Fig. 4. Variation of sense organs. (A) Scanning electron micrograph of olfactory
aesthetascs in an adolescent. (B) Scanning electron micrograph of gustatory
corrugated setae in an adolescent. (C) Means and ranges of the numbers of
aesthetascs per specimen, plotted per stage (Juv 2 to Juv 6) and batch (from
dams A and B and daughters B1 and B3). Juveniles were
removed from the maternal pleopods in stage 2 and then reared under identical
conditions in net culture systems. Shaded areas indicate ranges of all
batches. *Only three individuals analysed in these groups. (D)
Means and ranges of the numbers of corrugated setae per specimen (same
specimens as in C), plotted per juvenile stage and batch. Note differences in
variation among aesthetascs in C and corrugated setae in D. (E) Means and
ranges of the numbers of corrugated setae on pereiopods 1, 2 and 3
(P1–P3), plotted per juvenile stage. Small circles and thin bars
represent offspring of a single female (dam B) and large circles and thick
bars pooled data of all batches (from dams A, B, B1 and
B3).
