Article Title: A tale of two antennules: the performance of crab odour-capture organs in air and water

doi: 10.1098/rsif.2016.0615

Figure Lengend Snippet: Diagram of particle image velocimetry (PIV) set-up and results for the marine crab dynamically scaled physical model. Left: the model was dragged through a tank of oil with reflective marker particles in the direction indicated by the arrows. The camera was mounted above the model antennule and captured images at 60 fps. Particle movements were illuminated in a two-dimensional plane created by the laser. Velocities were reconstructed from consecutive image pairs, using MatPIV v. 1.6.1 [25] (for more details, see electronic supplementary material and [15,20]). Right: PIV results. Top left: downstroke in air; top right: return stroke in air; bottom left: downstroke in water; bottom right: return stroke in water. Aesthetascs are white outlined in black, the flagellum of model is shown in white and lies to the left of each vector field.

Article Snippet: Particle image velocimetry Velocity fields used in the mathematical model and numerical simulations were measured on dynamically scaled physical models of the antennules of the terrestrial hermit crab, Coenobita rugosus Milne–Edwards 1836 (representing the terrestrial crab morphology), and of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus Rathburn 1896 (representing the marine crab morphology).
