First Records of Two Species of Crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) Collected from Southern Korea [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2013 Two species of crabs, Homola orientalis Henderson, 1888 and Pseudomicippe nipponica (Sakai, 1938), are described and illustrated for the first time in Korea. Homola orientalis was collected at 30 m depth by trap from Busan, and P. nipponica was collected

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 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.

Ecosphere, 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.

Inter-specific comparative analysis of distribution and habitat use patterns of benthic decapod crustaceans in shallow waters [PDF]
, 2005 [Abstract] Coastal areas have been widely considered as nurseries for many marine species. New approaches to this concept take into account interactions among environmental variables and ecological variations related to geographical location, as well ...
