The specificity of the aplysias to material from the terminal parts of the blades allows them ordinarily to find plent\ of food. The ability of the animals to endure starva- tion with little weight loss enables them to survive easily during periods when rough or other accidents have torn off the edible portions of the I'li'a. The bases produce new blades rapidh enough to save the animals from death by starvation. The presence or absence of a chemical substance attractive to an animal in different parts of the same plant max thus be responsible for maintaining the food supply of the animal against feeding pressure thai would otherxvise eliminate the food Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
