    Notes: Gastrocnemius tendons of 10 White Leghorn chickens at 6, 8, and 12 weeks of age were divided into proximal, middle, and distal portions to assess regional variability in composition and growth. Body weight increases ∼ 150% during the period examined, whereas the lateral gastrocnemius muscle and tendon increase ∼ 193% and 227%, respectively. No significant changes in cellularity (DNA concentration) or hydroxypyridinium (OHP) crosslinks occur with increasing age. Hydroxyproline (HYP) concentration increases by 12 weeks of age, as hexuronate, glucosamine, and galactosamine decrease. Composition shows some regional variation: the distal region of the tendon has a lower HYP concentration, and increased GAGs and OHP crosslinks compared to either the proximal or middle regions, which do not differ from each other. The mean collagen fibril diameter increases with age, but the oldest tendons also contain more small diameter fibrils (〈40 nm). There is a unimodal fibril distribution at all three ages, although this has broadened by 12 weeks. The data from this study suggest that rapid tendon growth occurs throughout the time period examined and that changes characteristic of mature tendon, such as increased OHP crosslink concentration, have not yet developed in hatchlings because of the large amount of new tissue being produced. Whereas all three regions of the tendon are similar in size, composition of the distal region differs from that of the proximal and middle regions, suggesting that this portion of the tendon should be avoided when sampling a tendon. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Microscopic anatomy of pycnogonida: I. Cuticle, epidermis, and muscle (1994)

    Notes: The integument of Pycnogonida (Arthropoda) consists of an epicuticle decorated with tubercles and a filamentous coat, an exocuticle with a small number of ill-defined layers, and an endocuticle whose numerous layers are composed of conspicuously cross-banded fibrils. This cuticular periodicity, attributable to cross-linked chitin, has been observed previously in uncalcified and untanned cuticle of many lower crustaceans, especially branchiopods and copepods, and in scattered examples of thin respiratory or excretory cuticles of other arthropods. It is uniformly present in all representatives of all nine pycnogonid families examined to date. Stomodeal, proctodeal, and arthrodial cuticles are devoid of the endocuticular periodicity. The cuticle is decorated with sensory filaments and setae, but is more noteworthy for a dense coverage by glands, up to 1,400/mm2. Myocuticular junctions have desmosomal fine structure previously found only in chelicerates. Muscle fine structure is that of slow fibers with long sarcomeres and a high actin to myosin filament ratio, except for cardiac muscle, which has short sarcomeres. Among the arthropods, only merostomates resemble the pycnogonids in the lack of fast somatic muscle fibers. Pycnogonids display a hybrid array of fine structural features that variously serve to relate them to some arthropod subphyla and distance them from others. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Development and growth of compound tooth plates in Callorhinchus milii (chondrichthyes, holocephali) (1994)

    Notes: The chimaeroid holocephalian fishes are distinguished among extant chondrichthyans by the possession of three pairs of tooth plates, evergrowing and partially hypermineralized, that are not shed and replaced like the teeth of living elasmobranchs. Although derivation of the chimaeroid tooth plate from the fusion of members of a plesiomorphic chondrichthyan tooth family has been proposed, evidence for this hypothesis has been lacking. A new analysis of the development and structure of the tooth plates in Callorhinchus milii (Holocephali, Chimaeriformes) reveals the compound nature of the tooth plates in a chimaeroid fish. Each tooth plate consists of an oral and aboral territory that form independently in the embryo and maintain separate growth surfaces through life. The descending lamina on the aboral surface of the tooth plate demarcates the growth surface of the aboral territory. Comparison with the tooth plates of Chimaera monstrosa indicates that compound tooth plates may be a feature of all chimaeroids in which a descending lamina is present. The tooth plates in these fishes represent the fusion of two members of a reduced tooth family. The condition of the tooth plates in C. milii is plesiomorphic for chimaeroids and is of evolutionary significance in that it provides further evidence to support a lyodont dentition in chimaeroid fishes similar to that found in other chondrichthyans. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The process of morphological and functional regeneration was followed on a tilapid fish, a cross of Oreochromis aureus × Oreochromis niloticus, by observations on movements and the use of X-rays. A four-year-old adult fish that lost its tail as post larva, including ten vertebrae, was able to reconstruct a novel and shorter central skeleton, including a specially modified urostyle. The enlarged and strengthened pterygiophores and their junctions with the dorsal and anal spine formed a fast-holding base for the fins, the posterior part of which largely performed the functions of the missing caudal fin. Although the fish was much shorter than usual, this male behaved and functioned normally. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: A study of the ultrastructure and function of the paraphysis in Bufo bufo larvae was carried out. The structure is a tubular-ramified gland made up of numerous tubules with monolayered epithelial walls surrounded by connective tissue and sinusoids. The epithelial cells secrete glycoprotein to contribute to production of the cephalorachidian fluid. The role of the paraphysis in the transport of fluids and electrolytes from the blood to the cephalorachidian fluid in regulation of ionic and osmotic homeostasis is discussed. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Characteristics of the flagellar axoneme in Neuroptera, Coleoptera, and Strepsiptera (1994)

