The highly rearranged mitochondrial genomes of the crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae) and gene order evolution in Brachyura [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of the spider crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae, Brachyura). Both genomes contain the whole set of 37 genes characteristic of Bilaterian genomes, encoded on both α- and β-strands.

Functional Trait Divergence in Feeding Ecology Between Two Closely Related <i>Upeneus</i> Species in the Beibu Gulf: An Ecological Morphology Analysis. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This research not only provides new insights into the niche differentiation and adaptive evolution of closely related species but also offers significant evidence for understanding resource allocation mechanisms within ecosystems. ABSTRACT Closely related species coexisting in the same habitat often undergo niche differentiation or morphological ...

Insight Into the Nuclear and Mitochondrial Genome of the Caribbean King Crab <i>Maguimithrax spinosissimus</i> (Crustacea: Brachyura: Mithracidae) to Support Fisheries Management and Conservation Initiatives. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Genomic resources for the Caribbean King Crab. ABSTRACT The Caribbean King crab Maguimithrax spinosissimus is the largest brachyuran in the western Atlantic and target of subsistence, recreational, and/or artisanal fisheries. Also, its abbreviated larval period makes it a candidate for mariculture to support coral reef restoration efforts.

Asian elephants are associated with a more robust mammalian community in tropical forests. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
It's the first evidence that Asian elephants are positively associated with robustness of mammalian networks, increases ungulate/primate abundances and minimally disrupts activity patterns. Highlights elephants' overlooked role as keystone architects beyond vegetation engineering, urging conservation prioritization to safeguard ecosystem resilience ...
