Interspecific Cohabitation and Associated Zoonotic Risk in the Burrows of Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal. [PDF]
Burrows concentrate multiple species in confined spaces, potentially facilitating pathogen transmission. Camera traps at 105 burrow entrances in Niokolo‐Koba National Park documented 32 species generating 172 interspecific cohabitations. Potential zoonotic bacteria (Treponema, Francisella) were detected, and ticks were found in half of sampled burrows,

An investigation into the diet of elephant fish (Callorhinchus milii) in the waters of Aotearoa/New Zealand. [PDF]
Abstract Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are increasingly understood to be an important part of ocean ecosystems, but their ecological role is unclear. Callorhinchus milii (elephant fish) is a chimaera species endemic to Aotearoa/New Zealand and southern Australian waters.

On the Larval Sensory Organs and Central Nervous System of the Zoea 1 of the Asian Shore Crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus (Decapoda, Brachyura). [PDF]
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.

Evidence of Cheliped Autotomy and Regeneration in the Lower Miocene Crab <i>Achelous monspeliensis</i> From Portugal. [PDF]
Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

The mitochondrial genome of Grapsus albolineatus (Decapoda: Brachyura: Grapsidae) and phylogenetic associations in Brachyura [PDF]
AbstractComplete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) can provide useful information for phylogenetic relationships, gene rearrangement, and evolutionary traits. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the herbivorous crabGrapsus albolineatus. It is a typical metazoan mitochondrial genome.

Comparative Neuroanatomy of Hydrothermal Vent Shrimps: Ecological Differentiation Among Four Alvinocaridid Species. [PDF]
Hydrothermal vent shrimps share a conserved brain architecture with enlarged mushroom bodies and terminal medullae, shaped by similar environmental pressures. Despite this similarity, some anatomical features near the brain vary between species, suggesting that some ecological factors, such as microhabitat and trophic strategies, also influence nervous
