Biting mechanism of the amphipod Anonyx (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Lysianassoidea)
Abstract:Anonyx amphipods feed extensively on dead or weakened animals, often of large size. They cut off strips of food using the wide incisor processes of their mandibles like a pair of shears. The mandibles and associated mouthparts are specialized for this shearing action. The strips of food are coiled and packed into their proventriculi.
Keywords:Amphipoda  Lysianassoidea  Anonyx  biting mechanism  functional morphology
