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

Motion After‐Effects Induced by Dynamic Illumination in Crab Vision
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.While in humans, background motion can disrupt the detection of visual cues even after the moving background component has ceased, it remains unknown whether natural forms of background motion might also affect other animal visual systems. Here, we test whether prior exposure to naturally occurring ‘caustics’, a form of dynamically moving light ...

DNA testing of edible crabs from seafood shops on the Odisha coast, India
Biomolecular Concepts, 2018 Seafood consumption is highly demanding due to the important source of protein it contains, as well as being rich in omega-3 fatty acids. However, the adulteration of seafood is an alarming issue worldwide, including India.

Defensive Behaviour in Intertidal Crabs
Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2025.Mangrove swimming crab showing defensive behaviour by raising its chelae; ruler and grey card are also shown. ABSTRACT Despite a long roster of prey defences against predators now documented by biologists, any given species utilises only some of them, and we have few a priori predictions as to if, when or where they will be employed.

A new genus and species of tree-climbing crab (Crustacea: Brachyura: Sesarmidae) from Taiwan with notes on its ecology and larval morphology [PDF]
, 2003 11 páginas, 8 figuras.A new genus and species of sesarmid crab, Scandarma lintou, is described from Taiwan. This crab has a semi-terrestrial habit: adults and juveniles thrive in ind-protected and vegetated habitats in close vicinity of fresh water and ...

Ecological and evolutionary implications of allometric growth in stomach size of brachyuran crabs
PLoS ONE, 2018 Individual characteristics often scale allometrically with organismal body size and the form of this scaling can be influenced by ecological and evolutionary factors. Examining the specific form of this scaling can therefore yield important insights into

A seascape dichotomy in the role of small consumers for coral reef energy fluxes
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 3, March 2025.Abstract Biogeochemical fluxes through ecological communities underpin the functioning of ecosystems worldwide. These fluxes are often heavily influenced by small‐bodied consumers, such as insects, worms, mollusks, or small vertebrates, which transfer energy and nutrients from autotrophic sources to larger animals.
