    Fatty acid composition and ultrastructure of photoreceptive membranes in the crayfish Procambarus clarkii under conditions of thermal and photic stress

    The ultrastructural state of the crayfish visual membrane is correlated with its fatty acid composition during times of photic and thermal stress and the period over which the dynamic events occur is investig...

    Intrinsic control of rhabdom size and rhodopsin content in the crab compound eye by a circadian biological clock

    Under conditions of constant darkness, rhabdom volume and the amount of visual pigment chromophore show circadian changes in the compound eye of the crabHemigrapsus sanguineus. The present results indicate that a...

    A survey of 3-dehydroretinal as a visual pigment chromophore in various species of crayfish and other freshwater crustaceans

    3-Dehydroretinal (vitamin A2 aldehyde) was found in the eyes of three species among 10 species of freshwater crayfish examined. Since dark-adapted eyes contained the 11-cis form of 3-dehydroretinal, this compound...
