = subesophageal ganglion; PTG = prothoracic ganglion; EG = frontal ganglion; MTG = mesothoracic ganglion; VNC = ventral nerve cord; CC-CA = corpora cardiaca-corpora allata complexes. 2 Averages are standard deviation and are calculated only for those preparations which had developed by 50 weeks. Thus the average time to development for the entire group of preparations would have been longer than >hat listed here. 3 A group of sham-operated pupae was established for each experimental group of preparations listed below. No experimental group developed at a rate significantly different from its control group or from the pooled set of sham-operated preparations as listed on this line. Shams included brain removal plus a sham operation on the ventral thorax except in the control group for preparations without the brain and CC-CA complex, in which instance only the brain of the sham preparations was removed through a cephalic incision and no ventral incision was placed. 4 The segment of the ventral nerve cord between the SEG and PTG was severed. DIAPAUSE REGULATION IN THE HORNWORM 131 weeks. Nevertheless we repeatedly witnessed the spontaneous development of both male and female abdomens prepared by either technique: the earliest fully scaled and pigmented adult abdomen was obtained five weeks after pupation, others after as long as six months. Overall we have witnessed the adult development of 27 pupal abdomens, with approximately equal numbers of males and females and an average time from the isolation of the abdomens to the completion of adult development of 1 2 weeks. If survival could be enhanced, our experience suggests that many more, and perhaps all, of these preparations would be able to undergo adult development. The time course of development of these abdomens suggested that an abdominal source of a molting hormone could account for the spontaneous development of head-ligated pupal preparations: although we could not witness the initiation of adult development in isolated abdomens, the first individuals to complete adult development among either the head-ligated preparations or the isolated abdomens did so after about five weeks. Development took place in abdomens isolated from both LD and SD pupae; although the sample size was relatively small, no differences were noted in the times at which development was completed within the two groups. What might this unusual source of molting hormone contribute to normal devel- opment? As we have seen here and elsewhere (Safranek and Williams, 1980), surgical extirpation of either the LD or SD pupal brain results in a developmental arrest of several months duration. By contrast, extirpation of the PG fails to block development of otherwise intact pupae. This was demonstrated in the case of LD pupae after removal of the PG from 12 Day 2 pupae: all of these pupae subsequently initiated development within 6 weeks of the operation, the earliest at 1 week, and 75% by 2.5 weeks. This represented a delay of only about 1 week relative to 1 2 control pupae whose PG had been extirpated and then replaced into the thoracic cavity, all of which initiated adult development within 6-1 1 days of the operation. PG removal also failed substantially to alter the duration of diapause in SD pupae. In this instance PG were removed from 1 8 Day 3 SD pupae; 1 5 similar pupae served as controls after receiving sham operations. Half of the 1 5 controls had initiated development at 9 weeks, as had half of the preparations lacking PG. The controls had an average diapause duration of 12 weeks, the experimentals, 1 3 weeks. Neither preparations subjected to PG extirpation nor sham-operated controls eclosed successfully; nevertheless, the course of adult devel- opment appeared grossly similar for both groups and essentially normal in its character and duration. These experiments demonstrated the ability of an ecdysteroid source outside the PG to initiate and support adult development. In addition, the more rapid development of LD preparations relative to their SD counterparts suggested that these sources could respond to a hormonally active brain. Further to demonstrate this phenomenon we implanted brains from Day 1 LD pupae into Day 3 SD pupae from half of which both the brain-CC-CA complex and PG were removed, from the other half, the brain- CC-CA complex only. Both groups developed promptly. Of 10 preparations that had retained their PG, all commenced development within 6 weeks, the average being 2 weeks. Among the group without PG 3 of 14 developed only after several months whereas the remaining 1 1 initiated development within 5 weeks, the average of these being 3 weeks. Manifestly, the absence of the PG failed to block or even to delay substantially the rapid onset of development in response to a LD brain. In an additional control group of 15, the brain-CC-CA complex and the PG were removed but a LD brain was not implanted. All of these preparations underwent a prolonged diapause of at least three months and more than half remained in diapause after six months. As indicated in the previous experiments, these data again demonstrate that devel- opment can be stimulated by a hormonally active brain even in the absence of PG. 1 32 L. SAFRANEK ET AL. Is the development of preparations lacking PG accompanied by elevated ecdysteroid liters? We inquired whether the onset of adult development in pupae lacking PG was accompanied by a rise in the ecdysteroid level. To this end we collected hemolymph samples from 3 groups of pupae on the day of tracheal apolysis namely, intact LD pupae, LD pupae whose PG had been removed 24-48 h after pupation, and SD pupae whose PG had been removed at 2 weeks after pupation and which at that time had also received an implantation of a Day 1 LD pupal brain. We also measured the ecdysteroid levels of a group of 2-4 week old diapausing SD pupae. Samples were analyzed in a RIA for ecdysteroids. The results are summarized in Table II. Manifestly, both sets of preparations lacking PG had ecdysteroid levels markedly greater than those typically found in the course of diapause. Nevertheless, these liters were only about one-fourth those occurring in the intact LD pupae at a similar develop- mental stage. DISCUSSION The present results describe a peculiar abbreviation of the hornworm pupal dia- pause when head-ligation rather than surgical excision was employed for removal of the brain promptly after pupal ecdysis. Adult development was advanced by months relative to surgically debrained preparations and by weeks relative to intact diapausing pupae. Yet we were unable to identify a cephalic source of a molting inhibitor among recognized neural or endocrine organs in the head. We nevertheless continue to favor an inhibitor as an explanation of this phenom- enon. Although we cannot rule out the involvement of a powerful stimulatory injury effect as can sometimes be seen after surgical manipulation of mature pupae (Wilson and Larsen, 1974; pers. obs.), several arguments oppose this explanation and favor an inhibitor. First, the considerable surgical injuries resulting from combined brain and SEG-PTG removal had no stimulatory effect on development, nor did we find evidence of any irreversible activation of the PG after ligation. Indeed, our experience suggests that injury shortly after pupation delays development: this is the case with young non-diapausing pupae where even a small cephalic cuticular wound will delay development by 1-2 days. Second, the developmental stimulation witnessed following neck-ligation of pupae does not occur promptly as one might expect from injury; rather the stimulation becomes apparent only after at least two weeks and often much longer. Third, the active involvement of an inhibitor during diapause would account for the ability of hornworm pupae to develop in the absence of the brain: the eventual disappearance of the hypothetical inhibitor would permit resumption of development even in the absence of a positive stimulus from the brain. These considerations lead TABLE II Effects of proth.oracic gland extirpation on the ecdysteroid liter at the outset of adult development Procedure Stage Ecdysteroid titer ' SD pupa-PG + LD brain Tracheal apolysis 5.9 1.9 LDpupa-PG Tracheal apolysis 4.9 1.8 LD pupa, intact Tracheal apolysis 223 SD pupa, intact Pupal diapause, 2 weeks 0.21 0.03 The ecdysteroid titer is expressed in ng/ml 0-ecdysone equivalents. DIAPAUSE REGULATION IN THE HORNWORM 133 us to suggest that in the normal course of the horn worm's pupal diapause an inhibitor is elaborated by the cephalic region that is responsible for the maintenance of the diapausing condition. Over time this inhibitor is eliminated by breakdown and/or by cessation of its production, thereby permitting the initiation of adult development. This model, consistent with the present findings, finds some support in the literature. Results similar to those recorded here have been noted in Anther ea pernyi (Waku, 1959) wherein pupae head-ligated promptly after pupation experienced an abbreviated diapause relative to both brainless preparations and intact unchilled diapause pupae. So also, in Pieris brassicae removal of the brain during diapause accelerated diapause termination; moreover, abdomens isolated from chilled diapausing pupae underwent spontaneous development in contrast to the persistent diapause of abdomens isolated from young, unchilled individuals (Kono, 1977). The acknowledged preeminent role of a molt-inhibiting hormone in the development of Crustacea illustrates the potential for inhibitory control of the ecdysteroid titer among arthropods (Highnam and Hill, 1977). These examples, as well as our own, do not preclude a contributing role for the brain in diapause termination. Indeed, we suggest that pupal-adult development may reflect an interplay of both stimulatory and inhibitory factors. The final noteworthy finding of our study is the ability of isolated pupal abdomens to initiate adult development. This propensity is unique to this stage, since isolated larval abdomens, even when implanted with brains, fail to undergo a molt (Safranek and Williams, 1980). Development of isolated abdomens or of preparations lacking prothoracic glands has previously been noted in late larval and pupal stages of diverse orders of insects (Chadwick, 1955; Hsiao et al, 1975; Delbecque eta/., 1978; Delbecque and Slama, 1980) including the Lepidoptera (Ichikawa, 1962; Kono, 1977; Slama, 1983). Production of ecdysteroids outside the PG has been even more widely docu- mented and has been shown to derive from testes (Loeb et al., 1982), ovaries (see Hoffman and Hetru, 1983, for review), or oenocytes (Romer et al., 1974; Studinger and Willig, 1975). We do not presently know the source of molting hormone driving the development of isolated pupal hornworm abdomens, but since this development occurred in both male and female abdomens on a similar time scale, we favor an extra-gonadal source. The contribution of these abdominal sources to normal adult development is un- certain. The present experiments make clear that sources of ecdysteroids outside the PG are more active in the presence of a non-diapausing brain. Moreover, in either diapause or non-diapause pupae these sources can support development in the absence of PG at a rate very nearly that of intact pupae. When development ensues in the absence of PG, ecdysteroid levels rise into a range near that of intact pupae. We note that development of preparations without PG does typically lag that of controls by several days and that the ecdysteroid liters at the outset of tracheal apolysis are uni- formly slightly lower than those of controls at the same stage of development. Nev- ertheless the extra-PG sources clearly respond to an active brain and can generate high developmentally effective levels of ecdysteroids at least 25-fold greater than those found during the course of diapause. Thus, our observations indicate that at least one novel source of ecdysone plays a definite and possibly important role in the endocrine events normally associated with the onset of adult development. Although the ecdysteroid source outside the PG responds to an active brain, it may differ from the PG in other aspects of its regulation. We note in particular that the time courses of development initiation in head-ligated preparations with or without PG as well as of isolated abdomens all appeared quite similar. Thus, the peculiar accelerated development of neck-ligated diapausing pupae could potentially reflect the activity largely of an abdominal ecdysteroid source. This source might be especially responsive to the disappearance of an inhibitory influence emanating from the head. 134 L. SAFRANEK ET AL. Manifestly the picture presented here differs substantially from that derived through classic studies of the Cecropia silkworm. Whether one or the other picture will prove paradigmatic we cannot yet say. But certainly the literature portrays a complex picture even among the silkworms. We have already noted the work of Waku in Antherea pernyi. In addition, Ichikawa (1962) described the development of isolated abdomens of Samia cynfhfa in the presence of an active brain. And the regulation of diapause termination in unchilled or inadequately chilled Cecropia or in Cecropia that fail to develop promptly after termination of chilling but which ultimately develop all remain to be investigated. Although the present experiments along with those of others make clear that the regulation of pupal diapause termination in the Lepidoptera will very likely not make for a simple yarn, even now we see evidence of a common thread.

