Diversity and abundance of conspicuous macrocrustaceans on coral reefs differing in level of degradation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Coral reefs sustain abundant and diverse macrocrustaceans that perform multiple ecological roles, but coral reefs are undergoing massive degradation that may be driving changes in the species composition and abundance of reef-associated macrocrustaceans.

Chemical defense of Hymeniacidon heliophila (Porifera: halichondrida) against tropical predators [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2010 Various benthic organisms have chemical defenses which reduce their predators' consumption. Although their efficiency may be noticed in many organisms, many of their effects are not well- known yet.

Morphological Adaptations for Shell Anchoring in Calcinus tibicen: Insights From µCT Imaging, Histology and Scanning Electron Microscopy. [PDF]
J MorpholABSTRACT Hermit crabs rely on external shells for protection due to their non‐calcified pleons. This study focuses on the anatomical features and functional roles of various appendages in Calcinus tibicen to understand their mechanisms for shell anchoring.

Macrogenetics Approach Reveals Spatial Trends and Drivers of Mitochondrial Genetic Diversity at Different Biological Organization Levels in Tropical Western Atlantic Decapods. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThere is a knowledge gap concerning the genetic diversity distribution across marine invertebrates, and whether the latitudinal genetic diversity gradient results from congruent intraspecific trends. Our results indicate higher genetic diversity in lower latitudes is correlated to productivity and oxygen levels, but does not represent the accumulation ...

Nauplius, 2018 Apart from traditional characters, other data have been used for taxonomy, like color patterns. Based on the different colors (green and orange) observed for some Calcinus tibicen (Herbst, 1761) specimens, we evaluated the genetic distance for cytochrome
