Diversification of Aquaculture Production in Relation to Global Change: The Case of the Domestication of Indigenous Euryhaline Catfish Species (Siluriformes) in the Mekong River Delta, Viet Nam

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mekong River Delta, the heart of Vietnam's aquaculture industry, is facing many challenges due to climate change, particularly salinity intrusion. In this context, this review aimed to assess the potential of indigenous euryhaline catfish species to diversify fish farming, strengthen food security, and build resilience in the region. Among

On the Fallacy of Color Discrimination: The Rise and Fall of a Rare and Endemic Box Crab (Brachyura: Calappidae)

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the major reservoirs of marine biodiversity and harbors an exceptionally high number of endemic species. Nevertheless, the taxonomic status of many of these endemics still requires confirmation through integrative, modern approaches.

Ecomorphology of crabs and swimming crabs (Crustacea DecapodaBrachyura) from coastal ecosystems

Brazilian Journal of Oceanography
Brachyuran crabs are one of the most diverse taxa of crustaceans, occurring in almost all coastal habitats. Due to their high morphological diversification, the authors sought to ascertain the existence of morphological patterns related to the habitat of

A new ‘Southern Giant Crab’ from a miocene continental slope palaeoenvironment at Taranaki, North Island, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 628-639, December 2025.
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?

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3417-3430, November 2025.
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 ...

Historical Biogeography of Spiny Lobsters in the Genus Panulirus (Achelata: Palinuridae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
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 ...
