	abstract = "The deep-sea isopod <I>Bathynomus pelor</I> is a carnivorous scavenger that feeds on infrequent food falls provided by fish or cetaceans dying and dropping from upper levels of the sea. In order to understand the microanatomy of the mouthparts that allow <I>B. pelor</I> to survive in its competitive environment, the mouthparts of the animal and their setae were studied using scanning electron microscopy. <I>B. pelor</I> was found to display a diverse and site-specific collection of setae on its mouthparts that are suited to obtaining mechanosensory and chemosensory information from food. Some setae such as the densely setulated pappose and plumose setae on the maxilliped are suited to the retention of small particles of food in the pre-oral cavity.",
