Crab louse

Mud flats are a vital type of marine habitat that provide several different functions for various marine invertebrates. They provide both permanent and temporary homes to small invertebrates including several species of worms, crabs, snails, and other benthic fauna. These organisms are responsible for the breakdown of organic materials often deposited here, as well as filling the role of prey for many predators that hunt in the shallow waters (Dyer et al., 2000). Mud flats are most often…

Is there really such a thing as super or mutant lice? In 25 states and counting, there has been a highly drug resistant strain of head lice known as the Super Pediculus humanus capitis. Also known as the head louse, it infects six to twelve million people each year (Lice vs Super Lice, n.d.). This is tiny, vampire like parasites that sucks the blood from its victims. Even though they are being called super or mutant by the media as a scare tactic, these lice are actually just regular lice.…

Tom’s the Fiddler Crab Catcher One late afternoon, as I looked out from a large window where I work, I saw this raggedy white van pulling into the parking lot. As It park towards the north side of the lot, I noticed the AC unit protruding from the back door. My attention changed as a customer came in I greeted him and, as usual with his nasty attitude he said “Newport one hundred on a box, a blue game and the rest on pump 5”. He dangled the bundled up twenty-dollar bill on the counter, revolved…

She put little crosses on it and liitle diamonds on the top. and finally…

Polluted runoff is water from rain or melting snow that runs across the paved land instead of seeping into the ground and being filtered naturally. It happens with the water that flows off of our streets, parking lots, and building rooftops and it picks up all kinds of hazardous waste like pet waste, debris, manure, pesticides, oil, and automotive fluids. If the runoff is poorly treated or untreated, it negatively affects the water quality and the aquatic life in the local streams, then the…

friends how she didn’t understand Michael. In the middle, Esther started to build a relationship with Michael. Sluggo the hermit crab started to bring the two closer together. In the end, Esther realized they both have Sluggo in common. Esther realized that Sluggo was lonely and so was Michael. So for…

Imagine a magnificent creature that can be described as a typical crab, but isn’t. This crab seems to be more sophisticated. Most people wouldn’t think of the horseshoe crab, which dates back to about 400 million years ago, 200 million years before the dinosaurs existed. The horseshoe crab marvelous reign may come to an end because we are interacting with these fascinating creatures. Humans should not interact with these magnificent creatures because interacting with these creatures can cause…

The clinical presentation of pediculosis capitis is not always direct and may easily go unobserved. History will include exposure to an infestation; however, this may frequently be unknown. Similarly, symptoms may not always be identifiable and can be attributed to other conditions. Finally, physical signs of living head lice are not always easy to identify. Suspicion of infestation should be immediate among contacts of individuals with current or recent pediculosis capitis, and should not be…

Evolution by natural selection and predator induced phenotypic plasticity are mechanisms that have been proposed to describe the effect of crab predation on snail shell thickness. Biologist Robin Seeley hypothesized that the periwinkle populations of New England evolved by natural selection as the European green crab was introduced to the area (Seeley, 1986). The three requirements for evolution by natural selection are that there is variation among a population, the variation is partly…

plants that formerly had their seeds moved around by these reptiles have been on the decline, and now the Aldabra tortoise upholds this job. In Cape Cod, Massachusetts, researchers have found that the European Green crab is reversing a decades long trend of damage that the Purple Marsh Crab has inflicted on salt marshes thus defeating the soil erosion issue and,ultimately, resulting in the return of cordgrass for…
