摘要

Calanoid copepods from seven families in three superfamilies were exposed to a controlled near-field hydrodynamic stimulus and their escape reactions were recorded using high-speed videographic techniques. Copepod species have two distinct mechanisms for increasing conduction speed of neural signals: larger diameter nerve axons and insulated axons, i.e., myelination. Myelinated axons have been found in certain species of the more recently-evolved calanoid superfamilies. Copepod representatives from these superfamilies were expected to have shorter response latencies than species from more ancestral superfamilies due to the increased conduction speed of nerve impulses in myelinated neurons. Using frame-by-frame playback and computerized motion analysis techniques, response latency, jump speed, and acceleration were measured. Kinetic performance of copepods was highly variable, with mean escape speeds ranging between 100-250 mm s~(-1) and accelerations of 9-230 m s~(-2). Minimum behavioral response latencies of 2 ms were recorded for both myelinated and non-myelinated calanoids. There was no significant difference between the response latencies of copepods from the myelinated and non-myelinated superfamilies. Furthermore, no relationships were found between copepod latency and size for either myelinated or non-myelinated species. Previous research may suggest that myelin may shorten the response latencies of certain calanoid species. However, our results show that non-myelinated copepods are also capable of responding rapidly, within as few as 2 ms, to hydrodynamic stimuli and produce similar kinetic performance to myelinated species. The main advantage of myelination over giant nerve axons is their more efficient transfer of nerve impulses resulting in a metabolic energy savings. Although this energetic reward would be important for copepods in food-limited environments, for coastal copepods, in food-rich habitats, either mechanism is a viable solution.