(August, 1986) PARTIAL PHOTOPERIODIC CONTROL OF DIAPAUSE IN THREE POPULATIONS OF THE FRESHWATER COPEPOD DIAPTOMUS SANGUINEUS NELSON G. HAIRSTON, JR. 1 AND EMILY J. OLDS 2 1 Section of Ecology and Systematics, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853: and 2 Entomology Department, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824 ABSTRACT Populations of the freshwater calanoid copepod Diaptomus sanguineus inhabiting three Rhode Island ponds switch from making subitaneous (immediately hatching) to diapausing eggs on different dates. From results of previous research the timing of diapause appears to correspond closely to the individual causes of seasonally harsh conditions in each pond. The results of rearing copepods from each pond in controlled laboratory environments indicate that each population possesses a unique spectrum of sensitivity to photoperiod. The responses obtained, however, fail to describe ade- quately either the rapidity with which the onset of diapause occurs in natural popu- lations, or the differences in diapause timing between ponds. In initiating diapause, the copepods must respond to seasonal environmental cues other than critical pho- toperiod. INTRODUCTION Diapause is a physiological and developmental response adopted by a broad variety of animals as a means of avoiding seasonally uninhabitable periods in the environment. Annual climatic changes are frequently responsible for the onset of harsh conditions, and examples of temperate zone animals that enter diapause prior to winter are espe- cially well documented (see Danilevskii, 1965; Beck, 1980; and Tauber et ai, 1985 for reviews). When a species' geographical range covers a broad spectrum of latitudes, intolerable winter conditions for local populations may begin at markedly different times of year. Often these populations exhibit responses to diapause-controlling cues correlated with the climatic gradient. For example, animals collected at northern lat- itudes initiate diapause earlier in the autumn or at longer photoperiods than those collected further south (e.g.. Showers et al, 1975; Holtzer et al, 1976; Lumme and Oikarinen, 1977; Marcus, 1984). Several investigators have shown that such variation is genetically based indicating that populations are specifically adapted to the latitudes at which they reside (Masaki, 1963, 1967; Showers et al, 1975;Istock, 1981; Marcus, 1984). At the same time, there is evidence that some local populations retain additive genetic variance for diapause traits (Hoy, 1977; Istock, 1981; Lumme, 1982; Hairston and Walton, 1986), presumably maintained by local variation in selection pressures. A third potential source of variation in diapause is that between populations residing at the same latitude. For such variation to exist, however, local habitats must be sufficiently isolated or represent sufficiently different selective regimes to overcome the homogenizing force of dispersal. The planktonic freshwater copepod Diaptomus sanguineus is a resident of small lakes and ponds in northeastern North America Received 28 February 1986; accepted 19 May 1986. 135 136 N. G. HAIRSTON, JR. AND E. J. OLDS (Wilson, 1959). Within any given geographical area, many of these bodies of water differ in potentially important ways such as basin depth with its accompanying effect on the annual water ' ature cycle, seasonal permanency, and the types of plank- tivores present. Three populations of D. sanguineus residing in three ponds in southern Rhode Island exhibit distinct seasonal patterns of egg diapause (Fig. 1A). In Bullhead Pond the copepods switch from production of subitaneous (immediately hatching) eggs to production of diapausing eggs in late March; in Pond C diapause is initiated at the end of April, and in Pond A diapause begins principally in mid-May (Hairston and Munns, 1984; Hairston et ai, 1985; Hairston, 1986). These patterns are regularly repeated in successive years and represent real differences between reproductive phe- nologies of the three populations even though the ponds in which they live are geo- graphically quite close to each other (Ponds A and C are <200 m apart and ca. 27 km from Bullhead Pond). We showed previously (Hairston and Olds, 1984) that female copepods reciprocally transplanted between Bullhead Pond and Pond A began pro- duction of diapausing eggs at the time of year appropriate to their home pond rather than the pond to which they were transferred, and concluded that D. sanguineus was physiologically unable to alter its reproduction in response to changes in pond type. What then is the basis for the differences in timing of diapause observed be- tween ponds? One obvious possibility is that the copepods have distinct adaptations suitable to the local habitat in which they live. Hairston and Munns (1984) showed that D. san- guineus in Bullhead Pond began production of diapausing eggs at the appropriate time to avoid a spring increase in planktivory by resident sunfish. Ponds A and C, on the other hand, are temporary bodies of water and contain no fish. In Pond C the copepods switch to making diapausing eggs at the correct time of year to avoid sea- sonally intense predation by the dipteran larvae Chaoborus and Mochlonyx (Hairston et al, 1985; Hairston, 1986). Neither of these predatory flies is abundant in Pond A, where D. sanguineus appears to produce diapausing eggs as an adaptation to survive periods of pond drying (Hairston et al., 1985; Hairston and Olds, in prep.). If timing of diapause is a distinct adaptation of the copepods to the separate conditions found in each pond, then the differing seasonal patterns of reproduction must have a genetic basis. Photoperiod is the environmental cue initiating diapause in a broad variety of animals including insects (e.g.. Beck, 1980; Tauber and Tauber, 1981), mammals (Flint et al., 1981), and crustacean zooplankton (Einsle, 1964; Stress and Hill, 1965; Stress, 1969;Spindler, 1971; Watson and SmaUman, 1971; Marcus, 1980). As a result, it is logical to ask if the different D. sanguineus populations switch from production of subitateous eggs to diapausing eggs at different critical day lengths. The data in Figure 1 A can be replotted as the fraction of each population carrying subitaneous eggs (as opposed to diapausing eggs) at the day length prevailing when the copepods were collected (Fig. IB). If the interpopulation differences in the timing of diapause initiation result from the copepods being sensitive to different critical day lengths, then animals collected at each of the three ponds and reared in the laboratory under a : iries of appropriately chosen photoperiods should respond with distinct pat- terns of subitaneous and diapausing egg production. Specifically, at day lengths shorter than about ', 1 hours all copepods should make subitaneous eggs, at intermediate day lengths of around 1 3 hours Bullhead Pond copepods should make diapausing eggs while copep , i'rom Ponds A and C should make subitaneous eggs, and at day lengths longer than at nit S4.5 hours all copepods should make diapausing eggs. Here we test this hypothesis as a route to understanding the causes underlying the distinct repro- ductive phenologies of D. sanguineus living in Bullhead Pond, Pond A, and Pond C.

Data points after the switch to production of diapausing eggs are omitted here to facilitate illustration. Copepods in temporary Pond A have been shown in some years to return to production of subitaneous eggs for brief periods in June after the pond refilled with water from heavy rains. These reversals, discussed in detail elsewhere (Hairston and Olds, 1984; in prep.), have been omitted here to simplify illustration. B.

