Mantis shrimp locomotion: coordination and variation of hybrid metachronal swimming
<p><span>Across countless marine invertebrates, coordination of closely spaced swimming appendages is key to producing diverse locomotory behaviors. Using a widespread mechanism termed hybrid metachronal propulsion, mantis shrimp swim by moving five paddle-like pleopods along their abdomen in a posterior to anterior sequence during the power stroke and a near-synchronous motion during the recovery stroke. Despite the ubiquity of this mechanism, it is not clear how hybrid metachronal swimmers coordinate and modify individual appendage movements to achieve a range of swimming capabilities. Using high-speed imaging, we measured pleopod kinematics of mantis shrimp (<em>Neogonodactylus</em> <em>bredini</em>) while they performed two swimming behaviors: burst swimming and taking off from the substrate. By tracking each of the five pleopods, we tested how stroke kinematics vary across swimming speeds and the two swimming behaviors. We found that mantis shrimp achieve faster swimming speeds through a combination of higher beat frequencies, smaller stroke durations, and partially via larger stroke angles. The five pleopods exhibit non-uniform kinematics that contribute to the coordination and forward propulsion of the whole system. Micro-hook structures (retinacula) connect each of the five pleopod pairs and differ in their attachment across pleopods – possibly contributing to passive kinematic control. We compare our findings in <em>N</em>. <em>bredini</em> to previous studies to identify commonalities across hybrid metachronal swimmers at high Reynolds numbers and centimeter scales. Through our large experimental dataset and by tracking each pleopod's movements, our study reveals key parameters by which mantis shrimp adjust and control their swimming, yielding diverse locomotor abilities.</span></p>

Data from: Context-dependent scaling of kinematics and energetics during contests and feeding in mantis shrimp
Measurements of energy use, and its scaling with size, are critical to understanding how organisms accomplish myriad tasks. For example, energy budgets are central to game theory models of assessment during contests and underlie patterns of feeding behavior. Clear tests connecting energy to behavioral theory require measurements of the energy use of single individuals for particular behaviors. Many species of mantis shrimp (Stomatopoda: Crustacea) use elastic energy storage to power high-speed strikes that they deliver to opponents during territorial contests and to hard-shelled prey while feeding. We compared the scaling of strike kinematics and energetics between feeding and contests in the mantis shrimp Neogonodactylus bredini. We filmed strikes with high-speed video, measured strike velocity, and used a mathematical model to calculate strike energy. During contests, strike velocity did not scale with body size but strike energy scaled positively with size. Conversely, while feeding, strike velocity decreased with increasing size and strike energy did not vary according to body size. Individuals most likely achieved this strike variation through differential compression of their exoskeletal spring prior to the strike. Post-hoc analyses found that N. bredini used greater velocity and energy when striking larger opponents, yet variation in prey size was not accompanied by varying strike velocity or energetics. Our estimates of energetics inform prior tests of contest and feeding behavior in this species. More broadly, our findings elucidate the role behavioral context plays in measurements of animal performance.
Plastic background colour matching in the springbok mantis
<p><span>Within-species variation in colour phenotypes is widespread in animals. One mechanism by which such variation can be maintained is plastic background matching, where individuals plastically develop a similar colour to that of their surroundings. A few examples are known from insects that exhibit green-brown colour polyphenisms. But the extent to which plastic colour responses are shaped by other factors, such as genetic variation in plasticity or the interaction of other environmental cues, is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the plasticity of body colouration in the springbok mantis, <em>Miomantis caffra</em>—a species where hatchlings emerge brown in colour and typically change to green but sometimes remain entirely or partly brown through successive moults. We reared 350 mantises from 10 full-sib families on a green or brown background under a high or low temperature and a high or low humidity using a fully-factorial, split-brood design, and recorded colour phenotypes (all green, all brown, or mixed colouration) after 14 weeks of development. We found very strong evidence of developmental plasticity for background matching: the green background induced a higher incidence of the all-green phenotype, whereas the brown background produced more of the all-brown and mixed phenotypes. The all-green phenotype was also universally more common under higher humidity, and under higher temperature when the background was green. However, not all body parts showed the same level of environmental sensitivity: the steepest reaction norms were observed in the mid-legs and hindlegs, potentially reflecting the selection for disruptive colouration of the body outline in browner environments. Using model comparison techniques, we found little evidence of genotype-level variation in colour plasticity—a pattern likely the result of strong viability selection for camouflage. Our study shows how developmental plasticity in colouration can be triggered directly by the colour of the environment and indirectly by climatic cues associated with habitat colouration. We argue that this high level of developmental plasticity has likely evolved due to the diversity of habitats but the sedentary lifestyle of this sit-and-wait predator.</span></p>
