Article Synopsis
- Differential sperm chemotaxis refers to the varying responses of sperm from different males to chemical signals released by eggs or females.
- Microfluidic devices are advanced tools that can effectively study how sperm and eggs interact in this context.
- The text discusses major challenges faced when using these devices to investigate differential sperm chemotaxis, along with potential solutions to overcome these obstacles.
The digestive ability of four sympatric land crabs species (the gecarcinids, Gecarcoidea natalis and Discoplax celeste and the anomurans, Birgus latro and Coenobita perlatus) was examined by determining the activity of their digestive enzymes. The gecarcinids are detritivores that consume mainly leaf litter; the robber crab, B. latro, is an omnivore that preferentially consumes items high in lipid, carbohydrate and/or protein; C.