MATERIALS AND METHODS The study sites, Bullhead Pond and Ponds A and C, are described in detail elsewhere (Hairston, 1980; Hairston et al., 1983; Hairston and Olds, 1984). Diaptomus sanguineus has 1 2 separate instars: six naupliar and six copepodid stages, plus an egg stage which the female copepods carry in a sac attached to their urosome. The animals are active in the water column during winter and spring, and make two or three generations per year before producing diapausing eggs (Hairston and Olds, 1984; Hairston et al., 1985). Live first and second stage nauplii were collected during March through May from each of the three Rhode Island ponds using a 75 jum mesh net. The nauplii were isolated in 2 L glass jars filled with 1 L of filtered pond water; 200 nauplii per jar. These cultures were fed twice weekly from algal stocks, and maintained with approx- imately 1 X 1 7 cells -ml ' of Chlam ydomonas sp. and 1 X 10 5 cells- ml' 1 ofEuglena sp. The copepods were reared at 9C and at a series of photoperiods in controlled environment chambers. Survival under these laboratory conditions was 40% to 60% from nauplius to adult. Raising the animals from early naupliar instars ensured more than sufficient time for the copepods to respond to the photoperiod treatments. Else- where we have shown that upon exposure to a change of day length, female D. san- guineus can alter the type of egg they produce within three clutches (Hairston and 138 N. G. HAIRSTON, JR. AND E. J. OLDS Olds, in prep.). Thus, unlike many species of insects (Beck, 1980), there is no early sensitive instar that irreversibly programs the copepod's diapause phenology. It seems likely that egg type in D. sanguineus is determined principally by females because diapausing eggs have a thick, highly structured chorion laid down by the mother whereas subitaneous eggs have a thin homogeneous chorion, and because the two egg types are provisioned differently (Hairston and Olds, 1984). Probably due to these structural differences and the physiological adjustments they imply, clutches are com- posed of either subitaneous or diapausing eggs. Mixed clutches are never made. Females do not store sperm and mating is required before each clutch can be produced. We do not know, however, what role, if any, males play in determining egg type. The photoperiods were chosen to conform with the design described in the Intro- duction (Fig. IB). Day length 9:55 corresponds to the date 25 January (sunrise to sunset), well before the switch to diapause in any of the populations. Day length 13:05 corresponds to 10 April when the Bullhead Pond population has almost com- pletely shifted to making diapausing eggs but the Ponds A and C populations still produce principally subitaneous eggs, and 14:45 corresponds to 28 May when all populations produce mainly diapausing eggs. Bullhead Pond copepods also were reared at a fourth daylength, 1 1:40 corresponding to 10 March shortly before they switch from subitaneous to diapausing eggs. The copepods were allowed to mature in the 2 L jars. Females carrying their first clutches were isolated individually in 15 ml of medium in 6-well tissue culture plates, and observed until either their eggs had hatched or they had dropped their egg sacs. The females were then placed in new 2 L jars with males and allowed to produce a second clutch. Copepods carrying their second egg clutches were reisolated in the tissue culture wells and egg hatching was again monitored. The process was continued until all females had produced three clutches. Females were pooled in 2 L jars because mating success was substantially higher in this arrangement than when males and females were isolated in small volumes of water. The procedure, however, does not permit a determination of the sequence of clutches made by individual females. Sub- itaneous and diapausing eggs cannot be distinguished under light microscopy, but we have shown previously (Hairston and Olds, 1984; Hairston and Munns, 1984) that in contrast to diapausing eggs, subitaneous eggs hatch rapidly, usually within one week after being laid. As in our earlier research, eggs that hatched within two weeks after production were designated subitaneous eggs, whereas those that had not hatched during this period were designated diapausing eggs. By these methods we established the fractions of subitaneous and diapausing eggs made by D. sanguineus from each of the three ponds when reared under the three or four experimental photoperiods. In addition, the fractions of egg types produced as first, second, and third clutches were determined independently in each treatment. RESULTS Populations of Diaptomus sanguineus from the three ponds have distinct photo- periodi responses (Fig. 2). In each case, copepods reared under short day lengths produceo significantly greater fractions of subitaneous clutches than those reared under longer phoioperiods (Ponds A and C, x 2 = 1 16.2 and 94.9 respectively, df = 2, P < .001; Bullhead Pond, x 2 = 21 1.1, df = 3, P < .001). Figure 2 illustrates both the results from the treatments described here, and those from a second experiment in which Bullhead Pond and Pond A copepods reared under winter conditions (8L: 16D, 4 1 C) produced only subitaneous eggs and those reared under summer conditions (16L:8D, 20 1C) made only diapausing eggs (Hairston and Olds, in prep.).

At day length 9:55 hours Bullhead Pond females made a greater fraction of subitaneous eggs than either Pond A or Pond C females (x 2 = 14.67 and 41.68 respectively, df =: 1, P < .001), and Pond A females made a greater fraction of subitaneous eggs than Pond C females (x 2 := 6.37, df = 1, P < .02). At longer pho- toperiods where subitaneous egg production was generally low. Bullhead Pond results differed significantly from Pond C at day length 13:05 hours (x 2 = 5.44, df : 1, P < .02), and from Pond A at day length 14:45 hours (x 2 := 3.91, df - 1, P < .05). Although others have found that diaptomid copepods tend to switch from making subitaneous eggs to diapausing eggs as they grow older (Roen, 1957; Champeau, 1970; Gehrs and Martin, 1974; Walton, 1985), and such a reproductive pattern is expected theoretically in highly variable environments (Hairston et ai, 1985; Hairston and Olds, in prep.), no clear trend of this sort is present in our results (Table I). Under a photoperiod of 9:55L both Pond A and Pond C females reduced the fraction of sub- itaneous eggs they produced in second compared to first clutches (x 2 == 6.61 and 7.89 respectively, df = 1 , P < .02), but in each case they returned to making more subitaneous eggs in their third clutches than in their second clutches. DISCUSSION Our hypothesis was that the distinct reproductive phenologies of Diaptomus san- guineus living in three Rhode Island ponds (Fig. 1 A) reflect unique adaptations to the seasonal events in those habitats. Specifically we proposed that copepods taken from different populations begin production of diapausing eggs at different times of year because they respond proximately to different photoperiods. In a broad sense the hypothesis is born out (Fig. 2), in that (1) the copepods make principally subitaneous eggs at short photoperiods and principally diapausing eggs at long photoperiods and (2) significant differences in this response pattern exist between populations. However, the change from subitaneous (nondiapausing) eggs to diapausing eggs occurs more gradually and over a much wider range of photoperiods than is consistent with the field data (cf.. Fig. 2 and Fig. IB). Furthermore, the specific photoperiods at which 140 N. G. HAIRSTON, JR. AND E. J.

Female copepods collected from Bullhead Pond carry principally subitaneous eggs until mid-March when day length exceeds 1 1.5 hours. The switch in egg types then occurs rapidly and by the end of March, at day lengths of 12.5 hours, nearly all have switched to making diapausing eggs (Fig. 1). In contrast, Bullhead Pond copepods cultured in the laboratory make a small, but significant, fraction of diapausing eggs when exposed to only about 10 hours of light (comparable to the day length on 25 January), and yet continue to make a significant fraction of subitaneous eggs at a photoperiod greater than 1 3 hours of light (comparable to the day length on 10 April). Half of the females in the field have switched to carrying diapausing eggs at a day length of 12.2 hours (or 24 March), whereas in the laboratory this point is reached much earlier at exposure to about 1 1.2 hours of light (comparable to 27 February). For Ponds A and C, the differences between the populations in nature and their behavior in the laboratory are even more striking. One half of the female copepods in Pond A have switched to making diapausing eggs when day length has reached about 14.3 hours (14 May), but in the laboratory 50% diapause lies at 10.6 hours of light (com- parable to 12 March). In Pond C, one half of the females have switched to diapause at a day length of 1 3.9 hours (29 April), whereas in the laboratory 50% diapause occurs at less than 9.9 hours of day light (comparable to 25 January). Not only do laboratory-reared D. sanguineus exhibit photoperiod responses in- consistent in timing with the patterns of reproduction recorded in the field, but the order of the responses is also incongruous (cf. Fig. IB and Fig. 2). In the natural populations, Bullhead Pond females are the first to switch to producing diapausing eggs, followed by Pond C females, and finally by those in Pond A. In the laboratory, however, Pond C copepods switch to diapause at the shortest day lengths followed by Pond A and Bullhead Pond copepods. The fact that the differences in laboratory photoperiod responses between the three populations are statistically significant (Re- DIAPAUSE IN A FRESHWATER COPEPOD 141 suits) indicates that the dissimilarities are inherent. Since all the copepods were cultured under identical laboratory conditions, environmental sources of variation were pre- sumably removed, and the populations from the three ponds apparently differ genet- ically. It is clear that the natural populations of D. sangiiineus must use environmental cues other than critical photoperiod to set the timing of diapause. The behavior observed in the laboratory, although real, represents only a single component of a more complex response pattern. Without further experimentation it is difficult to say what factors might be involved in a complete characterization of the environmental cue for the onset of diapause. The photoperiodic response of many animals is modifiable to some extent by temperature (e.g.. Beck, 1980), including the marine calanoid copepod La- bidocera aestiva studied by Marcus (1982). As spring progresses into summer, D. sangiiineus experiences both an increase in day length and an increase in water tem- perature, and one might suppose that each population is adapted to respond to a unique combination of these two environmental variables. Two difficulties with such a suggestion are ( 1 ) that exposing Pond A and C animals to a temperature abnormally low for the photoperiod used should have enhanced the production of subitaneous over diapausing eggs, but instead had the opposite effect, and (2) that even the appro- priate temperature and photoperiod combination did not produce the correct response by Bullhead Pond copepods. A third type of environmental information available to the copepods at all three ponds is the direction and rate of change of photoperiod. Tauber and Tauber (1970) have shown for a lacewing (Neuroptera) that autumnal diapause can be induced at relatively long photoperiods if the insects are exposed to decreasing rather than constant day lengths. Sensitivity to such a change in day length, were it to exist in D. sangiiineus, could explain both the rapidity and the timing of the onset of diapause. Whatever the environmental cue or cues used by the copepods to time the switch to diapause, discovering their precise nature will permit more detailed investigation of the evolutionary bases of interpopulation differences in reproductive phenology.

