“…2). In shrimp burrows, the presence of these chambers has been interpreted as a place for turning or positional changes of the animal inside the burrows (Nickell and Atkinson 1995;Shimoda and Tamaki 2004). Aoyama et al (2005) reported the absence of an enlarged chamber in the burrow tunnel of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, and claimed that the eel moves in and out of the burrow in a unidirectional route.…”

Odontamblyopus lacepedii inhabits burrows in mudflats and breathes air at the surface opening. Investigations of the intertidal burrows using resin casting demonstrated a highly branched burrow system. The burrows are composed primarily of branching patterns of interconnected tunnels and shafts that communicate into two to seven surface openings. Bulbous chambers (i.e., dilated portions of the burrow) at branching sections of the tunnels or shafts are common features of the burrow. The presence of these chambers accords the fish adequate space to maneuver inside the burrow, and thus constant access to the surface. The combination of all burrow characteristics and previously reported variability in air breathing patterns are ostensibly of selective value for aerial predator avoidance during air breathing in O. lacepedii.

“…Since thalassinidean shrimps, which dominated our site, often form a complex burrow system with multi-chambers and multi-openings (e.g. Mukai & Koike 1984, Ziebis et al 1996b, Shimoda & Tamaki 2004, flow through the burrows would be very complicated. The friction to flow in the complex burrow and the geometry of the burrow, such as opening diameter and passage length, may affect the oscillatory burrow flow and could lower the flow frequency.…”

High temporal-resolution fluctuations in oxygen concentration and vertical velocity were measured over an intertidal sandflat (water depth < 69 cm) using an oxygen microelectrode and an acoustic Doppler velocimeter, in order to estimate oxygen flux across the sediment -water interface using the eddy-correlation method. The effect of flux estimate procedures, including noise removal and extraction of fluctuating components, was investigated. The estimated oxygen effluxes from the sediment ranged from -3.2 to 6.6 mmol O 2 m -2 h -1 in the light and from -14.5 to -6.6 mmol O 2 m -2 h -1 in the dark. The oxygen-uptake fluxes in the dark were markedly higher than those measured by a conventional enclosure technique. High-frequency turbulence and/or noise (> 5 Hz) observed in the vertical velocity and oxygen concentration data made little contribution to the total oxygen flux (0 to 7%). However, trends (steady change over a longer time scale) caused significant artifacts in the estimated fluxes for several cases. Thus, removal of trends from raw time-series data is recommended. The co-spectrum of the fluctuating components of vertical velocity and oxygen concentration revealed that the oxygen flux at a frequency band between 0.3 and 1.4 Hz (at a period from 0.7 to 3.3 s) was a major contributor to the total oxygen flux. This frequency was consistent with the dominant frequency of vertical velocity, indicating that transport and exchange of porewater and overlying water by wind-induced waves may be crucial processes to dissolved oxygen flux between permeable sandy sediments and shallow waters.

“…The inner tube is also distinctly different from the draft fill channels described from some callianassid burrows (cf. Seilacher, 2007). The idea that the inner tube should be an integral part of the burrow system gains some support from the fact that restricted apertures are often observed in the tube systems of modern crustaceans that construct Ophiomorpha-like burrows (e.g.…”

“…Many species of ghost shrimp disperse their larvae in the open water where they may migrate shorter or longer distances before returning to the shelf waters for reproduction in later stages of their life cycles (Tamaki et al, 2010(Tamaki et al, , 2013. In some species, the juveniles have been seen to return to the adult's burrow system where they produce a set of smaller side burrows within the adult system before producing their own system (Kornienko, 2013;Shimoda & Tamaki, 2004;Tamaki, Ikebe, Muramatsu, & Ingole, 1992). For example, burrows by Upogebia affinis showed smaller burrows made by juvenile shrimp extending from enlarged chambers.…”

A peculiar reworking ofOphiomorphashafts in the Miocene Nangang Formation, Taiwan

et al. 2015

In the Miocene sandstones of the Nankang Formation in north-eastern Taiwan, different varieties of the trace fossil Ophiomorpha are abundant. In certain beds, a peculiar reworking of vertical Ophiomorpha shafts was observed. This reworking consists of an inner, lined tube positioned in the centre of the shaft. The shaft is lined by thin walls with small knobs and is distinctly different from the shafts of the Ophiomorpha nodosa mazes found in the same beds which have thick walls and large knobs. Because both outer and the inner tube walls were constructed by small sub-pellets, a diagenetic origin can be ruled out. The presence of sub-pellets further indicates that the inner tubes were also constructed by crustaceans and not commensal organisms such as worms or fish. The abundance of these vertical shafts suggests that they were constructed for a specific purpose, and the similarities in sub-pellets indicate that they likely were constructed by different generations of the same crustacean species. Because brooding chambers were not observed and are rare among extant marine crustaceans, we suggest that the vertical shafts were constructed to encourage juvenile shrimp to resettle in the parental burrows after they had completed their pelagic larval stages.
