Sclerite formation in the hydrothermal-vent “scaly-foot” gastropod — possible control of iron sulfide biomineralization by the animal [PDF]

, 2006
A gastropod from a deep-sea hydrothermal field at the Rodriguez triple junction, Indian Ocean, has scale-shaped structures, called sclerites, mineralized with iron sulfides on its foot.

Occurrence, Abundance, and Diversity of Gill Fouling Organisms in Snow Crab, Chionoecetes opilio (O. Fabricius, 1788), (Decapoda, Brachyura, and Oregoniidae) in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean, Canada

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Gill fouling organisms (GFO) in snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) were identified and grouped into 10 taxons, representing 7 phyla. An unknown harpacticoid copepod species (Coullia sp.) was described and the presence of a kinorhyncha species (Echinoderes sp.) was first observed.

Inter-population variability in the reproductive morphology of the shore crab (Carcinus maenas): Evidence of endocrine disruption in a marine crustacean? [PDF]

, 2005
Environmental contaminants that are capable of causing endocrine disrupting effects are currently a major cause for concern. These chemicals are known to influence the reproductive development of vertebrates by mimicking or antagonising the actions of ...

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.

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 ...
