The two claws of the mature American lobster are decidedly different from each other. The crusher claw is short and stout; the cutter claw is long and slender. Such bilateral asymmetry, in which the right side of the body is, in all other respects, a mirror image of the left side, is not unlike handedness in humans. But where the majority of humans are right-handed, in lobsters the crusher claw appears with equal probability on either the right or left side of the body.

Bilateral asymmetry of the claws comes about gradually. In the juvenile fourth and fifth stages of development, the paired claws are symmetrical and cutterlike. Asymmetry begins to appear in the juvenile sixth stage of development, and the paired claws further diverge toward well-defined cutter and crusher claws during succeeding stages. An intriguing aspect of this development was discovered by Victor Emmel. He found that if one of the paired claws is removed during the fourth or fifth stage, the intact claw invariably becomes a crusher, while the regenerated claw becomes a cutter. Removal of a claw during a later juvenile stage or during adulthood, when asymmetry is present, does not alter the asymmetry; the intact and the regenerate claws retain their original structures.

These observations indicate that the conditions that trigger differentiation must operate in a random manner when the paired claws are intact but in a nonrandom manner when one of the claws is lost. One possible explanation is that differential use of the claws determines their asymmetry. Perhaps the claw that is used more becomes the crusher. This would explain why, when one of the claws is missing during the fourth or fifth stage, the intact claw always becomes a crusher. With two intact claws, initial use of one claw might prompt the animal to use it more than the other throughout the juvenile fourth and fifth stages, causing it to become a crusher.

To test this hypothesis, researchers raised lobsters in the juvenile fourth and fifth stages of development in a laboratory environment in which the lobsters could manipulate oyster chips. (Not coincidentally, at this stage of development lobsters typically change from a habitat where they drift passively, to the ocean floor where they have the opportunity to be more active by burrowing in the substrate.) Under these conditions, the lobsters developed asymmetric claws, half with crusher claws on the left, and half with crusher claws on the right. In contrast, when juvenile lobsters were reared in a smooth tank without the oyster chips, the majority developed two cutter claws. This unusual configuration of symmetrical cutter claws did not change when the lobsters were subsequently placed in a manipulatable environment or when they lost and regenerated one or both claws.

P1 介紹龍蝦螯有分兩種:crusher claw & cutter claw ->
- crusher: 短粗
- cutter: 長細
- 與人類不同(大多是慣用手是右手),龍蝦crusher機率左右邊是一樣的

P2 說明龍蝦螯的生長過程,並用了VE的實驗證實 ->
- 螯一開始是對稱的(4-5階段也是),直到階段6開始不一樣
- VE實驗(把龍蝦的其中一個螯拿掉):4-5階段拿掉,剩下的螯變成crusher; 6階段以後(不對稱已經產生),拿掉原本crusher螯後,生長出來還是crusher螯(不變)

P3 explain P2: explain VE experiment ->
- random生長:intact; non-random: lost
- 解釋原因:跟使用頻率有相關

P4 support P3: 再用一個實驗證明crusher claw與使用頻率相關 ->
- 用了oyster chips模擬生長環境(放入尚未成形的龍蝦4-5階段):有oyster chips,螯不對稱且crusher claw左右邊比例為50%50%;沒有oyster chips,螯對稱
- 又加強實驗結果:把沒有oyster chips的對稱龍蝦放到其他環境,還是對稱的

單字:stout 粗壯結實、handedness 慣用手、intriguing 非常有趣的、intact 未受損傷的、rear 養育

1.龙虾两个爪子不对称,但是和人类大部分右拐子不同,龙虾的左右爪子变化的可能性差不多:Crusher爪子又短又粗,cutter爪子长细,同等几率变化,和人类不一样
2.单边不对称性是慢慢形成的:在4.5阶段爪子都还是一样的,6阶段开始转变
两个实验:1如果4,5阶段没了一个爪子,那么另一个一定会变成crusher;但是如果6阶段后没了爪子,新长出来的和之前的爪子就维持原来的功能
3上面实验现象的解释:用得更多的爪子更可能变成crusher
4.为了证实假设做实验放到要生蚝开壳的地方,一半左crusher一半右,如果放到没有生蚝的地方,大部分都只长出了cutter,而且就算换了环境,或者掉了爪子,都不会变了。

P1: 主要说美国成熟龙虾的两个钳子,不对称:一个是crusher钳子,一个是cutter钳子

P2:介绍这种不对称的形成和一个现象。在龙虾青年的第四五阶段,是对称的,第6个阶段开始发展为不对称。VE发现,如果在青年时期失去了一个钳子,那么留下的钳子会是crusher,新长出来的是cutter,但是如果是成年龙虾,即便断了,留下来和新长出来的钳子还是和原来的功能一样。

P3: 对P2现象解释的猜想,hypothesis。
因为青年龙虾失去一个钳子后,另一个钳子就得常用,所以变成了crusher,但是成年龙虾的两个钳子在青年时功能已经塑造好了,所以即便断了,也不会影响和改变钳子的功能。

P4: 最后实验,证明假设。
一个四五阶段青年龙虾钳子没长好,和oyster chips放一块儿(这阶段自然界龙虾也会active by burrowing...)发现一只钳子变成crusher了,一只是cutter(左右一半一半),另一组实验,不放牡蛎壳,龙虾长了对称的两个cutter钳子,即便后面再放到有牡蛎壳的水箱,regenerated的钳子或者说两只钳子都不会有变化。
