    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die licht- und elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchung der Prosomadrüsen der Spinnmilben Bryobia praetiosa, Bryobia rubrioculus und Tetranychus urticae (Tetranychidae, Trombidiformes) erbrachte die folgenden Ergebnisse 1. Im Prosoma liegen eine unpaare Tracheendruse mit eigenem Ausführgang und drei paarige Drüsen, die über einen gemeinsamen Sammelkanal, den podocephalischen Kanal, entleert werden. Zwei der podocephalischen Drüsen, die ventrale und die dorsale podocephalische Drüse, sind acinös, die dritte tubulös. 2. Die tubuläre Drüse ist eine Coxaldrüse. Sie haft sich in drei Abschnitte gliedern: proximalen Tubulus, Zwischenstuck and distalen Tubulus. Die einzelnen Abschnitte zeigen die fur transportaktive Zellen charakteristischen Feinstrukturen wie apikale Einstülpüngen und basale Zellwandeinfaltungen in unterschiedlichem Maße. Ein Sacculus ist nicht nachweisbar. 3. Die acinösen podocephalischen Drüsen enthalten zahlreiche Protein- Granula. Sie zeigen die feinstrukturellen Besonderheiten, die für proteinsynthetisierende Zellen typisch sind: große Nucleoli, große Mengen von Ribosomen, die bei der dorsalen Drüse meist an ER gebunden sind, während sie bei der ventralen vorwiegend frei im Cytoplasma liegen. 4. Die Tracheendrüse setzt sich aus zahlreichen Zellen zusammen, die untereinander durch Ausläufer stark verschränkt sind. In den Zellen liegen kleine helle Sekreteinschlüsse. 5. Neben den genannten Drüsen besitzt Tetranychus urticae ein weiteres Paar großer, einzelliger Drüsen, die an der Pedipalpenspitze ausmunden. Die Drüsenzellen sind fast völlig von großen Vakuolen ausgefiillt, die ebenfalls ein Eiweißsekret enthalten. 6. Diese Drüse ist die Spinndrüse. Ihr Sekret wird als Faden mit Hilfe einer hohlen Borste an jeder Pedipalpenspitze abgegeben. Drüse and Borste fehlen den nichtspinnenden Bryobia praetiosa und Bryobia rubrioculus.
    Notes: Summary The prosomal glands of the spider mites Bryobia praetiosa, Bryobia rubrioculus and Tetranychus urticae (Tetranychidae, Trombidiformes) were investigated with the light and electron microscopes. The following results were obtained: 1. An unpaired tracheal gland with its own secretory duct and three paired glands with a common duct, the podocephalic canal, are found in the prosoma. Two of the podocephalic glands, the ventral and dorsal, are acinous; the third is tubulous. 2. The tubular gland is a coxal gland. It can be divided into three parts: proximal tubule, intercalated segment and distal tubule. The individual parts exhibit to varying degrees the fine structure characteristic of transport-active cells, e.g. apical and basal invaginations. A saccule is not present. 3. The acinous podocephalic glands contain numerous protein granules. The secretory cells exhibit the fine structure which characterizes protein-secreting cells: big nucleoli, large amounts of ribosomes, which in the dorsal gland are usually attached to ER-membranes but occur freely in the cytoplasm of the ventral gland. 4. The tracheal gland consists of numerous cells, which are connected laterally by numerous interdigitations. The cytoplasm contains small pale secretory inclusions. 5. In addition to the above glands, Tetranychus urticae possesses an additional pair of large unicellular glands that open out at the tip of the pedipalpus. The glandular cells are almost completely filled with large vacuoles, which also contain a proteinaceous secretory product. 6. This gland is the silk gland. Its secretory product forms a thread which extends from the tip of each pedipalpus with the aid of a hollow hair. Gland and hair are absent in Bryobia praetiosa and B. rubrioculus which do not form webs.

