SCIENCE AT WORK
New Ybrk (U.R) People
who think nature is wasteful
should ponder her tight economy
in Livoneca convexa which be
gins life as a male but ends it
as a female, thereby eliminating
any need for more than one
kind of individual.
L. C. comes in a number of
varieties, including the pill bug
and sow .hug. Scientific interest
in the family has been increased
recently by new knowledge of
its 'sea-going member. Livoneca
convexa Richardson which is a
tiny bug with a lot of legs.
L. C. R. begins life in the gill
of a fish. Here it matures in a
strictly masculine way, sustain
ing himself by eating the flesh
of his host. Then, one day, his
hormones change chemically and
L.C.R. changes with them
into a female.
She has an idea he never had.
It is to move from the. gill to
the mouth where she shares her
host's meals as they are consum
ed. The more the fish eats, the
bigger becomes the fish. And the
bigger the fish, the bigger the
female L.C.R.'s found in its
mouth.
200 Captives
L. C. R. was all but unknown
animal until last year. One was
captured in the Pacific off Pan
ama in 1885. In 1906, 21 years
later, Dr. R. E. Richardson de
scribed that one speciman and it
acquired its scientific name, L.
C. Richardson.
There knowledge rested until
scientists of the University of
California's Scripps Institution
of Oceanography began exam
ining the fish with which Pacific
Ocean tuna fishermen bait tuna.
They discovered that one kind
of bait fish was especially attrac
tive to L.C.R.
Now they have more than 200
captured L.CR.'s, some male
and some female, in varying
stages of development. It's all
very exciting. For one thing,
the scientists may find out how
nature went about evolving such
an efficient creature.
Other scientists at the ocean
ography institution have found
out an interesting quirk of a rel
ative . of ' the L.C.R. namely
the gribble, which is as destruc
tive an animal in ocean waters
as the termite is on land. The
gribble can eat away pilings and
wooden ship bottoms at a phen
omenal rate. Two hundred thou
sand of them can eat nine
pounds of wood in a year. Since
they come by the millions usual
ly, you can see their capabilities.
The scientists have discovered
By DELOS SMITH
United Preu Science Editor
that only at night do gribbles
swarm out of their burrows in
water-soaked and rotten wood,
looking for new worlds to con
sume new pilings, new wood
en ship bottoms.
Robert J. Menzies discovered
their odd working hours. Why
they are night workers, he does
not know as yet. The gribble in
fests all oceans, but its numbers
and energies are much greater
in the warm seas.
The oceanographers of Col
umbia University's Lamont Geo
logical Observatory have used a
clam-like fish that has been ex
tinct for some 100,000,000 years
to . establish the "no-younger-than"
age of the island of Ber
muda. .
In samples of the ocean bottom
off Bermuda they found fossils
of this creature, known scientif
ically as Inoceramus. Bermuda
is the top of a long extinct vol
cano. It is surrounded by an un
derwater "plateau" covered by
relatively shallow water. Inocer
amus inhabited shallow water
only. Therefore, the finding of
fossils shows that the plateau
was relatively shallow 100,000,
000 years ago which shows that
Bermuda is rfo younger than
that.
