Anostracan mate searching behaviour
Meeting Abstract 92-6 Saturday, Jan. 6 11:45 – 12:00 Anostracan mate searching behaviour ROGERS, D.C.; University of Kansas Branchiopod@gmail.com Anostracans have some of the most elaborate mating behaviour among crustaceans. Specific mating rituals have been studied in detail elsewhere. I examined the behaviours of several anostracan species as they were specifically seeking potential mates. Males and females […]
