The next day Danny met Socrates while trying to avoid Carl. That night while Danny was sleeping he dreamt about his neighbor, Socrates.

During lunch Joy filled Danny in on Carl the “School Bully” as he was shooting hoops by himself. This was the beginning of many encounters with Carl and Danny. Out from behind a car the school bully, Carl appeared. His troubles began on his walk to school with new neighbor, Joy. The next The story Secret Of The Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman is about a boy named Danny Morgan and his troubles with moving to a new school. All collected material was deposited in the Crustacea collection at CIB.The story Secret Of The Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman is about a boy named Danny Morgan and his troubles with moving to a new school. Specimens were identified using the keys for the species of Macrobrachium proposed by Holthuis (1952) and Wicksten (1989) and the original descriptions of the species. A data base with all morphometric and meristic data was deposited in the Crustacea collection at Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste, S.C., La Paz, Baja California Sur, México (CIB). The number of teeth on both margins of the rostrum was recorded. The following measurements were obtained: total length (TL) (from tip of rostrum to posterior end of telson) and length of merus, carpus, palm (length and height), and dactylus of the larger chela of the second pair of pereiopods. Males were distinguished by the presence of the appendix masculina on the second pleopods. In the laboratory, the material was sorted according to gender.

Schematic representation of the appendage with the largest chela of the second pair of pereiopods of the genus Macrobrachium showing the main structures useful for species identification (modified from Villalobos and Nates, 1990). Teeth: As described by McLaughlin (1980), but also as conspicuous protuberances found sometimes along the cutting edge of one or both fingers of the chela.ĭenticles: Small teeth found along the cutting edge of one or both fingers of the chela.Ĭhelae unequal: Right and left chela are different in size and-or in shape.Ĭhelae subequal: Right and left chela are similar in size and shape. Pubescence: Small and numerous seta-like structures. Tubercle: Small rounded prominence, found mostly on the pereiopods and chelae. Spinules: Slender small spines, found mostly on the pereiopods and chelae. Spine: A stout, sharp process, found mostly on the carapace, pereiopods, chelae, and telson. Gaping fingers: Cutting edges of fixed finger and dactylus are arched, thus there is a clear space between them.Ĭlosed fingers: Cutting edges of fixed finger and dactylus are straight, thus there is no a clear space between them. 2):įixed finger: Nonjointed projection of the propodus (manus or palm) of the cheliped.