(August, 1986) EFFECTS OF ENRICHMENT ON REPRODUCTION IN THE OPPORTUNISTIC POLYCHAETE STREBLOSPIO BENEDICT! (WEBSTER): A MESOCOSM STUDY LISA A. LEVIN Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University. Raleigh, North Carolina 27695 ABSTRACT The influence of organic enrichment on growth and planktotrophic development of the spionid polychaete Streblospio benedicti Webster was examined in two mesocosm experiments conducted at the MERL facility. University of Rhode Island. Specimens of S. benedicti were collected and their reproductive traits monitored near the con- clusion of a two-year eutrophication experiment, and in the middle of a sludge addition experiment. Nutrient (N, P, and Si) enrichments at 8X and 32X the average aerial input into Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, resulted in increases in body length, segment number, and length per segment, and a doubling of brood size in S. benedicti females. These increases were substantially higher during May (12C) than August (20C). Enrichment effects were stronger in the 8X than 32X nutrient treatment. In the sewage sludge experiment body size increased 20% over control values at the highest (8X) sludge treatment level (nitrogen loading equivalent to the 8X nutrient treatment) but no significant increase was noted at the 4X sludge level, which received half as much nitrogen as the 8X sludge treatment. Mean brood size increased by a factor of 4.6 over controls in the 8X sludge treatment and by a factor of 2.3 in the 4X sludge treatment. Within the range of adult body sizes observed, brood size enhancement occurred independent of increased length or segment number in both nutrient and sludge en- richment treatments. The ability to translate elevated food supply directly into increased reproductive output may underly opportunistic dynamics in macrobenthos. Brood size enhancement of the magnitude observed probably contributes to the high S. be- nedicti densities found in polluted or organically enriched settings. INTRODUCTION Increased concern over pollution of harbors and bays during the 1960's and 1970's spawned interest in community structure and succession of estuarine macrofauna (reviewed in Pearson and Rosenberg, 1978). Many estuarine studies revealed life history characteristics and population dynamics in polychaetes, crustaceans, and bivalves which are defined as opportunistic (e.g., Grassle and Grassle, 1974; McCall, 1975). Life history traits associated with opportunism in macrobenthos include small size, rapid colo- nization ability, short generation time, high reproductive rate (r), and high mortality rate (Grassle and Grassle, 1974). Brood protection is also a common feature among many opportunistic polychaetes, including Capitella spp., Polydora ligni, and Stre- blospio benedicti (Grassle and Grassle, 1974; Levin, 1984a), and among peracarid crustaceans (Barnes, 1980). However, not all opportunists brood young; the bivalve Mulinia lateralis has completely planktonic development (Chanley and Andrews, 1971). Received 5 February 1986; accepted 28 May 1986. 143 144 L. A. LEVIN Opportunistic species colonize and dominate benthic assemblages during or fol- lowing bottom disturbances, such as those caused by release of sewage or industrial wastes (Reish, 1971; Boesch, 1973), dredging and spoil disposal (Oliver, 1979), nutrient additions and subsequent eutrophication (Nixon et al, 1984), oil spills (Grassle and Grassle, 1974; Sanders et al., 1980), or severe storms and hurricanes (Boesch et al, 1976; Rhoads and Boyer, 1983). Biological disturbance of sediment, such as that caused by digging activities of crabs, bottom fish, rays, or whales may also lead to colonization and persistence of opportunistic taxa (Virnstein, 1977; Van Blaricom, 1982; Levin, 1984a, Oliver and Slattery, 1985). Pearson and Rosenberg (1978) make a distinction between disturbance and en- richment opportunists. They cite Capitella spp., Streblospio benedict i, Scolelepis fu- liginosa, and dorvilleids as examples of species which colonize disturbances specifically resulting from organic enrichment. Species in the genus Streblospio, common in North America and Europe, are often numerically dominant in polluted or enriched estuarine habitats. S. benedicti recruits are typically found in caged settlement containers which trap fine organic particulates. Densities of over 100,000 individuals/m 2 have been reported in settling containers and clearings exposed for 2 weeks (McCall, 1975; Virn- stein, 1977; Levin, 1984a). Enhanced recruitment may have resulted from either active habitat selection or passive entrainment (Hannan, 1984). Streblospio is not limited to enriched or disturbed habitats. S. benedicti has been reported from most of the shallow estuaries, marshes, and mudflats studied in the United States, with the exception of some in Washington and Hawaii (Levin, 1984b). This species is often a moderate component of the background community but pop- ulation size can grow exponentially in response to disturbance. Similar behavior is documented for Capitella spp. and Polydora ligni (Pearson and Rosenberg, 1978). The mechanisms underlying opportunistic responses are just now being investi- gated. High population growth rates are thought to derive from life history character- istics while high mortality rates have been attributed to competition from later stages (Grassle and Grassle, 1974; Pearson and Rosenberg, 1978; Gallagher et al., 1983; Gallagher, pers. comm.). The dynamics of Capitella sp. I fed Gerber's cereal, was studied in the laboratory by Chesney and Tenore (1985a, b). They observed high amplitude population fluctuations in the presence and absence of induced mortality (artificial predation) over 90 weeks. High mortality occurred and they concluded that Capitella sp. I was unlikely to achieve equilibrium dynamics on its own. Based on these observations Chesney (1985) suggests that inherent life history traits (e.g., re- productive lags and a tendency to overshoot carrying capacity) rather than competition are probably responsible for population declines of opportunists observed during succession in soft sediments. However, the meiofaunal community present in these experiments (Alongi, 1985) was not considered in the interpretation of Capitella sp. I dynamics and may have influenced resource availability. The ability to rapidly translate increases in food availability to increased repro- ductive output should lead to opportunistic population dynamics, particularly if off- spring remain to further utilize the enhanced food supply. Production of more gametes and offspring, independent or instead of concomitant somatic growth (which uses energy ai> :akes time), should also enhance rapid population growth in opportunists. Eckelbarger ! n press) suggests that opportunism among polychaetes is limited to species with brief game togenic cycles, which permit numerical response to specific conditions before those conditions disappear. Spionid and capitellid polychaetes can produce mature gametes only a few weeks after initiating gametogenesis (Eckelbarger, in press). This paper examines the reproductive responses by Streblospio benedicti to different forms of organic enrichment. S. benedicti was studied in two experiments conducted STREBLOSPIO RESPONSE TO ENRICHMENT 145 in mesocosms at the Marine Ecosystems Research Laboratory (MERL), University of Rhode Island. One was a eutrophication experiment involving nutrient additions, the other involved addition of secondary sewage sludge. In an earlier paper (Levin, 1984b) I suggested that the widespread success of S. benedict! may be attributable to the occurrence of both planktotrophic and lecithotrophic modes of development in this species. The research presented here considers only 5". benedict i with planktotrophic development and examines the plasticity of reproductive traits, such as egg and brood sizes. Streblospio benedicti background Streblospio benedicti Webster (Spionidae) inhabits the upper 2-3 cm of muddy sediments and constructs ephemeral tubes of fine-grain particles. This species is both a suspension feeder and surface-deposit feeder on plankton, organic aggregates, and sediments. Rod-shaped fecal pellets are deposited outside the tube (Levin, 1981). S. benedicti exhibits both planktotrophic and lecithotrophic modes of development in North America, but only planktotrophic development has been reported for S. benedicti in Narragansett Bay and in the MERL tanks (Levin, 1984b., J. P. Grassle, pers. comm.). Oogenesis takes place in paired ovaries in anterior segments (Eckelbarger, 1980) and fertilized ova enter paired dorsal brood pouches where development proceeds. Larvae are brooded to a 3-5 setiger stage, approximately 220 /um in length. Following release from brood pouches larvae usually feed in the plankton for 10-2 1 days before settlement (Levin, 1984b). Females can release hundreds of planktotrophic larvae per brood (Levin, 1984b) and may produce as many as 14 broods in a lifetime (Levin, DePatra, and Creed, in prep.). MATERIALS AND METHODS Streblospio benedicti was sampled from the MERL mesocosms, located at the University of Rhode Island on the lower West Passage of Narragansett Bay, RI. Sam- pling was conducted on 12 May and 17 August 1983, towards the conclusion of a 2-year eutrophication experiment and on 26 July 1984 during a 3-month sewage sludge enrichment experiment. The design of the MERL mesocosms is described in Pilson et al. (1979). System-wide results of the first year of the eutrophication exper- iment are presented in Nixon et al. (1984) and preliminary results of the sludge ex- periment are described in Oviatt (1984). Methodology critical to this investigation will be reviewed here. The MERL mesocosms were 5.5m high cylindrical tanks ( 1 .83 m diameter). The tanks received seawater from Narragansett Bay at a rate sufficient to completely replace the water every 27 days. The mesocosms were mixed four times a day with rotating plungers on a schedule designed to mimic tidal currents and to resuspend bottom sediments to similar levels as in the Bay. The walls of the tanks were brushed twice a week to prevent fouling. Each tank contained a tray 2.52 m 2 X 40 cm deep filled with sediments. These sediments were collected intact from Narragansett Bay (using a 0.25 m 2 box core) between 28 April and 8 May 1981 for the eutrophication experiment. Fresh sediments were collected from central Narragansett Bay in October 1983, prior to the start of the sludge experiment. On 7 June 1984, surface sediments (to 2 cm depth) were removed from all tanks to eliminate a bloom of the tunicate Mogula manhattensis and fresh sediments from the Bay were added. Narragansett Bay sedi- ments were muddy, containing roughly 83% silt-clay at the collection site (Hunt and Smith, 1983). The dominant taxa in these sediments at the start of the eutrophication 146 L. A. LEVIN experiment were the polychaetes Mediomastus ambiseta, Poly dor a ligni, Streblospio benedicti, and Chaetozone sp., and the bivalves Nucula annulata and Yoldia limatula (Grassier/., 1985). Eutroph icatic leriment The eutrophication experiment involved daily additions of inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicon (Molar ratio 12.80:1.00:0.91) at IX, 2X, 4X, 8X, 16X, and 32X the average areal input (of sewage and runoff) to Narragansett Bay (Table I). Each of six tanks received a different enrichment level and three tanks remained as unen- riched controls. Nutrient additions began on 1 June 198 1 and continued daily through 26 September 1983. Specimens of Streblospio benedicti were collected from 2 control tanks (Nos. 5 and 8), the 8X enrichment tank (No. 1), and the 32X enrichment tank (No. 7) on 12 May and 17 August 1983, approximately 2 and 2| years from the start of the experiment. The S. benedicti adults collected must have entered the tank as larvae from Narragansett Bay or were produced by adults established within the tank sediments. They could not have been individuals collected directly from the bay at the start of the experiment, since the lifespan of S. benedicti is <12 months (Levin, DePatra, and Creed, in prep.). Average temperature in the MERL mesocosm tanks was 12-13CinMay 1 98 3 and 20-2 1C in August 1983. Because this large temperature difference could have significant effects on reproduction, I consider the two sampling dates to represent two temperature treatments rather than replicate samplings. Streblospio benedicti was collected from the upper 4 cm of MERL tank sediments using 1" diameter cylindrical cores (5.067 cm 2 , n = 5 cores/tank on each sampling date). Sediments were sieved through a 500-yum screen and all S. benedicti were sorted live under a dissecting microscope. Stage of maturity and sex were noted for all spec- imens. Females brooding young were isolated in petri dishes, anesthetized in 5% MgCl 2 , and the following reproductive traits were measured: length (mm), number of setigers, position of the first gametogenic setiger, number of ova/ovary, ovum diameter (Mm), number of brood pouches, number of larvae/brood pouch, and number of larvae/ brood.