    Notes: Spermatozoa from representatives of the five insect orders in superorder Neuropteroidea were examined by electron microscopy following a new fixation method that includes tannic acid in the primary fixative but has uranyl acetate rather than osmium tetroxide as the secondary fixative. The sperm axoneme was found to be similar in the four orders Megaloptera, Raphidioptera, Neuroptera, and Coleoptera, and is characterized above all by its so-called intertubular material being divided into two portions, one located outside, but in contact with the doublet, and the other projecting from the accessory tubule and having a beak-like shape. These features have not been seen in insects from other orders and may be a synapomorphy for these neuropteroid orders. The accessory tubules in these four orders have 16 protofilaments. The shape of the accessory bodies adjacent to the mitochondrial derivatives is nearly the same in insects from the more primitive neuropteroid orders and in Coleoptera. The sperm tail of the examined strepsipteran deviates in several respects from that of other neuropteroids: the particle row in the wall of accessory tubules is incomplete, an intertubular material is missing, and the mitochondria contain no crystal. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: In the embryo of Haliotis tuberculata spiral cleavage induces size differences between the quadrants in the 4-cell embryo. These size differences, together with the formation of compact cell configurations, induce asymmetrical positions of equivalent cells in the 8- and 16-cell embryo. The asymmetries in size and position influence the final specification of the dorsoventral asymmetry in the 32-cell embryo, as well as formation of the mesentoblast. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Eversible abdominal vesicles and some observations of the male reproductive system of the spoon wing lacewing Palmipenna (Neuroptera: Nemopteridae) (1994)

    Notes: The anatomy and histology of the abdominal eversible vesicles and the male reproductive tract of the spoonwing lacewing Palmipenna (Neuroptera: Nemopteridae) have been examined. The eversible vesicles open as a pair of large bulbous sacs between tergites five and six, each folding into halves during retraction. They consist of highly pleated cuticle, beneath which are typical gland cells, each having a circular or oval end apparatus surrounded by closely packed microvilli. These communicate to the surface via cuticularized channels. In spite of considerable behavioral observations, male Palmipenna were never noted with everted vesicles. Even during mating trials, where females were presented to males in the field, the vesicles were never everted during the attempted copulation that ensued. Our observations indicate that mate attraction is mediated by the release of a female pheromone. The function of the eversible vesicles and their associated gland cells remains unknown, and their structure appears to be unique to the Nemopteridae. The reproductive tract is similar to that of other Neuroptera, consisting of a pair of five-lobed testes, a medium-to-large pair of seminal vesicles, and three pairs of accessory glands. The major accessory glands are surrounded by circular and longitudinal muscle, and are lined by an epithelium, the cells of which presumably secrete the amorphous rods of material always present in this pair of glands. The sperm in the seminal vesicles are elongate, with a pointed head and a 9 + 9 + 2 configuration in the flagellum. A single spermatophore, similar in shape to that described for other Neuroptera, was found occluding the bursa copulatrix of a teneral female. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    In vivo fluorescence imaging of the functional organization of trophotaenial placental cells of goodeid fishes (1994)

    Notes: Embryos of viviparous goodeid fishes undergo a 10 to 150 × increase in dry weight during gestation. Maternal nutrients are transferred across a trophotaenial placenta comprised of the ovarian lumenal epithelium and the trophotaeniae of the embryo. Trophotaeniae are externalized projections of the embryonic hindgut. Epithelial cells of the ribbon trophotaenia (Ameca splendens) resemble intestinal absorptive cells of suckling mammals and endocytose macromolecules. They possess an apical brush border, endocytotic complex, endosomal-lysosomal system, and apical and basal clusters of mitochondria. Cells of the rosette trophotaenia (Goodea atripinnis) lack an endocytotic apparatus, have small lysosomes, two mitochondrial clusters, and transport small molecules. Organelle-specific fluorescent probes were employed to characterize the functional organization of the two types of trophotaenial cells. In A. splendens, Lucifer Yellow, a membrane-impermeable tracer of vesicular transport, first appears in peripheral vesicles (15-45 sec), then passes into elongated tubular endosomes (1-3 min) and later appears in large central vacuoles (10-15 min). These vacuoles accumulate Acridine Orange, a classical probe for lysosomes, and have been shown to contain lysosomal enzymes. Endosomelysosome fusion was observed. In both A. splendens and G. atripinnis, Rhodamine 123 fluorescence was localized in two clusters of fine spots that corresponded to mitochondria. 4′,6-diaminido-2-phenyl-indole (DAPI) staining of nuclei established the positional relationships of cell organelles with respect to the nuclei. 3,3′-dihexyloxacarbo-cyanine iodide (DiOC6) revealed the perinuclear distribution of the endoplasmic reticulum. In order to compare in vivo fluorescence of Lucifer Yellow with previous ultrastructural observations, we employed fluorescence photoconversion and electron microscopy. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
