Species Mesocalanus lighti - Planche 6 of morphological figures

Planche 6 Issued from : J.A. Fornshell & F.D. Ferrari in Crustaceana, 2014, 87 (1). [p.109, Fig.1, A-C].
Von Vaupel Klein's organ on right endopodal segment 1 and right basal seta of P1. A, anterior, distal up; B, right basal seta; C, proximal endopodal segment (showing denticles, spines and pores)
Scale line; short = 25 µm; long = 95 µm.

The Von Vaupel Klein organ is an association (srtucture) of the distal seta from basis and the proximal endopodal segment of P1.
This structure shows significant variability among many gymnoplean copepods, in the shape of the distodorsal corner of the proximal endopodal segment, presence and location of denticles on the anterior face of the segment, presence and size of denticles along the distal margin of the segment , number of pores on the segment, shape of the seta that originates on the basis, and the morphology of the basis at the origin of the seta.
The function of this complex structure is not known.

Remarques

For Bowman (1955, p.416) M. lighti is most readily distinguisehed from M. tenuicornis by the shape of the body in lateral view.. The males of the two species are less easily distinguished than the females.