Nutrients (N, P, and Si) were added daily to 3 tanks at IX, 4X, and 8X enrichment levels, as in the eutro- phication experiment. Primary and secondary sewage sludge from the Cranston, Rhode Island, Water Pollution Control Facility was added daily at IX, 4X, and 8X levels to generate 3 treatments which received total nitrogen at loading rates equivalent to the nutrient treatments. Three unenriched tanks served as controls. The daily enrichments began on 12 June 1984 and were terminated on 22 September 1984. Streblospio benedicti was sampled in 2" diameter cores ( 1 7.57 cm 2 X 4 cm deep) from the 4X and 8X nutrient tanks, the 4X and 8X sludge tanks, and 3 control tanks on 26 July 1984. Five to eleven cores were collected from each tank though time did not permit pro- cessing of all cores. Sediments were sieved and S. benedicti was sorted and measured as described for the eutrophication experiment. J. P. Grassle provided density data for S. benedicti collected the preceding day using 1" diameter cores (5.067 cm 2 X 4 cm deep) and a 300-jum screen (Grassle and Grassle, 1984; Grassle et al, 1985). Few reproductive S. benedicti were found in the 1984 nutrient enrichment tanks, so only the sludge enrichment and control treatments are considered here. Statistical analyses Statistical tests were carried out with SAS software (Ray, 1 982). All analyses except for regressions of brood size on adult length and setiger number were performed on untransformed data. One-way ANOVAs were used to analyze effects of enrichment level on S. benedicti densities in the eutrophication and sludge experiments. A two- way ANOVA and a SNK a posteriori test were performed to evaluate effects of en- richment level and month on female length, segment number, the first gametogenic setiger, ovum diameter, and numbers of ova/ovary, paired brood pouches, larvae/ brood pouch, and larvae/brood in the eutrophication experiment. Effects of sludge level on these same parameters were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA and SNK test. A comparison was made of all 9 enrichment treatments across experiments, (May 1983, August 1983, and July 1984) using a one-way ANOVA and a SNK test for each reproductive character. Data from the eutrophication and sludge experiments were combined to determine Pearson product-moment correlations between reproductive traits. Brood size data from the eutrophication and sludge experiments were log trans- formed to satisfy least-squares assumptions prior to performing regressions of brood size on adult length and on setiger number. Homogeneity of variances was examined using F tests to compare error mean squares from regressions for individual treatments. No departures from homogeneity were observed within each experiment. Regressions of log brood size on both adult length and on setiger number were performed across enrichment levels (separately in the eutrophication and sludge experiments), allowing for different intercepts and slopes. RESULTS Eutrophication experiment Streblospio benedicti densities in each enrichment treatment are shown in Table II for samples collected in May and August 1983. In May S. benedicti exhibited no density difference among enrichment levels (F 3 16 = 1.92, P > 0.05). Mean densities in all treatments ranged from 2.8 to 9.6 individuals/5.07 cm 2 core (5,600 to 19,200 148 L. A.

Three months later, in August, the 8X and 32X enrichment tanks exhibited mean densities equivalent to 25.6 and 31.0 individuals/core respectively (51,200 and 62,000 individuals/m 2 ). These values were significantly higher than control values in August, but not different from each other (F 3 , 14 == 7.81, P < 0.005). On both sampling dates at least 50% of the females collected in each treatment were brooding larvae (Table II). The two control (OX) tanks, sampled in May, exhibited between-tank differences in number of ova/ovary (x == 6.2 in tank 8 vs. x = 4.2 in tank 5, one-way ANOVA, P = 0.007). However, there was no significant difference in brood size. May reproductive data from the two control tanks were pooled in analyses of enrichment level effects. Mean values of female reproductive traits are given for S. benedicti at OX, 8X, and 32X enrichments in May and at 8X and 32X enrichments in August in Table III. Unfortunately, only two reproductive females were found in the control (OX) tanks in August, so analysis of food level effects for August does not include the OX treatment. During May, female body length was significantly greater in the 8X and 32X enrichment tanks than in the controls (P = 0.0087), but in both May and August, body length did not differ between the 8X and 32 X treatments. The number of setigers was significantly greater in 8X than control treatments during May (P = 0.0304), but no difference in setiger number was observed between the 32X treatment and controls in May or between 8X and 32 X treatments in both May and August. Between-month comparisons of body size, for 8X and 32X treatments, suggest that in August there was a decrease in body length (P = 0.0090) but no accompanying change in segment number (Table III, Fig. 1 ). Length per segment was greater in May than August in enrichec .anks. Females sampled in August may have been younger, summer recruits, while the j ?,er individuals sampled in May probably overwintered in the tanks. As one spends to treatments other traits may be constrained to follow, thus correlations among reproductive characters must be considered in interpretation of treatment eftec Measures of body size (length and setiger number) were positively correlated with numbers of ova per ovary (r = .55 for length, r = .44 for setiger number), total number of paired brood pouches (r = .73, r = .82), number of larvae per brood pouch (r ; = .52, r = .36), and number of larvae per brood (r = .69, r = .61) STREBLOSPIO RESPONSE TO ENRICHMENT TABLE III Reproductive traits of Streblospio benedicti in the A1ERL eutrophication experiment 149 12 May 1983 17 August 1985 2-way ANOVA Ox 8x 32x 8x 32x x(S.D.) x(S.D.) x(S.D.) x(S.D.) x(S.D.)

