Unraveling the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Potamalpheops Sp. (Purple Zebra Shrimp) (Crustacea: Decapoda) Provides Insights Into Its Phylogenetic Relationships and Gene Order Rearrangements

Ecology and Evolution
Understanding the functions of mitochondrial genomes is crucial for studies related to the evolution of genomes, phylogenomics, and species identification. For the first time, complete mitogenome of Potamalpheops sp.

Ecomorphological convergence in the walking leg dactyli of two clades of ascidian‐ and mollusc‐associated shrimps (Decapoda: Caridea: Palaemonidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
The walking leg dactyli of two clades of endosymbiotic shrimp species, living in ascidians and bivalves, are analysed using (phylo)morphometric methods. The two clades show between‐ and within‐clade morphological convergence in both the overall shape of the dactyli, as well as microstructures which can only be seen with SEM‐photography.

Moderate recreational oyster harvest has variable impacts on biophysical properties of reefs and reef‐associated fauna

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite the popularity of recreational fishing, our understanding of the impacts of this type of harvest within marine ecosystems generally lags behind the well‐documented effects of commercial fisheries. Intertidal oysters serve as ecosystem engineers within otherwise soft‐bottom estuaries but may be disproportionately susceptible to harvest ...

Changes in water flow alter community dynamics in oyster reefs

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Fluid (air or water) movements are key determinants of living systems from cellular to community levels of organization. Water flow can influence individual fitness and local population dynamics, but less is known about the collective response of natural communities to alteration in water flow because parameter responses to flow may be ...

Mitochondrial genomic characterization of two endemic Chinese freshwater crabs of the genus Sinopotamon (Brachyura: Potamidae) and implications for biogeography analysis of Potamidae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Overall, our study yielded valuable insights into the evolutionary history and taxonomic relationship of Sinopotamon and these results will help to better explain the gene rearrangement events of the invertebrate mitogenome and lay the foundation for further phylogenetic study of Sinopotamon.

Functional and phylogenetic responses of motile cryptofauna to habitat degradation

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 11, Page 2203-2219, November 2022., 2022
Uncovering the hidden biodiversity of coral reefs. Divers mostly see corals and fishes, but these authors have found increased numbers and diversity of tiny animals hidden in dead coral and rubble. Such animals are overlooked, but may help support food webs and functioning as the living coral structure degrades. Abstract Biodiversity of terrestrial and

Considering the influence of land use/land cover on estuarine biotic richness with Bayesian hierarchical models

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 7, October 2022., 2022
Abstract The composition of land use/land cover (LULC) in coastal watersheds has many implications for estuarine system ecological function. Land use/land cover can influence allochthonous inputs and can enhance or degrade the physical characteristics of estuaries, which in turn affects estuaries' ability to support local biota.

White spot syndrome virus host range and impact on transmission

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1843-1860, September 2022., 2022
Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the etiological agent of white spot disease (WSD), is a significant pathogen affecting shrimp farming industry worldwide. White spot syndrome virus is a generalist virus mainly infecting decapod crustaceans. The aims of this review were to: (1) Re‐evaluate and update the status of reported WSSV host and vector

HydroMoth: Testing a prototype low‐cost acoustic recorder for aquatic environments

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 362-378, June 2022., 2022
In this paper, we demonstrate the current lack of commercially available low‐cost aquatic sound recorders. We then test a prototype device that is twenty times cheaper than currently available hydrophones. Technology like this will open up the field of aquatic bioacoustics to people and organisations who have never before been able to listen underwater.
