  2. Classification of Living Things Kingdom Phylum (Division) Class Order Family Genus Species e.g. Animalia Chordata Vertebrata Mammalia Cetacea Delphinidae Orcinus orca

  3. Classification of Marine Organisms Neritic Oceanic Fig 13.9

  4. Neritic Oceanic Biozone Epipelagic Mesopelagic Bathypelagic Abyssopelagic Fig 13.9

  5. Neritic Oceanic Sunlight zone Euphotic Disphotic Aphotic Fig 13.9

  6. Temperature ranges Eurythermal Stenothermal Fig 13-11

  7. Temperature tolerances • Eurythermal • Shallow coastal water • Open ocean, surface • Stenothermal • Open ocean, deeper • Cooler water organisms tend to have smaller, fewer appendages, fewer species, and live longer

  8. Oxygen variation with depth Figure 13.20

  9. Euphotic zone Light penetration Fig 14-5

  10. Deep scattering layer Box 13-1 Fig 13 A

  11. Sonar of the Deep Scattering Layer 9 am 7 am Night Morning 5 pm 7 pm Day Evening

  12. Plankton – drifts with ocean currents Nekton – swim actively Zooplankton & Nekton Phytoplankton Bacterioplankton

  13. Zooplankton Ctenophora Cnidaria Gastropod mollusc Urochordata Pyrosoma Chaetognaths Arthropoda Crustacea

  14. Image from text, T&T Inside back cover

  15. Floatation - shape Cestus - ctenophore Fig 15-8 Ctenes – rows of macro cilia

  16. Floatation - shape e.g. Copepods (crustacean arthropods) Fig 15-5

  17. Individual = zooid Feeding zooid Floatation – oil droplets Nectophore = bell with float Cl. Hydrozoa: Siphonophore Muggiaea

  18. Floatation – gas chambers Vellela vellela (by the wind sailor) Cl. Hydrozoa: Chondrophora

  19. Floatation – gas chambers Physalia (portugese man of war) Cl. Hydrozoa, Siphonophore Fig 15-7

  20. Janthina – gastropod mollusc Floatation – gas chambers Float of air bubbles

  21. Floatation – gas chambers Nautilus Fig 15-1

  22. Buoyancy compensation in Nautilus Siphuncle shell animal

  23. Transparency • Provides camouflage • Involves the whole organism • Has evolved multiple times

  24. The outcome of a predator/prey interaction depends on: Sighting distance = the maximum distance at which a prey animal is detected by an animal relying on visual cues • Transparency allows: • Prey with short sighting distance reduce their encounters with visually orienting predators • Ambush predators with short sighting distance to increase chances of entangling prey before being detected and avoided c)Raptors to get within striking distance before being detected

  25. UV (~320nm) Predator solutions to catching transparent prey… • UV vision • found in mantis shrimp, cladocerans, copepods, decapods, horseshoe crabs, and even a polychaete worm! • 2. Polarization vision • light is polarized when it enters water

  26. Unpolarized light Polarized light http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explorations/04deepscope/logs/aug12/aug12.html

  27. The Great Barrier Reef taken through a polarizing filter held in front of the camera horizontally, vertically, and at 45º. The fourth image is coded with color to show that much of the water is horizontally polarized (coded here as red).

  28. Polarized vision – view of a copepod through… unpolarized light polarized light

  29. Polarization vision helps detect transparent prey Shashar, Hanlon, Petz, Nature 1998,