Numbers of ova and larvae were also highly correlated with one another (r = .6 1 ), thus we might expect to see them respond in identical fashion to food and temperature (month) treatments. Body size was not correlated with egg size or with position of the first gametogenic setiger (Table IV). Both enrichment level and month (temperature) had significant effects on ovum number (P = 0.0002 for food, P = 0.001 1 for month), numbers of larvae per brood pouch (P = 0.001 1, P = 0.0021) and brood size (P = 0.0001, P = 0.0002) (Table III). Ovum size and position of the 1st gametogenic setiger were unaffected (Table III). During May the mean number of larvae produced per brood was 167% higher than 150 L. A.

NS = not significant. association between body size and fecundity raises the possibility that the increases in brood size observed in May enrichment treatments (8X and 32 X) resulted solely from increases in body size. To examine this possibility, log brood size was regressed on both adult length and on setiger number, across enrichment levels. Both regressions yielded r 2 values > 0.995. Tests for differences among slopes across enrichment levels were significant (P < 0.0001 ) for regressions of log brood size on setiger number (F 3 46 = 24.5) and length (F 3i47 = 23.5). However, fitted lines for the three enrichment levels did not intersect within the range of observed setiger numbers (8X values > 32X > OX). The OX and 32X treatment lines crossed only at the very largest adult lengths observed. Predicted brood sizes for the 8X treatment were greater than those for the OX and 32X treatments within the entire range of body sizes observed. Thus, though the regression lines for each enrichment level were not parallel, their intersection took place at biologically meaningless (unrealistically large) body and brood sizes. A between-month comparison shows significantly (P == 0.0002) smaller broods were produced in August (Table III, Fig. 3). Brood sizes were less than half those observed in May; mean brood size was 132 for the 8X treatment and 68 for the 32X treatment. Sewage sludge experiment The mean density of S. benedicti was considerably lower in the control (OX en- richment) tanks [x = 4.63 individuals/ 17 cm 2 core (2,635/m 2 )] than in the 4X_sludge treatment [x = 60 individuals/core (34,140/m 2 )] or the 8X sludge treatment [x = 22 individuals/core (12,51 5/m 2 )] (F 4 , 10 =: 17.01, P< 0.001) on 26 July 1984, one month into the sewage experiment (Table V). Density estimates based on two 1" cores per tank provided by J. P. Grassle were 4-5 times higher than those from the 2" diameter cores (due to use of a finer mesh for processing sediment), but yielded consistent differences among treatments (Table V). One control tank (No. 3) produced all except one of the control females brooding young. Fifty-five percent of females were brooding in that control tank, 88% were brooding in the 4X sludge treatment, and 85% were brooding in the 8X sludge treatment (Table V). 152 L. A.

Evaluation of enrichment level effects on female traits indicate that female length (P = 0.0319) and number of setigers (P = 0.0244) were significantly greater in the 8X sludge treatment than in the 4X and OX treatments, which did not differ from one another (Table VI). Females in the 8X sludge treatment also produced more ova/ ovary (P = 0.0002), more larvae per brood pouch (P = 0.0005), and more larvae per brood (P = 0.0001) than the other two treatments, which did not differ significantly from one another (Table VI).

The only trait for which the 4X sludge treatment differed from the control wa in the total number of paired brood pouches (P - 0.0004). As in the eutrophication experiment, position of the first gametogenic segment and ovum size were not affected by sludge level.

Tests for differences among slopes across sludge levels were significant for regressions of log brood size on setiger number (F 3 35 = 14.59, P < 0.0001) and on length (F 3 , 36 = 20.50, P < 0.0001). However, fitted lines for the three sludge levels did not intersect within the range of observed adult segment numbers or body lengths. For all sizes of worms capable of reproducing, predicted brood sizes were greater in the 8X sludge treatment than in the 4X sludge treatment, and both were greater than those in the OX sludge treatment.

Comparison of the eutrophication and sewage sludge experiments A comparison was made of all nine treatments (3 nutrient levels in May 1983, 2 nutrient levels in August 1983, and 3 sludge levels in July 1984) for each reproductive character (Table VII). May 1983 and July 1984 unenriched controls showed no sig- nificant difference in any trait except position of the first gametogenic setiger (Table VII). S. benedicti from the 8X nutrient addition in May 1983, were most similar to the < sludge addition in July 1984. These treatments produced adults which were significantly longer, had more segments, more brood pouches, and greater brood size than the May 1983 and July 1984 controls. The 4X sludge treatment and May 32X nutrient addition generally exhibited the next highest values for these traits, but did not always fer significantly from control values. Females produced significantly larger broods in the 8X sludge treatment than in any other treatment.

