A review of autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) for monitoring hard‐bottom benthic biodiversity

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 435-455, February 2026.
Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (

Linking regional variation of epibiotic bacterial diversity and trophic ecology in a new species of Kiwaidae (Decapoda, Anomura) from East Scotia Ridge (Antarctica) hydrothermal vents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We analyzed the diversity of bacterial epibionts and trophic ecology of a new species of Kiwa yeti crab discovered at two hydrothermal vent fields (E2 and E9) on the East Scotia Ridge (ESR) in the Southern Ocean using a combination of 454 pyrosequencing,

A família Aeglidae (Crustacea, Decapoda, Anomura)

open access: yesArquivos de Zoologia, 1994
The family Aeglidae comprises the genus Aegla with recent species and the genus Haumuriaegla with the fossil species H. glaessneri Feldmann, 1984. The results from the revision of the family Aeglidae, mainly from the study of the genus Aegla Leach, 1820, based on material collected in the southern and the south-eastern States of Brazil and on the ...

Parallel Genomic Remodelling Associated With Independent Terrestrialization Events in Arthropods

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The repeated transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments (terrestrialization) has shaped the evolutionary trajectory of many animal lineages, yet the genomic basis of this ecological shift remains incompletely understood. Arthropods, with multiple independent terrestrialization events, provide a powerful system to investigate whether ...

Embryonic development of Pachycheles chubutensis (Decapoda: Anomura)

open access: yesJournal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2009
The different stages of embryonic development of the porcellanid crab Pachycheles chubutensis are described, along with the chronology of each stage at 16±1°C. Five different developmental stages (I–V) were recognized including: (i) early cells and 100% of the vitellum; (ii) formation of the embryonic primordium at the animal pole of the egg; (iii ...

On the Fallacy of Color Discrimination: The Rise and Fall of a Rare and Endemic Box Crab (Brachyura: Calappidae)

open access: yesJournal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the major reservoirs of marine biodiversity and harbors an exceptionally high number of endemic species. Nevertheless, the taxonomic status of many of these endemics still requires confirmation through integrative, modern approaches.

Lipid, fatty acid and protein utilization during lecithotrophic larval development of Lithodes santolla (Molina) and Paralomis granulosa (Jacquinot) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
During the larval development of the subantarctic king crab, Lithodes santolla, and stone crab, Paralomis granulosa, we compared changes in the carbon, fatty acid and protein contents of larvae reared under constant conditions from hatching to ...

Decapod Biodiversity Hotspots and Environmental Drivers: A Macroecological Approach About Bycatch Species in Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the spatial patterns of species richness (SR), phylogenetic diversity (PD) and phylogenetic endemism (PE) in bycatch decapod crustaceans along the Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone and to assess the influence of environmental variables and trawling effort on these diversity indices. Location Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone.

Occurrence of Lithodes Confundens (Decapoda: Anomura) in the Intertidal of the Southwestern Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Crustacean Biology, 2002
We provide the first biological data for the southern king crab Lithodes confundens, found intertidally on the Atlantic coast of southern South America (518219S‐548209S). Between October and December 1997 and in December 1999, specimens were found during the ebbtide in crevices of the wave abrasion platform.

Integrative Phylogenetic and Morphological Analyses Reveal Two New Species of Porcellanid Crabs and Resurrect Porcellanella picta Stimpson, 1858 (Decapoda: Porcellanidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study uses integrative phylogenetic and morphological analyses to clarify the taxonomy of Porcellanella crabs, revealing four distinct species. The authors resurrect Porcellanella picta as a valid species and describe two new species from Australia (P. brevidentata n. sp. and P. longiloba n. sp.).
