The complete mitochondrial genome of Alpheus hoplocheles (Decapoda: Alpheidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 The snapping shrimp genus Alpheus is the most diverse and abundant genus of Caridea. However, the phylogenetic and taxonomic studies have so far been limited. In this study, we report the third complete mitochondrial genome of Alpheus from A. hoplocheles.

Unravelling Hidden Trophic Interactions Among Sea Urchin Juveniles and Macroinvertebrates by DNA Amplification. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Rocky reefs may shift between two distinct stable states: productive algal forests, characterised by high abundance and biodiversity of macrofauna, and impoverished barrens, dominated by overgrazing sea urchins. Barren states may persist despite the recovery of adult sea urchin predators, suggesting additional stabilising mechanisms.

Mitochondrial genomic characterization of two endemic Chinese freshwater crabs of the genus Sinopotamon (Brachyura: Potamidae) and implications for biogeography analysis of Potamidae. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 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. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 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

How Marine Megabenthos Fauna Responds to River Discharge and Artificial Flood in Large River Estuary. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe artificial flood reshaped the geographical distribution of megabenthic fauna in the estuarine area in a short time, mainly as a result of the dramatic changes in seawater salinity and nutrients caused by flow pulse. An eco‐friendly discharge management of the Yellow River is needed to weaken the impact. ABSTRACT Estuaries are ecologically sensitive

Morphological study of laboratory reared first and second zoeal stages of Alpheus edwarsii (Audouim, 1826) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea: Alpheidae) [PDF]
Arthropods, 2023 The ovigerous female of Alpheus edwarsii (Audouim, 1826) was collected from Buleji, Karachi, Pakistan, and retained in the laboratory. The larvae hatched after 4 days and subsisted within 3 days at room temperature 28oC-30oC in filtered seawater with a ...

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.