Each treatment exhibited its own benthic dynamics throughout the experiments. Some tanks evolved oxygen stress in response to nutrient loadings or high densities of competitors or predators while others did not (J. P. Grassle, pers. comm.; Frithsen et al, 1985). Within a treatment, ma- crofaunal community composition varied greatly from year to year (Frithsen et al., 1985). However, several benthic species exhibited essentially linear responses to level of nutrient additions after the first summer of the eutrophication experiment (Grassle and Grassle, 1984; Grassle et al., 1985). To understand responses of S. benedicti it is necessary to consider both biotic and abiotic influences on reproduction. During the eutrophication experiment in both May and August 1983, the length, segment number, egg production, and brood size of S. benedicti in the 32X enrichment treatment fell below those of the 8X enrichment tank (Table III). Despite a four-fold increase in nutrient loading, it appears that 5". bened 1 id not respond in the 32X treatment. Intraspecific competition has been shown iv. luence somatic growth and reproductive allocation in benthic invertebrates (Peterson, 1 : Zajac, 1985). However, there was no detectable difference between S. benedicti dc, ssties in the 8X and 32X treatments throughout the spring and summer of 1983 (Tabli . P. Grassle, pers. comm.; J. Frithsen, pers. comm.). The density of Polydora ligni, a potential competitor, was extremely high in the 32X treatment during that period. P. ligni abundance was 5.7 times higher than S. benedicti in April (x = 56,246 vs. 9,868/rn 2 ), 10.6 times higher in May (x = 1 14,860 vs. 10,854/m 2 ), 8.7 STREBLOSPIO RESPONSE TO ENRICHMENT 157 times higher in June (x = 1 86,698 vs. 2 1 ,5 1 2/m 2 ), and 4.2X higher in July (x = 262,482 vs. 62,167/m 2 ). P. ligni densities were consistently lower than S. benedicti in the 8X enrichment tank during those months (J. P. Grassle, pers. comm.; J. Frithsen, pers. comm.). The 32X enrichment tank experienced anoxic conditions between 29 July and 3 August 1983 (Frithsen et al, 1985). P. ligni densities in this tank declined. Following this event, S. benedicti increased to 346,359 individuals/m 2 by September, the highest density observed for this species during the 3-year experiment. Mulinia lateralis was consistently abundant in this treatment throughout the summer and fall of 1983 (Frithsen, pers. comm.). P. ligni and 5. benedicti were among the species which demonstrated the greatest numerical response to nutrient enrichment in 1983 and sewage enrichment in 1984. Both species filter organic particles from the water column and feed on surface deposits. Frithsen and Doering (submitted) showed that these two species can increase net sedimentation when they reach high abundances. P. ligni is larger than S. benedicti, has longer palps (pers. obs.), is more aggressive (Levin, 1981; Whitlatch, pers. comm.), and could easily outcompete S. benedicti for food at the densities observed in the 32 X enrichment tank. These interactions may have contributed to the small size and lower fecundity exhibited by S. benedicti in the 32 X treatment relative to the 8X enrichment. In addition, oxygen stress might have produced decreases in reproductive output. A similar anoxic event occurred in mid September, 1984, when the 8X sludge treatment went anoxic and all benthos died. Just prior to the anoxia S. benedicti had been the numerical dominant. Unfortunately, no reproductive data were collected at that time. Temperature may influence the magnitude of the reproductive response given by 6". benedicti to organic enrichment. At low temperatures in May 1983 ( 12C), increased food supply led to increases in size of reproducing females (Fig. 1) and to increased brood size independent of body size (Figs. 2a, b). In August, when temperatures had risen to 20C, enrichment effects were reflected in level of reproductive activity. Few or no reproductive females were collected in control tanks. In the 8X and 32X en- richments, reproductive activity was high but body size and brood size were comparable to May control levels (Table II). Younger ages of females, due to recruitment during the summer, and response to increased metabolic demands at higher temperature or lower oxygen levels, may have been responsible. In addition, six- to seven-fold increases in S. benedicti density (Table II) may have intensified intraspecific competition and resulted in lower brood sizes than observed in May. In laboratory manipulations of temperature and food regimes. Levin and Creed (in press) found that body size and brood size of North Carolina 5". benedicti with planktotrophic development increased in response to cooler temperatures. In that study food level had no effect on quantitative reproductive characters but lower food levels decreased the proportion of females which reproduced. The experiment did not examine competition for food. S. benedicti appears to have the ability to translate enhanced food supplies directly into increased reproductive output. Utilization of heterosynthetic yolk sources during vitellogenesis, by sequestering materials from the circulatory system (Eckelbarger, 1980), may be one means by which S. benedicti can transfer food rapidly and directly into eggs and offspring. This capability may be essential to opportunists which depend on ephemeral resources and which, through utilization of these resources, may even contribute to their own demise. S. benedicti with planktotrophic development mature rapidly. They disperse their young during a 10-2 1 day larval planktonic phase (Levin, 1984b) and thus are not dependent on temporal persistence of a specific habitat. Food quality, particularly nitrogen content, may regulate polychaete growth and reproduction (Tenore, 1977; Tenore and Chesney, 1985). Nutrient addition treatments in the eutrophication experiment and sewage treatments in the sludge experiment 158 L. A. LEVIN exhibited elevated chlorophyll levels, and enhanced phytoplankton concentrations (Nixon et al, 1984; J. Maugham, pers. comm.). The combination of sewage sludge and a rich phytoplankton supply clearly represents a high quality food source for S. benedicti. The 2-5-fold increases in brood size exhibited in the 8X and 4X sludge tanks (relative to controls) far surpass the increases observed in the nutrient enrichment treatments the previous year. In studies of the benthic dynamics in the nutrient and sludge treatments during summer 1984, Maughan (in prep.) found that S. benedicti densities increased in the sludge treatments but not in the nutrient treatments. Phy- toplankton production was also lower in the nutrient treatments during summer 1984 and Maughan (in prep.) suggests that filtering activities of the abundant amphipods, molluscs, and polychaetes in these tanks were responsible. By August 1984 5". benedicti had also attained very high densities in the IX sewage treatment (J. Maugham, in prep.). Percent organic carbon in the top cm of sediment of the 1 X, 4X, and 8X sludge treatments during August (3.58, 2.52, and 2.92, respectively) was higher than in control tanks (2.16-2.26) or the IX, 4X, and 8X nutrient treatments (2.05, 2.19, and 2.58, respectively). These data suggest that at equivalent loadings, the sewage yielded more food for deposit feeders than the nutrient additions. Other constituents of the sewage sludge, which were not present in the nutrient addition tanks, may have stimulated recruitment, growth, or reproduction in S. benedicti. Streblospio benedicti response to organic enrichment in the form of rapid, large increases in brood size is not surprising, and may demonstrate one reproductive tactic underlying opportunistic population dynamics. The calanoid copepods Acartia tonsa and A. hudsonica responded to nutrient enrichments with increases in daily egg pro- duction, maximum length and dry weight (Sullivan and Ritacco, 1985). However, these increases were often not reflected in zooplankton abundance while increased brood size in 5". benedicti was accompanied by elevated benthic densities. The poly- chaete response to food may also explain why we often see strong seasonal cycles in S. benedicti populations which actively reproduce all year (e.g., Levin, 1984a). Increases in brood size during periods of increased food availability or cooling temperatures (Levin and Creed, in press) may cause dramatic recruitment peaks. It is not known whether the increased brood size exhibited by the small individuals in the sewage sludge tanks were accompanied by a decrease in reproductive output later in life. Release of larvae earlier rather than later in life is certainly adaptive for an opportunistic species. More work is needed to determine exactly what triggers population explosions in opportunistic species and how these explosions are achieved. In the case of enrich- ment opportunists such as S. benedicti, organic particulates are rapidly converted into both somatic tissue and offspring and order of magnitude increases in larval production may result.

