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

Central olfactory pathway in the brain of the hermit crabs Pagurus bernhardus and Coenobita clypeatus: summary of glomerular structure and neurochemistry. Abstract The primary olfactory centers of metazoans as diverse as arthropods and mammals consist of an array of fields of dense synaptic neuropil, the olfactory glomeruli.

Sexual dimorphism in Aegla marginata (Decapoda: Anomura) [PDF]
A study on sexual dimorphism in Aegla marginata was conducted using geometric morphometric methods. The carapace of 47 females and 75 males and the left and right cheliped propodus of 29 females and 40 males were analyzed. Eighteen landmarks were established in the carapace and 10 in the cheliped propodus.

Observations and possible function of the striking anterior coloration pattern of Galathea intermedia (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) [PDF]
Galathea intermedia is common, but cryptic, on Clyde maerl deposits where it lives in small groups of mixed sex and age, sharing shelters (typically dead Dosinia shells) to avoid predation.

The dynamic influence of methane seepage on macrofauna inhabiting authigenic carbonates
Abstract Methane seeps are highly productive deep‐sea ecosystems reliant on chemosynthetic primary production. They are increasingly affected by direct human activities that threaten key ecosystem services. Methane seepage often generates precipitation of authigenic carbonate rocks, which host diverse microbes, and a dynamic invertebrate community.
