Invertebrate species have been used for many years in the laboratory and teaching environment. We discuss some of the most commonly maintained invertebrates--the nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans), the California sea hare (Aplysia californica), the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), terrestrial hermit crabs, the horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus), and cephalopods--and briefly describe general techniques for culturing them in captivity. The aim of this article is to give potential users an idea of the materials, methods, and effort required to maintain each type of organism in a laboratory or classroom setting.
无脊椎动物物种多年来一直被用于实验室和教学环境中。我们讨论一些最常饲养的无脊椎动物——线虫(秀丽隐杆线虫)、加州海兔(加州海兔)、果蝇(黑腹果蝇)、陆生寄居蟹、鲎(美洲鲎)和头足类动物——并简要描述在圈养环境中饲养它们的一般技术。本文的目的是让潜在用户了解在实验室或教室环境中饲养每种生物所需的材料、方法和精力。