(August, 1986) LABORATORY EVIDENCE FOR A SIZE REFUGE IN COMPETITIVE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE HYDROIDS HYDR.4CTINIA ECHINATA (FLEMMING) AND PODOCORYNE CARNEA (SARS) CATHERINE S. MCFADDEN* Department of Biology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06511 ABSTRACT Size refugia from competition, whereby one organism may grow too large to sub- sequently be overgrown by a superior spatial competitor, have rarely been documented in marine benthic communities. Size-symmetrical and size-asymmetrical competitive interactions were established between colonies of two hermit crab-associated hydroids, Hydractinia echinata and Podocoryne carnea, to assess the outcome of competition for space between the two species and its possible size-dependence. In size-symmetrical interspecific contests, P. carnea overgrew and killed H. echinata in 100% of 74 observed encounters. In size-asymmetrical contests in which H. echinata was always the larger colony, P. carnea was able to overgrow H. echinata in only 55% of 76 contests. H. echinata reaches a size refuge from overgrowth by P. carnea, but this "safe" size depends on the position occupied by a colony of H. echinata on a substrate with respect to physical or biological barriers to growth. The outcome of intraspecific competition for space between P. carnea colonies depends on the relative growth rates of the competitors. In 23 intraspecific contests, the P. carnea colony with the highest rate of stolonal growth was always competitively dominant, and also overgrew H. echinata most rapidly in the size-symmetrical inter- specific encounters. The ability of P. carnea to overgrow H. echinata in size-asym- metrical contests, however, did not depend on the growth rate of the P. carnea colony. Data on the distribution and abundance of these two species suggest that P. carnea recruits to hermit crab shells at a low frequency and is thus a rare member of the hermit crab epifaunal community. The observed differences in interspecific competitive ability may reflect asymmetry in the frequencies with which these species encounter one another. The probability that a colony of H. echinata will encounter P. carnea is low, hence there will be little selection for interspecific competitive ability in H. echin- ata. The probability that a colony of P. carnea will encounter the common H. echinata is high; P. carnea, therefore, should maintain a mechanism for recognizing and ov- ergrowing this important spatial competitor. INTRODUCTION The outcome of interactions between organisms does not remain constant throughout their lives. Encounters between competitors or between predator and prey may be sensitive to the relative sizes of the interacting individuals, and the effect one species has on another consequently may change throughout the ontogeny of those species (Buss, 1980; Werner and Gilliam, 1984). The dependence of many predator- prey interactions on prey size has been well documented in marine benthic commu- nities: prey organisms which by chance escape predation when small may eventually Received 4 February 1986; accepted 6 May 1986. * Present address: Department of Zoology NJ-15, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195. 161 162 C. S. MCFADDEN grow too large to be consumed by a given predator (Ebling et ai, 1964; Paine, 1965, 1976; Dayton, 1971; Birkeland, 1974; Connell, 1975). The ability of some individuals in a population t :ch a size refuge from predation may contribute significantly to the maintenance : community diversity and structure (Connell, 1975; Paine, 1976, 1977). Few studies have examined how the outcome of competitive interactions between species may change as the relative sizes of the competing individuals vary. In several examples with colonial marine invertebrates, the direction of interspecific overgrowth has been shown to depend on the size (thickness) of the competing colonies: species A usually overgrows species B when A is larger, and vice versa (Day, 1977; Buss, 1980; Russ, 1982). Size refugia, where an individual of species B eventually reaches a size at which an individual of species A will be unable to overgrow it, may occur when the outcome of competition between two species is size-dependent (Buss, 1980). Size refugia from competition in benthic marine communities have been demonstrated by Buss (1980), in a system involving two bryozoans and a coralline alga in Panama, and by Sebens (1982), in a study of competition between the soft coral, Alcyonium siderium, and the compound tunicate, Aplidiwn pallidum, in the Gulf of Maine. In this study, I provide evidence for another example of an inferior spatial competitor, the athecate hydroid Hydractinia echinata (Hemming), reaching a size at which it can no longer be overgrown by an otherwise competitive dominant, the closely related hydroid, Podocoryne carnea (Sars). In Long Island Sound and other Atlantic soft-bottom coastal areas, pagurid hermit crabs are extremely abundant, and the gastropod shells they occupy represent a source of hard substratum which supports a unique encrusting fauna (Karlson and Cariolou, 1982; Karlson and Shenk, 1983). Hydractinia echinata is one of the most common epifaunal species found on pagurid shells in Long Island Sound; Podocoryne carnea is present at much lower frequencies in this community. H. echinata and P. carnea display aggression towards one another, and in a previous examination of interspecific competitive ability P. carnea was shown to overgrow H. echinata consistently (Gallien and Govaere, 1974). However, all interactions examined were grossly size-asymmet- rical, with a small explant of H. echinata placed in contact with a large P. carnea colony. This particular combination of colony sizes is only one of many conditions under which colonies may contact one another in natural encounters. The outcome of interspecific competition for space between H. echinata and P. carnea is examined further here, in both size-symmetrical and Hydractinia-biased size-asymmetrical in- teractions, to determine if P. carnea remains the superior spatial competitor across a range of size-specific encounters. Natural history Although the zooid morphology differs little between the genera (Goette, 1916; Mills, 1976), P. carnea and H. echinata display different patterns of basal tissue growth across a substratum. Growth of a colony of//, echinata is regulated by two interacting processes elongation of stolons and expansion of ectodermal mat tissue (Fig. la). Stolons branc h and anastomose to form intricate networks adherent to the substratum. Mat tissue, \ ch consists of interconnecting gastrovascular canals and interstitial cells sandwiL i between ectoderm, grows as a continuous sheet. As the mat tissue expands, it inc /orates existing stolons into its structure. The interaction of the growth rates of mat tis i r- and stolons, combined with factors such as stolon branching fre- quency, give each colony of H. echinata a characteristic growth morphology during ontogeny (McFadden et ai, 1984). There is considerable genetic variation in stolon SIZE REFUGE FROM COMPETITION 163 FIGURE 1. Camera lucida tracings of 17-day-old colonies, comparing the growth morphology of H. echinata (A) with that of P. earned (B). H. echinata produces mat tissue (stippled area) and stolons during colony ontogeny, while P. carnea covers the substratum with a stolon network only. Asterisks indicate the positions of feeding polyps. Scale bars = 5 mm. production: colony morphologies range from "stolonless" colonies which produce little or no stolon tissue as they grow, to "stoloniferous" colonies which form extensive stolon networks throughout colony ontogeny (Schijfsma, 1939; McFadden et al, 1984). Unlike H. echinata, P. carnea produces no mat tissue, but covers the substratum with an extensive stolon network (Fig. Ib). This network increases in density by con- tinued proliferation of stolons; adjacent stolons eventually fuse laterally to form a basal crust analogous to the mat of//, echinata (Braverman, 1963, 1971, 1974; Brav- erman and Schrandt, 1966, 1969). The hyperplastic growth reaction which occurs when genetically unrelated colonies of H. echinata contact one another is described in detail elsewhere (Hauenschild, 1954, 1956; Mueller, 1964;Ivker, 1972; Buss et al., 1984). Briefly, nematocyst-bearing hyperplastic stolons arising from both colonies intertwine to form an extensive tangle in the area of contact (Buss et al., 1984), and one colony will eventually overgrow and kill the other (Ivker, 1972). Competitive dominance is strictly transitive (Ivker, 1972), and highly correlated with growth morphology; in size-symmetrical encounters, col- onies with high stolonal growth rates ("stoloniferous") predictably defeat colonies with slowly growing or no stolons ("stolonless") (Buss and Grosberg, in prep.). The competitive overgrowth reaction of P. carnea is very similar to that of //. echinata (Tardent and Buhrer, 1982). Upon contact with a conspecific, stolons raise off the substratum and arch over the neighboring colony, producing a tangle of hyperplastic stolons in the area of contact. Scanning electron micrographs of P. carnea hyperplastic stolons show numerous discharged nematocyst threads, indicating that intraspecific overgrowth occurs by the same mechanism in the two genera. Transitivity and morphological correlates of intraspecific competitive ability between colonies of P. carnea will be examined briefly here, prior to discussion of interspecific competition. MATERIALS AND METHODS The colonies of //. echinata and P. carnea used in laboratory competition exper- iments were collected in August 1981 from the shallow subtidal (-3 m) gravel-mud bottom adjacent to No Man's Island, Old Quarry Harbor, Guilford, Connecticut. Individuals of Pagurus longicarpus with hydroid-encrusted shells were collected as 164 C. S. MCFADDEN encountered using SCUBA and were transported to the laboratory, where small pieces of ectodermal tissue c ,v,-, mining 1-3 feeding polyps were excised from each shell. These tissue explants v, ced on Plexiglas culture slides and held down by a loop of thread tied arou> ihe slide (Ivker, 1972). After 2-3 days, explants attached to the Plexiglas, and th< thread was removed. This technique was used for all clonal prop- agations reiern j to in this paper. Colonies were maintained at approximately 20C in recirculating natural seawater, and were fed for 2 h daily with day-old Anemia nauplii. Colonies were returned to clean seawater immediately after each feeding. Each slide was brushed weekly with a fine camePs-hair paintbrush to prevent the accumulation of growth-inhibiting detritus. The use of clonal organisms facilitates an examination of size-specific competitive interactions, because encounters between individuals of the same genotype can easily be replicated over a wide range of size relationships. The competitive ability of an individual which is killed by a competitor when small can nonetheless be examined when the same individual is large by using a clonal replicate, whereas the competitive ability of a non-clonal organism which is killed when small can never be assessed at a larger size. In addition, the degree to which the outcome of a competitive interaction is due to genotypic variation in the competitive ability of the individuals involved can be separated from strictly size-dependent effects by pairing any one individual (ge- notype) with numerous competitor genotypes. Int rasped fie competition between colonies of P. carnea Size-symmetrical competitive interactions were initiated between all possible pair- wise combinations of four genotypes of P. carnea (labeled PI, P2, P3, P4). [The as- sumption has been made that each field-collected colony represents a unique genotype; potential difficulties with this assumption are discussed in detail in McFadden et al. (1984).] Single polyp explants of each of two colonies were established approximately 2 cm apart on Plexiglas slides and allowed to grow into contact with one another. The number of replicates of each pairwise combination varied from 2 to 6, due to difficulties experienced getting explants of some genotypes to attach successfully to slides. The interactions were observed at approximately weekly intervals until tissue of one of the two colonies could no longer be discerned on the slide. In addition, three replicate clones of each of the four genotypes were established as controls to determine colony morphology and growth rate in the absence of competitive interactions. Each control colony was traced at 3-day intervals over a period of 1 7 days, using a camera lucida attachment to a Wild dissecting microscope at 7.5 X. Drawings were digitized using an image analysis system [Measuronics Corp., Linear Measuring Set (LMS)] to de- termine total length of stolons present at each date. Cumulative growth curves were plotted for each colony, and the slope of the linear regression of the log-transformed curve [log (mm stolon) = m log (time)] was used as an index of stolon growth rate. For further discussion of this method for fitting growth curves, see McFadden et al. (1984). Interspet Competition: size-symmetrical contests Size-symmetrical contests were initiated between 20 genotypes of H. echinata (labeled H1-H20) and 4 genotypes of P. carnea (P1-P4) in all 80 possible pairwise combinations. Single polyp explants of each species were established 1 cm apart on Plexiglas slides and the interaction of the two colonies was observed at approximately weekly intervals until one colony had completely overgrown the other. Overgrowth SIZE REFUGE FROM COMPETITION 165 was considered complete when no polyps remained in one of the two colonies. Several colonies died before contact had occurred, including all four replicates of HI 4; these pairs have been eliminated from the results. Size-asymmetrical contests Size-asymmetrical contests were established between clones of the same 20 ge- notypes of H. echinata and 4 genotypes of P. carnea. Single polyp explants of H. echinata were established on Plexiglas slides and allowed to grow undisturbed for a period of six weeks. At this time they were photographed to record size and general growth morphology, and a single polyp explant of P. carnea was then established approximately 1 cm from the periphery (mat edge or outermost stolons) of the H. echinata colony. All four clones of genotype H10 appeared unhealthy at the time P. carnea was introduced onto the slides and they were therefore eliminated from the experiment. The interspecific interactions were observed over a period of seven months, at which time the experiment was terminated. Photographs taken of the H. echinata colonies at the time of attachment of the P. carnea explants were converted to line drawings using a camera lucida on a Wild dissecting microscope at 7.5 X (McFadden et ai, 1984). The area of mat tissue and area covered by stolon network (the polygon determined by connecting the free tips of all stolons) were then digitized using an Apple II graphics tablet to yield estimates of the size and morphology of each H. echinata colony just prior to contact with P. carnea. RESULTS Intraspecific competition between P. carnea colonies The outcome of intraspecific competition between colonies of P. carnea is highly transitive, and can be predicted by stolon growth rate (Table I). P3, the colony with the fastest stolon growth rate, is the competitive dominant; PI, the colony with the slowest growth rate, is consistently overgrown by all other genotypes. Out of 23 contests, the only outcome which deviates from this dominance hierarchy is one of the 3 contests between genotypes P3 and P4.

The amount c j > ne required for one P. carnea colony to overgrow another depends only on the identity of the losing colony in the contest (Table I; Kruskal-Wallis, within rows, P < .0 1 }. nd not on the identity of the
