Based on Mitochondrial Genomes and Gene Order Rearrangements: Phylogenetic Relationships and Terrestrial Adaptability in Paguroidea (Crustacea: Decapoda). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Investigating the internal phylogenetic relationships within Paguroidea and the terrestrial adaptability of Coenobitidae within Paguroidea through the analysis of mitochondrial genomes of five Anomura species. ABSTRACT The complete mitochondrial genome provides pivotal information that enhances our understanding of molecular phylogenetic analysis ...

Conserved Gene Order and Adaptive Evolution in Mitochondrial Genomes of Calappa Crabs: Insights Into Ecological Specialization and Phylogenetic Utility [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genomes of five Calappa species, filling a critical gap in genomic resources for the family Calappidae. Our analyses confirm the monophyly of Calappidae, detect positive selection in key energy metabolism genes (ATP6, ND2, ND5), and reveal conserved gene arrangement patterns.

Revealing the Diverse Allergenic Protein Repertoire of Six Widely Consumed Crab Species: A Species-Specific Allergen in King Crab. [PDF]

Allergy
This study comprehended the allergen profiles of six edible crab species using proteomic and transcriptomic analyses and identified 11 putative allergens. King crab has a distinct protein and allergen profile, with the discovery of malate dehydrogenase as a novel king crab‐specific allergen registered as Para c 11.

Investigating Low-Temperature Stress Responses in Crustacea Aquatic Species Through Comparative Transcriptomics. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Crustaceans, such as shrimp and crabs, are pivotal to global aquaculture, yet their productivity is severely impacted by low‐temperature stress. This study employs comparative transcriptomic and genomic analyses to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying crustacean responses to cold stress across five economically significant species ...

Crustaceans as Key Prey: Insights Into the Dietary Partitioning of Four Carnivorous Fishes in the Nansha Islands, South China Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study, through a combination of morphological analysis, molecular identification, and stable isotope analysis, confirmed that crustaceans are the primary food source for these fishes. Small carnivorous fishes reduce niche overlap by selectively feeding on different types of crustaceans—a strategy supported by the abundant crustacean resources in ...

Mitochondrial genome comparison reveals the evolution of cnidarians

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
First of all, we used mt‐genomes as many as possible published before to analyze the evolutionary relationship. Secondly, more recent studies based on mitochondrial whole‐genome sequences have suggested that Anthozoa are polyphyletic, with the subclasses Octocorallia being a sister group with Medusozoa.

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

The oldest dairoidid crab (Decapoda, Brachyura, Parthenopoidea) from the Eocene of Spain

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023
Abstract Eubrachyurans, or ‘higher’ true crabs, are the most speciose group of decapod crustaceans and have a rich fossil record extending into the Early Cretaceous. However, most extant families are first found in the fossil record in the Palaeogene, and particularly in the Eocene.

Fine‐scale diversity of prey detected in humpback whale feces

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
We investigated the prey consumed by humpback whales in three heterogenous regions in southern British Columbia, Canada, using opportunistic faecal sampling, microscopy, and DNA metabarcoding of 14 faecal samples. Fish including Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii), hake (Merluccius productus), and eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) were the most common ...

Assessing diversity of King Crab Lithodes spp. in the south‐eastern pacific using phylogeny and molecular species delimitation methods

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
The purpose of this study was to assess the biodiversity of individual Lithodes spp. across the Southerneast Pacific with multilocus molecular markers. A complex of independent evolutionary units comprising at least two genetically distinct lineages with different spatial distribution is observed.