    Notes: Abstract The morphological alterations of hepatocytes of female zebrafish,Brachydanio rerio, and fingerling rainbow trout,Salmo gairdneri, following prolonged exposure to 0.04, 0.2 and 1 mg/L of 4-chloroaniline were investigated by means of light and electron microscopy. Changes in peroxisomes were visualized by cytochemical demonstration of catalase activity after incubation in the alkaline diaminobenzidine medium. The amount of storage products was illustrated by the silver impregnation technique. In a dose-dependent manner, the reaction of female zebrafish liver is characterized by a disturbance of hepatocytic compartmentation, progressive fenestration and fractionation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), a decrease in the number of peroxisomes and catalase activity, stratified inclusions in mitochondria, and an augmentation of lysosomes and myelinated bodies. Trout hepatocytes display nuclear inclusions, fractionation and vesiculation of the RER, and an increase in mitochondria, but a decrease of peroxisomes and catalase activity. Whereas glycogen stores are exhausted at 1 mg/L 4-chloroaniline, lipid deposits are amplified. An elevated rate of hepatocytic mitosis as well as the occurrence of glycogen-condensing cells probably derived from hepatocytes indicate the induction of proliferative processes in trout liver. Evaluation and comparison of results with earlier reports suggest that despite the unspecificity of some alterations the combination of pathological symptoms yields a syndrome specific of the species and the substance studied. As a consequence, histological and cytological investigations are recommended as a routine supplement in an integrated test schedule for the assessment of sublethal effects of pollutants in the aquatic environment.

    Notes: Summary In five diplopod species from three families collected from locations with different soil metal contents, the following parameters were examined: the litter mass (and energy) ingested per day, the mass (and energy) assimilation rates, and the litter mass (and energy) assimilated per day, when the diplopods were fed (1) uncontaminated and (2) artificially lead-enriched leaf litter. These parameters were compared between species and between animals from different sites. The mass and energy assimilation efficiencies depend on (1) the size of the species and (2) the collection site of the animals. Relative mass (and in three of the species examined also energy) assimilation was highest in those animals collected from the less contaminated sites. With artificial diets, specimens from a site with soil contaminated by heavy metals showed greater assimilation of both mass and energy than originally unaffected specimens. One species (Glomeris conspersa) was able to compensate for the low assimilation rate by increased consumption, and thus guarantee a sufficient energy supply. One of the other species (Polydesmus denticulatus), however, did not show this compensation. Animals of this species from less contaminated sites showed a very low absolute energy assimilation rate and high mortality under lead treatment.

    Notes: Abstract The distribution of glycosaminoglycans and fibrillar collagen was studied in various tissues of priapulids, which represent an ancient group of mFine metazoa. Sulphated glycosaminoglycans, as demonstrated at the electron microscopical level by Cupromeronic blue, were predominantly found in the cuticle, in basement membranes and also in the narrow connective tissue space below epidermis and anterior intestine. On the basis of their morphology the Cupromeronic blue precipitates could be divided into several groups. Fibrillar collagen occurred in the connective tissue under the epidermis and the epithelium of the anterior intestine. The spatial interrelationship between fibrillar collagen and glycosaminoglycans lacked with some exceptions, the high regularity found in connective tissues of other invertebrates and of vertebrates. This might be related to the special skeletal system of priapulids, consisting mainly of a strong extracellular cuticle and the turgor of the fluid-filled body cavity. In such a system the usual supportive structures seem to be of less functional significance.

    Notes: Summary Microscopic anatomy, functional morphology, and ultrastructure of the stomach of the antarctic krill Euphausia superba Dana were investigated by means of serial sections, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and video technique. A separation of the stomach into an anterior part, called cardia, and a posterior part, called pylorus, became evident. Protrusions of the stomach into the midgut form the third region, called the funnel. The interior of the cardia is dominated by the two lateralia, originating from the side walls of the stomach. At their undersurface, they bear the primary filter. It separates the dorsal food channel from the ventral filtration channel, which is divided into two channels by a ventromedian ridge, the anteromedianum. Within the pylorus, the inferolateralia act in sealing the food channel from the filtration channel. In contrast to many other Malacostraca, the inferomedianum bears no secondary filter. During live observations, the stomach of Euphausia superba shows distinct pumping phases. A comparison of the structure of the stomach with data obtained from other Crustacea will lead to a better understanding about the relationships between the Malacostraca.

