Functional Trait Divergence in Feeding Ecology Between Two Closely Related Upeneus Species in the Beibu Gulf: An Ecological Morphology Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This research not only provides new insights into the niche differentiation and adaptive evolution of closely related species but also offers significant evidence for understanding resource allocation mechanisms within ecosystems. ABSTRACT Closely related species coexisting in the same habitat often undergo niche differentiation or morphological ...

Checklist of brachyuran mangrove crabs of Kerala, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2020
Checklist of Brachyuran mangrove crabs from Kerala, west coast of India has been listed in this paper with re-validation of nomenclature since many of the crab species has been re-named so far and no report has been made from Kerala mangroves. A total of 18 truly mangrove crabs were identified from different mangroves associated with estuaries along ...

Phylogeny of respiratory adaptations and local temperature extremes shape the thermal vulnerability of intertidal crabs

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2637-2655, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is expected to significantly impact coastal populations worldwide. The macrophysiological factors that determine the upper thermal limits (UTL) of intertidal ectotherms, however, remain poorly understood.

Design and Validation of a Single‐Species Environmental DNA qPCR Assay for the Detection of the Invasive Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is considered amongst the most damaging invasive species globally; however, the UK distribution of the species is not well known, with current management protocols reliant on reports of individual sightings. In this study, the first probe‐based, species‐specific qPCR assay was developed for the detection of ...
