Thermal behaviour of crustaceans

摘要: Specific thermoreceptors or putative multimodal are not known in Crustacea. However, behavioural studies on thermal avoidance and preference the effects of temperature motor activity indicate that thermosensitivity crustaceans may be range 0.2-2 degrees C. Work planktonic suggests they respond particularly to changes by klinokinesis orthokinesis. The behaviour is modified acclimation among other factors. critical maximum an example resistance acclimation, while classified as capacity some function. In crustaceans, use concepts stenothermy eurythermy at species level questionable, it possible divide crustacean into guilds suggested for fishes. Thermal contributes fitness different ways species, often maximising aerobic metabolic scope activity. peripheral nervous system seems have retained independently central control behaviour.
