Comparative architecture of the tessellated boxfish (Ostracioidea) carapace [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Tessellations (surface architectures of arrays of hard tiles) are common in natural and man-made designs. Boxfishes (Ostracioidea) are almost completely encased in a tessellated armor and have evolved a plethora of cross-sectional carapace shapes, yet ...

The carapace of the branchiopod Crustacea

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1996
Abstract Not withstanding suggestions to the contrary, the branchiopod carapace primitively originates as a fold that arises at the posterior margin of the head. This is generally from the maxillary segment but this region has sometimes been so modified during the radiation of the group that it is not always possible to be so precise.

A Gauge for Carapace Measurements of Crabs

open access: yesJournal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, 1970
A newly developed gauge for measuring carapace widths of crabs is described. Tests showed that it was accurate to ± 0.5 mm, and its broad jaws enabled maximum carapace width to be measured more consistently than with vernier calipers. In addition, it was noncorrodible and faster and easier to use than calipers.

Diaphany: A Disseminar on Carapace

open access: yesBudhi: A Journal of Ideas and Culture, 2012
If Philippine cinema, during a time of dictatorial duress, has indeed gathered into its fold allegories of a certain social texture, then contemporary critique must also provide a rather thick notion of allegory itself, in order to describe the quality ...

Water permeability of seed coats determines differences in dormancy between two orchid species [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Background Seeds of mycoheterotrophic plants including orchids are extremely small and structurally reduced, with two layers of seed coats: large testa and a thin inner seed coat known as the carapace.

Relevance of crustacean carapace wettability for fouling [PDF]

open access: yesHydrobiologia, 2000
Carapace wettability and density of fouling organisms (bacteria, diatoms, protozoa, fungi, macro-organisms) were investigated for 45 crustacean species (Hoplocarida, Decapoda) from 15 families in the Gulf of Thailand. The results show that crustaceans can create and maintain characteristic carapace wettabilities.

Carapace length-frequency distribution and carapace length-weight correlation of ornate spiny lobster ( [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Ornate spiny lobster (Panulirus ornatus) in Sebatik Island is a commercial fisheries commodity that has the highest price if we compare it with another lobster caught by the fisherman in Sebatik Island Waters. That causes the effort to catch this lobster

The structural and compositional basis for the transparency and physical properties of the Skogsbergia lerneri carapace [PDF]

open access: yes
Background: Skogsbergia lerneri (Kornicker, 1958) is a species of ostracod which, like all crustaceans, has a protective exoskeleton (or carapace). As well as being used for a protective function, the S.

The endoskeletal origin of the turtle carapace [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2013
The turtle body plan, with its solid shell, deviates radically from those of other tetrapods. The dorsal part of the turtle shell, or the carapace, consists mainly of costal and neural bony plates, which are continuous with the underlying thoracic ribs and vertebrae, respectively. Because of their superficial position, the evolutionary origins of these
