摘要:
The process of digestion was studied in some polar pycnogonids, mainly the Antarctic formsNymphon australeandNymphon orcadense.Our findings did not support the theory of the digestive process proposed by Schlottke (1933) and this led to a re‐examination of his ideas. We propose a new scheme for digestion in pycnogonids and fit Schlottke's observations into this framework. It is suggested that Antarctic pycnogonids may possess behavioural adaptations peculiar to their supply of food. Some directions for further study are indicate
