Refining the trophic diversity, network structure, and bottom‐up importance of prey groups for temperate reef fishes

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Marine fish communities are highly diverse and contribute significantly to ecosystem processes. However, understanding their specific functional roles and the importance of different prey groups for sustaining fish communities has been limited by the historical classification of fishes into a few coarse trophic guilds.

Larval morphology of the family Parthenopidae, with the description of the megalopa stage of Derilambrus angulifrons (Latreille, 1825) (Decapoda: Brachyura), identified by DNA barcode [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Although Parthenopidae is a brachyuran decapod family comprising almost 140 species, there is little knowledge about its larval morphology. There are only two complete larval developments reared in the laboratory and some larval stages described for ...

New brachyuran crabs from the Aptian–Albian Romualdo Formation, Santana Group of Brazil: evidence for a tethyan connection to the Araripe Basin

open access: yes, 2018
Despite the exceptional palaeontological richness of the renowned Santana Group from the Early Cretaceous Araripe Basin of Brazil, only one specimen of true crabs (Brachyura) has been discovered to date.

Warming effects on a nonindigenous predator are not conserved across seasons

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 1, Page 189-202, January 2025.
Abstract The global proliferation of nonindigenous species remains a critical stressor driving both biodiversity loss and socioeconomic costs. These impacts frequently depend on environmental contexts, but few studies have investigated how seasonal variations coupled with climate changes, like warming, could modulate nonindigenous species ecological ...

An atlas of larval organogenesis in the European shore crab Carcinus maenas L. (Decapoda, Brachyura, Portunidae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2018
Background The life history stages of brachyuran crustaceans include pelagic larvae of the Zoea type which grow by a series of moults from one instar to the next.

Physiological capacity of Cancer setosus larvae — Adaptation to El Niño Southern Oscillation conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Temperature changes during ENSO challenge the fauna of the Pacific South American coast. In many ectotherm benthic species pelagic larvae are the most important dispersal stage, which may, however, be particularly vulnerable to such environmental stress.

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Ocean conditions influence the quality of recruiting benthic marine invertebrate larvae—Insights from fatty acids

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 2748-2759, November 2024.
Abstract Many marine benthic invertebrates have a pelagic life stage, during which larvae need to accumulate enough reserves to complete metamorphosis to a settled benthic juvenile. Currently, very little is known about how ocean conditions affect quality of the larvae.

Feeding and Food Preferences by Three Sympatric Species of Cyprinodontid Fishes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
The feeding and food utilization by three sympatric species of cyprinodontid fishes was examined using a modified Ivlev Electivity Co-efficient. Results indicated that although Fundulus heteroalitus and Fundulus majalis are sympatric in the area examined,
