Larval Philippine Mantis Shrimp
In a recent study, released Thursday the 29th of April in the Journal of Experimental Biology, experts studied larval Philippine mantis shrimp -
Gonodactylaceus falcatus gotten originally from Oahu, Hawaii.
The team also nurtured some of the similar species from eggs, carefully observing their development through time and then magnifying their punching appendage with the use of a microscope.
The appendage, known as the raptorial appendage, works the same way a bow and arrow works, in that the tip of the appendage gets drawn back, nocked against a mechanism that is spring-like, and then let loose in a quick elastic energy release, said a graduate student in the biology program at Duke University, first author Jacob Harrison.
