Long‐Term Trends in Juvenile Blue Crab Recruitment Patterns in a Wind‐Driven Estuary

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conserving exploited marine species requires understanding population dynamics across life stages and habitats. This study analyzes juvenile blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) recruitment trends in North Carolina's Albemarle‐Pamlico Estuarine System.

Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Adult and Juvenile Turtle Shells: Directional Asymmetry and Fluctuating Asymmetry

open access: yesDiversity
Bilateral symmetry is quite common in animals, but in some cases, asymmetry can be altered by hereditary or developmental processes. Symmetry may be preserved, or asymmetry may increase as the developmental stages progress.

Joint Spatiotemporal Models for the Estimation of Prey Consumption and Predator–Prey Overlap: Dynamics of Pacific Cod Predation on Snow and Tanner Crab in the Eastern Bering Sea

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) are important predators of juvenile snow (Chionoecetes opilio) and Tanner crab (Chionoecetes bairdi) in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS), yet the relationship between cod–crab spatial overlap and total crab consumption is only partially understood.

Characterization of Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles in the Florida Big Bend Area: Final report [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempo is considered the most endangered of the seven extant marine turtle species (Ross et al. 1989). The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) estimate the breeding ...

Analysis of Sea Turtle Bycatch by Andalusia Pelagic Longline Fleet in the Northeast Atlantic

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Northeast Atlantic is one of the most crucial foraging grounds for juvenile loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), while also serving as an important fishing area for the Andalusia surface longline fishery. The main aim of present study is to assess the sea turtle interaction with the Andalusia pelagic

The slipper lobster, Scyllarides latus, uses apatite and fluorapatite to protect its sensory organules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The cuticle of arthropods has been intensely studied not only to better understand the properties of a natural composite material, but also to understand how structural properties and mineral contributions to this composite offer a durable protective ...

First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical
