An investigation into the male reproductive system of two freshwater crabs from the Amazon: is there a sperm plug or packet formation?
ABSTRACT The male reproductive system of Amazon freshwater crabs Sylviocarcinus pictus and Dilocarcinus pagei were described and compared in terms of anatomy and histochemistry In addition, sperm transfer experiments of D. pagei with sequential copulations were performed and the anatomy of the seminal receptacle was checked. The anatomy of the male reproductive system of both species is an inverted ‘U’ shape, connected by the testes, from which the pair of vas deferens divided into anterior, median and posterior regions depart. Sylviocarcinus pictus and D. pagei revealed coenospermia, which differed from the families of freshwater crabs in Southeast Asia. The histochemical composition of the seminal fluid is similar in both Trichodactylidae, following the pattern described for most Brachyura. Through the copulation experiments and anatomical results, these animals do not show a sperm plug, but rather form different sperm packs when engaging in multiple copulations with different males.
期刊介绍:
Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology is devoted to the publication of papers covering field and laboratory research into all aspects of the behaviour and physiology of all marine and freshwater animals within the contexts of ecology, evolution and conservation.
As the living resources of the world’s oceans, rivers and lakes are attracting increasing attention as food sources for humans and for their role in global ecology, the journal will also publish the results of research in the areas of fisheries biology and technology where the behaviour and physiology described have clear links to the contexts mentioned above.
The journal will accept for publication Research Articles, Reviews, Rapid Communications and Technical Notes (see Instructions for authors for details). In addition, Editorials, Opinions and Book Reviews (invited and suggested) will also occasionally be published. Suggestions to the Editor-In-Chief for Special Issues are encouraged and will be considered on an ad hoc basis.
With the goal of supporting early career researchers, the journal particularly invites submissions from graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. In addition to recognising the time constraints and logistical limitations their research often faces, and their particular need for a prompt review process, accepted articles by such researchers will be given prominence within the journal (see Instructions for authors for details).
