Taxonomy and Ecology of Brachyuran Crabs in Sunderbans

open access: yesRecords of the Zoological Survey of India, 2017
Indian part of Sunderbans is a wide area spread between the rivers Matla in the west and Roymangal in the east. The Mangroves are unique intertidal ecosystem that supports the biodiversity in a wide band. The brachyuran crabs prefer mangroves to complete their biological cycle and along with the crabs, shrimps, prawns, lobsters are also found to be ...

Is Eocarcinus Withers, 1932, a Basal Brachyuran? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Crustacean Biology, 2010
Abstract Eocarcinus praecursor, the putative earliest member of Infraorder Brachyura of Early Jurassic age in Great Britain, cannot be accommodated within that infraorder. Numerous characters are inconsistent with placement within Brachyura, including: a lack of fusion of the epistome with the dorsal carapace; chelipeds on the first and putatively ...

An investigation into the diet of elephant fish (Callorhinchus milii) in the waters of Aotearoa/New Zealand

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Conserved organ-specific microbial assemblages in different populations of a terrestrial crab

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the environment and provide genetic and physiological functions to multicellular organisms. Knowledge on the associated microbiota is becoming highly relevant to understand the host’s ecology and biology.

Insights into diet and niche separation in the context of prey availability between two sympatric whiprays in a tropical intertidal estuary

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Increasing evidence supports associations between various elasmobranch species and estuarine habitats, particularly during early life stages. However, with substantial knowledge gaps surrounding spatial habitat use and trophic ecology of estuary‐associated species in Australia, we cannot reliably assess the functional importance of these areas
