ABSTRACT Weapons are morphological structures used by animals in various contexts, especially in intra‐specific contests and visual displays. In snapping shrimps of the genus Alpheus, particularly the monogamous species Alpheus brasileiro, both sexes bear enlarged chelipeds, potentially conferring advantages in mate competition or territorial defence ...

Island Invader: Rugulopteryx okamurae and the Challenge for Macaronesian Coasts
ABSTRACT Since 2015, Rugulopteryx okamurae, a brown seaweed native to the Northwest Pacific, has become one of the most conspicuous marine invaders in the European continental coastal waters. Its recent establishment in the Macaronesian archipelagos (the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands) has produced significant ecological changes, including ...

We provide a description of the morphology of selected sensory organs and of the central nervous system in the Zoea 1 of the Asian shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus using multiple neuroanatomical methods. Our data reveal well‐developed visual and olfactory organs and complex primary sensory neuropils related to processing this input.

Metabolism and decompression tolerance of scavenging lysianassoid deep-sea amphipods
Respiration, ammonia excretion and decompression tolerance were studied in several species of lysianassoid amphipods captured at four stations in the deep Arabian Sea with an isolated trap maintaining them at in situ temperature.

Functional and Trophic Structuring of Micronektonic Fishes in the Northeast Atlantic
Sharp vertical gradients structure the functional and trophic organization of mesopelagic micronektonic fishes, driving a transition from migratory, surface‐linked assemblages in upper layers (0–700 m) to resident communities adapted to deep, low‐light environments (> 700 m).

We found that Amazons and Sailfins differed in their qualitative, but not quantitative, resistance to parasites. Amazons had worse qualitative resistance (i.e., were more likely to be infected with at least one parasite) and spent more time in the open, riskier portion of the assay arena. Parasite prevalence and load differed between our two collection
