  Electrophysiologically Determined Spectral Sensitivities of Deep-sea Crustaceans.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The spectral sensitivities of several species of deep-sea crustaceans were determined by adapting an electrophysiological apparatus for shipboard use.
An earlier study on members of the family Oplophoridae determined that 3 genera possessed two peaks of spectral sensitivity, including one in the near UV.
These electrophysiologically determined peaks of sensitivity were later correlated with the presence of two visual pigments, one absorbing primarily in the blue, and one absorbing primarily in the near UV.

 ePIC: Description and key to the zoeal stages of the Campylonotidae (Decapoda, Caridea) from the Magellan Region
Based on the results obtained, we concluded the morphological differences of the presence/absence of carapace spines, the shape of the somites, the telson and its number of posterolateral spines to serve as diagnostic features for the determination of campylonotid larvae.
Morphological comparisons with larvae of the Pandalidae, Palaemonidae, and Oplophoridae suggest the Campylonotidae to be phylogenetically related to the Oplophoridae.
Additionally, a key for identifying the zoeal stages of the Campylonotidae from the southernmost region of America is given in order to facilitate future ecological and life history studies.