    Notes: Summary Molecular weights are provided for 44 blood serum proteins from four species of Priapulida: 21 peptides in Priapulus caudatus and P. tuberculatospinosus, 19 in Priapulopsis bicaudatus, and 24 in P. australis. One (exceptionally two) proteins predominate in the investigated sera. While electrophoretic patterns are variable within species, phenetic trees constructed on the basis of Czekanowski's distances of peptide pattern resemblance match the taxonomic hierarchy of priapulids. This shows that electrophoretic profiles of denatured serum peptides have a phylogenetic basis, in spite of considerable nongenetic diversity which limits phylogenetic interpretations of the present data set. One may tentatively conclude that molecular differentiation of bipolar priapulids is more extensive than morphological differences, at least in the genus Priapulus.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zumammenfassung Die Seitenorgane (Amphiden) von Tobrilus aberrans stellen Einstülpungen der Epidermis dar, an die basal 16 Dendriten herantreten, die apikal je eine modifizierte Cilie tragen. Die Epidermiseinstülpung ist distal (im Bereich von Fovea und Canalis) cuticularisiert. Die Cuticula in diesem Bereich weist Bauunterschiede zu der der Körperoberfläche auf. Im Bereich des Fusus findet sick keine Cuticula. Die 16 Cilien der Dendriten treten über den Canalis in die Fovea ein und weisen auf verschiedener Entfernung von ihrer Insertion einen unterschiedlichen Querschnitt auf. Im Fusus sind sie nach dem 9×2+0-System aufgebaut, weiter distal verlieren sie die Ordnung ihrer Binnenstruktur und ihren kreisförmigen Querschnitt. Die Fovea wird vom Corpus gelatum ausgefüllt, das nicht aus der Apertura heraustritt.
    Notes: Summary The lateral organs (amphids) of Tobrilus aberrans, invaginations of the epidermis, are at their base in association with 16 dendrites, each of which has one modified cilium. The epidermal invagination is lined distally (in the region of fovea and canalis) by a cuticle, which differs in its ultrastructure from the cuticle covering the surface of the body. In the region of the fusus the cuticle is lacking. The 16 dendritec cilia enter the fovea via the canalis and exhibit differing cross-sections if cut at various distances from their origin. In the fusus they are constructed according to a 9 × 2 + 0 pattern; this order is lost as they approach the canalis, in the fovea they additionally loose the circular outline of their cross-section. The fovea is filled by the corpus gelatum which does not extend beyond the apertura.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Das Stomochord von Harrimania kupfferi und Ptychodera flava, eine Ausbuchtung des Darmkanals der Enteropneusten, welche in das Präsoma hineinragt, besteht aus zwei Zelltypen: a) Epithelzellen, die durch Desmosomen verbunden sind und große Vakuolen besitzen; ihr distaler Zellsaum ist mit Mikrovilli und Zilien ausgestattet. b) Schleimzellen. An der Basis des Epithels kommen zahlreiche Nervenfasern vor, die Granula (Durchmesser etwa 1,500 Å) enthalten. Das Stomochord wird von einer Basallamina und Bindegewebsfasern umschlossen. Die Frage der Homologie des Stomochords mit der Chorda dorsalis wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The stomochord of Harrimania kupfferi and Ptychodera flava. a tubular structure which extends from the oral cavity into the presoma, consists of two cell types: a) epithelial cells interconnected by desmosomes, which bear at their apical pole a brush-border and cilia. The largest part of these cells is occupied by a voluminous vacuole; b) mucus cells. In addition, at the base of the epithelium numerous nerve fibres occur, which are characterized by electron dense granules of about 1,500 Å diameter. The whole stomochord is surrounded by a basement lamina and connective tissue fibres. The question of homology between stomochord and notochord is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Feinstruktur der Körperwand der Sporozyste und des jungen Distomum von Leucochloridium paradoxum wurde mit dem Elektronenmikroskop untersucht. Das Sporozystenintegument ist durch lange, verzweigte Mikrovilli gekennzeichnet. Die Epidermis-Perikarya, die sehr viel Glykogen und Lipid enthalten, sind versenkt. Dem Distomumintegument lagert eine Schicht faserigen und globulären Materials auf. Im Zytoplasma finden sich hantelförmige Sekretionsgranula und kristalloide Stacheln. Auch das Integument der jungen Distoma ist versenkt.
    Notes: Summary The fine structure of the body wall of the sporocyst and young distomum of Leucochloridium paradoxum was examined with the electron microscope. The integument of the sporocyst which lacks the intestinal tract, is characterised by tall and branched microvilli as well as by perikarya which lie below the basal lamina. The latter are particularly rich in glycogen and lipid inclusions. The integument of the young distomum is surrounded by a thick layer of fibrous and globular material. The cytoplasm contains elongated secretory granules and crystalloid spines. The perikarya are again situated below the basal lamina.
