Radna je pretpostavka autorȃ ovoga rada da su eufemizmi u tom smislu češće temeljeni na metaforičkom načelu, s obzirom na to da konceptualna metafora kao dvodomenski model omogućuje konceptualni pomak iz traumatične ciljne domene tabua u kakvu ugodniju i komunikacijski prihvatljiviju iskustvenu domenu izvora, dok su disfemizmi u većoj mjeri vezani uz konceptualnu metonimiju koja, kao kognitivni mehanizam čija se izvorna i ciljna sastavnica, tj. pokretač i aktivna zona, zadržavaju u okviru iste konceptualne domene, ne pruža mogućnost konceptualnoga „bijega“ iz traumatičnoga područja, već izravno imenuje neki od njegovih aspekata.

This study focused on the following two issues regarding the hatching mechanism of the estuarine terrestrial crab Sesarma haematocheir: (1) dissolution of the egg case, and (2) the site where the egg case breaks. The egg case comprises three layers: the outer two (E1 and E2) layers and the inner (E3) thin layer (0.2 microm in thickness). The outer layers showed no morphological changes upon hatching, but the inner layer (E3) was markedly digested. The digestion of this layer would enable the embryo to absorb ambient water via reverse peristalsis of the intestine, resulting in an increase of the volume. The egg case always ruptured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the embryo. In addition, breakage of the egg case occurred at the dorsal thorax of the embryo. The three major organs positioned at this area were (1) a sharp projection (dorsal spine), (2) an assemblage of muscles, and (3) a pair of secretory glands, each of which was about 30 microm in diameter. The dorsal projection is soft before hatching, and it is clear that the egg case does not break with the posterior expansion of this projection. The rupture instead appears to be caused by the expansion of the muscles arranged perpendicular to the body axis. In addition, some (unknown) factor might weaken the egg case just before hatching. The secretory glands may be a kind of rosette gland, but the role that this gland plays at hatching is not known. As a duct comes out from the center and enters the dorsal projection, some active substance may be released at the tip of this projection. However, immunochemical studies are not consistent with this substance being an ovigerous hair stripping substance (OHSS).</p>","PeriodicalId":15686,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Zoology","volume":"287 7","pages":"510-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21935388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of exogenous melatonin on dopamine (DA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) contents were compared with the variations in the content of these catecholamines associated to the natural increase in the endogenous melatonin from daytime (3 hr before lights off) to nighttime (3 hr after lights off). Animals treated with melatonin showed a rapid (maximal values at 30 min post-injection) and relatively sustained rise in plasma melatonin levels, which reached supraphysiological ranges. The increase in circulating melatonin was accompanied by a reduction in the amount of DOPAC in both the hypothalamus (30, 60, and 120 min after i.p. melatonin) and the pituitary (120 min after i.p. melatonin) as well as in the pituitary DOPAC/DA ratio (60 and 120 min after i.p. melatonin). Similarly, the increase in circulating melatonin levels from the daytime to nighttime was associated with decreases in the contents of DOPAC in both the hypothalamus and pituitary and in the DOPAC/DA ratio in the pituitary.

These muscles have not been previously characterized physiologically or biochemically. The anatomy was originally described by Pilgrim and Wiersma (1963. J Morph 113:453-587). The arrangement of these muscles varies depending on the abdominal segment. The function of the dorsal membrane muscle is to retract the thin articulating membrane joining the cuticular segments so that the dorsal membrane does not evert during extension of the abdomen. Consequently, the articular membrane does not protrude, and thus potential damage to the membrane is minimized. Examination of nerve terminal morphology revealed strings of varicosities, usually only associated with tonic terminals. The electrophysiological data indicate that there are at least four tonic excitatory and one inhibitory motor neuron innervating these muscles. Facilitation indices and fatigue-resistance indicate physiologically the tonic nature of innervation. Anti-GABA antibodies demonstrate the anatomical presence of an inhibitor motor neuron. The SDS electrophoretic analysis of myofibrillar proteins and Western blots of key protein isoforms for these muscles in crayfish and lobsters also indicate that the DMA and SEAcc muscles are tonic phenotype.

To test this hypothesis, free-living, post-reproductive males were implanted during summer with either a T-filled (T-males) or an empty silastic implant (controls or C-males). Body mass and plasma levels of corticosterone, cortisol, and T were measured immediately before and 1 month after implantation. Exogenous testosterone increased T to high physiological levels typical of reproductively active males. By 1 month after implantation, T-males decreased their mean body mass and plasma GC levels, while C-males maintained their mean body mass and GC levels. Even though T-males lost mass, recapture success 1 month after implantation for T-males (71%) was equal to that of C-males (71%). However, the overwinter recapture rate of C-males (83%) was significantly greater than that of T-males (20%). The results support the hypothesis that high plasma T of males during mating has a suppressive effect on plasma GC levels. Additionally, experimentally elevated T significantly reduced the rate of recapture during the following spring, and this may reflect a reduction in local overwinter survival. The suppression of adrenocortical activity by T may contribute to the reductions in prehibernation body mass and post-emergence recapture success. J. Exp.

This hypothesis can be examined for plant foods because most lizards are insectivores, but herbivory/omnivory has evolved independently in many lizard taxa. Here we present experimental data on chemosensory responses to chemical cues from animal prey and palatable plants by three species of the scincine lizards. When tested with chemical stimuli presented on cotton swabs, the insectivorous Eumeces fasciatus responded strongly to prey chemicals but not to chemicals from plants palatable to omnivorous lizards or to pungent or odorless control stimuli. Two omnivorous species, E. schneideri and Scincus mitranus, responded more strongly to chemical cues from both prey and food plants than to the control chemicals. All available data for actively foraging lizards, including these skinks, show that they are capable of prey chemical discrimination, and insectivores do not exhibit elevated tongue-flicking or biting responses to chemical cues from palatable plants. In all of the several species of herbivores/omnivores tested, the lizards show elevated responses to both animal and plant chemicals. We suggest two independent origins of both omnivory and plant chemical discrimination that may account for the evolution of diet and food chemical discriminations in the eight species of skinks studied, five of which are omnivores. All data are consistent with the hypothesis that acquisition of omnivory is accompanied by acquisition of plant chemical discrimination, but data on a broad diversity of taxa are needed for a definitive comparative test of the evolutionary hypothesis.
