Transcripts encoding
Limulus polyphemus opsins 1 and 2 (LpOps1 and LpOps2) were identified in cDNA libraries of LE and ME, respectively, using classical homology cloning approaches (Smith et al., 1993); and two additional LpOps1-like genes (LpOps3 and LpOps4) were identified through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing of Limulus genomic DNA (Dalai et al., 2003).
The table should read as follows: Table 3 The number of individuals sampled (n), coefficient values (a, [log.sub.e](b)), standard errors for values (SE[a], SE[[log.sub.e](b)]), and correlation coefficient ([r.sub.2]) of the relationship between prosomal width and weight for horseshoe crabs (
Limulus polyphemus), loge(Wt)=[log.sub.e] (PW) x a + [log.sub.e](b).
The American horseshoe crab (
Limulus polyphemus) is a unique and fascinating living fossil, a source of food for migrating shorebirds, a source of a highly sensitive assay for bacterial endotoxin, and a commercially harvested whelk (Busycon carica and Busycotypus canaliculatus) and eel (Anquilla rostrata) bait (Novitsky 1984, Walls et al.
