    Notizen: Abstract Feeding behavior of the deposit feeding polychaete Cistenides (Pectinaria) gouldii was examined to determine factors affecting particle selection and feeding rate. Worms were found to select large particles preferentially and particle size selection increased with worm size. Particle selection behavior was unaffected by changes in sediment bacterial abundance. Feeding rates were affected by sediment size, bacterial density and worm size. Generally feeding rates increased in sediment containing more food, although the response was worm size specific. When viewed in a theoretical construct these results were inconsistent with predictions of deposit feeder optimal foraging models. Alternative explanations, such as morphological constraints placed upon the polychaete, may explain C. gouldii feeding behavior.

    Notizen: Abstract A population of Gemma gemma (Totten) was investigated for 6 yr (1978–1983) in Connecticut, USA to determine the relationship between population fluctuations, life tables of successive cohorts and factors affecting life table parameters. Seasonal cycles occurred from 1978–1981. Although density was not abnormally low in summer of 1982, the population declined rapidly thereafter because individuals present during the reproductive season were smaller than the minimal size for reproduction. Forecasts of population size from a time series model based on past densities were compared to forecasts from the intrinsic rates of growth from four separate clam life tables. The latter approach was less precise but more consistent at successfully predicting temporal trends in population abundance. Two factors were identified that potentially controlled population density and structure during the study. Correlational evidence indicated that intraspecific competition between juveniles and adults was intense in 1978 but was reduced during subsequent years. This interaction reduced the size and subsequent fecundity of the young-of-the-year. Correlational evidence also indicated that low salinity in spring of 1978, 1979, 1982 and 1983 reduced juvenile survival, but not that of adults. Qualitative evidence indicated that a third factor, predation, might also have affected G. gemma's population size and structure.

    Notizen: Abstract The Isthmus of Panama rose approximately 3 million years before the present (mybp) and isolated biotas in the tropical eastern Pacific from those in the Caribbean Sea. Populations that were split by the Isthmus and have evolved in allopatry since that time are known as geminates. The surf zone/beach isopod Excirolana braziliensis Richardson was examined between 1984 and 1989 to test the hypothesis that divergence in geminate isopod morphology has occurred, and that geminate divergence is greater than divergence between local populations from the same coastline. Three morphs of Excirolana braziliensis, one in the Caribbean and two in the eastern Pacific, were discovered using numerical taxonomic methods that adjust for body size. The two Pacific morphs have overlapping large-scale distributions, but those morphs are segregated on a smaller scale by beach. We inferred that one Pacific morph and one Caribbean morph were geminates, based on their relative similarity in shape, their geographical ranges, and natural history information about the organism's dispersal capabilities. The origin of the third morph probably predates the Isthmus of Panama, given its relative dissimilarity from the geminate morphs. The presumed geminates differ primarily with respect to the rostrum, antennae and one male reproductive structure. Divergence between geminates is greater than divergence between local populations of any morph along a coastline. Because only one morph occurs in the Caribbean, that region contains less morphological variation than the eastern Pacific, which contains two morphs. There was weak evidence that some introductions may have taken place in the last century from the Caribbean to the Pacific; however, introductions have not masked the pattern of divergence that has developed over millions of years.

    Notizen: Abstract α2Macroglobulin is a proteinase inhibitor which is converted from its native form into an electrophoretically “fast” form by reaction with a proteinase or methylamine. All α2M “fast” forms bind to a specific high-affinity receptor on macrophages. α2M “fast” forms inhibit the interferon-γ (IFN)-induced increase in macrophage Ia expression. This study examined whether α2M-proteinase complexes alter prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthesis, and whether PGE2 mediates α2M “fast” forms effects on macrophage Ia expression. Culture with α2M “fast” forms increased PGE2 accumulation in the medium over control values in a dose-dependent manner. Culture with IFN alone did not increase PGE2 levels, but potentiated the effect of α2M-proteinase complexes on PGE2 levels. Inhibition of PGE2 synthesis did not alter the PGE2 did suppress IFN-induced Ia expression. Thus, α2M-proteinase complexes increase macrophage PGE2 synthesis, but increased synthesis of PGE2 or other cyclooxygenase products is not the mediator of antagonism of IFN-induced Ia expression by α2M-proteinase complexes.

    Notizen: Summary NaIO4 treatment of mouse adherent peritoneal cells or lymphocyte-free cloned macrophages enhances their cytotoxic and tumoricidal activity. 5×10−3 M NaIO4 treatment of nontumoricidal BCG-activated macrophages renders them completely tumoricidal, whereas the same treatment of stimulated (peptone-normal) macrophages renders them weakly tumoricidal. Addition of LPS in nanogram quantities too low to enhance tumor cell killing by untreated peptone-normal macrophages causes NaIO4-treated peptone-normal macrophages to be maximally tumoricidal. The activating action of NaIO4, MAF, or LPS can be potently, but inconsistently, blocked or reversed by the reducing agent NaBH4 or the aldehyde-reacting agent dimedone. NaIO4 treatment of lymphocyte-free macrophage colonies does not make them cytotoxic, but NaIO4-treated colony macrophages are cytotoxic for tumor cells when cultured in 10 ng/ml LPS (an amount of LPS inadequate to render untreated colony macrophages cytotoxic). Supernatants of NaIO4-treated adherent peritoneal cells contain MAF activity. Thus, the NaIO4-induced enhancement of peritoneal cell tumoricidal activity may result from both direct NaIO4 activating effects on macrophages and indirect NaIO4 effects through NaIO4-induced MAF production.

    Notizen: Abstract Many investigators demonstrate the existence of intra- and interspecific interactions through rigorous statistical hypothesis testing. Statistical significance of an interaction, however, does not necessarily imply that it controls a species population size or distribution. Other analytical methods must be used to make these important determinations. This paper demonstrates one method, with an example, to quantify the demographic importance of statistically significant interactions. In our example, some of the statistically significant interactions with the polychaete Clymenella torquata (Leidy) have large impacts on the population growth rate of the bivalve Gemma gemma (Totten), while others do not. This demonstrates the necessity of distinguishing between statistical significance and demographic importance. In some cases, the demographic importance of the same interaction changes through time because of changes in the bivalve's life history. Interactions affecting juvenile bivalves often have a greater demographic importance than those affecting adults; but this is not always the case.

    Notizen: We studied the chemotactic peptide receptor/cytoskeletal interactions in HL-60 cells induced to differentiate with different agents and attempted to correlate these observations with the acquisition of different functional responses. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP-treated cells showed rapid superoxide anion production in response to N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) and slow, sustained response to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Retinoic acid-induced cells showed a slow, sustained response to both FMLP and PMA. Interferon-γ-treated cells produced no superoxide anion on stimulation with FMLP, whereas tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-treated cells showed a slight response. Chemotactic peptide receptor association was the same in the HL-60 cells treated with different agents, despite marked differences in the superoxide anion generation and actin polymerization responses to FMLP and PMA in these cells. In mature neutrophils chemotactic peptide receptor association with the cytoskeleton was not affected by either pertussis or cholera toxin. However, both toxins inhibited FMLP-induced actin polymerization and superoxide anion generation. This suggested involvement of a G-protein similar to Gt, rather than Gi or Gs. Neither toxin had any effect on PMA-induced superoxide anion generation. These observations indicate that receptor association with the cytoskeleton may not have a significant role in affecting signal recognition and response. Among the several possible roles suggested, clearance of the occupied receptors may be the most important role of the cytoskeletal association. HL-60 cells induced to differentiate with different agents (because of their varied functional responses) might prove very useful in dissecting the molecular mechanisms regulating stimulus-induced activation of neutrophils.
