BIODIVERSITY OF MARINE DECAPOD BRACHYURANS OF THE AMERICAS [PDF]
The number of species of Decapoda Brachyura in the marine waters of the Americas is estimated to be 1,086. The regions under study extend from the Arctic (north) to Cabo de Homos (south) and include the eastern and western coasts of the continents. Continental shelf species to depths of 200 m (and 300m in some cases) within fourteen zoogeographical ...

ABSTRACT Large‐sized extinct crab specimens recovered from Waitoetoe beach, North Island, New Zealand form the basis for a new species of ‘Southern Giant Crab’, Pseudocarcinus karlraubenheimeri n. sp. The specimens originate from the upper Miocene Urenui Formation (approximately 8.8 myr) of the Taranaki Basin, in which a series of volcanoes of the ...

Planktonic larval stages—an adaptation to lower predation rates in the pelagic environment?
Abstract A majority of marine benthic macroinvertebrate and fish species have planktonic larval stages that disperse in the water column from days to months. However, the adaptive significance of pelagic larvae, and whether predation is higher in the pelagic or the benthic environment, is still debated, partly due to a lack of studies assessing larval ...

Ocean acidification affects marine chemical communication by changing structure and function of peptide signalling molecules [PDF]
Ocean acidification is a global challenge that faces marine organisms in the near future with a predicted rapid drop in pH of up to 0.4 units by the end of this century.

Historical Biogeography of Spiny Lobsters in the Genus Panulirus (Achelata: Palinuridae)
ABSTRACT Aim Panulirus is the spiny lobster genus with the most living species, containing 22 recognised species split into two lineages distinguished by habitat preference. Diversification has been proposed to occur due to geographic events affecting the distribution of adults and the dispersal potential of long‐lived larvae by oceanic currents ...
