Longevity and Growth of the Crabs Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae (Decapoda: Portunidae) in Paraíso Tabasco Mexico

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individual growth models are important in fisheries of natural populations and can be incorporated in production models to estimate their maximum sustainable yield. Blue crab species, Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae were obtained in the Mecoacán lagoon, Paraíso, Tabasco Mexico by “nasa” and “yahual” nets. Biometric values such as

Contributions to the Knowledge of the Larval Morphology of Synalpheus Spence Bate, 1888 (Caridea: Alpheidae): Description of the First Zoea of S. antillensis Coutière, 1909 and S. cf. townsendi Coutière, 1909 Reared in Laboratory

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The first zoea of two Synalpheus species, namely: S. antillensis and S. cf. townsendi, are herein described. They were also compared with the genus descriptions and with their respective species complexes available in the literature. Morphological information on Synalpheus zoea I exhibits an increase from 19 to 21 species, and it corresponds ...

Redescription of the First Zoeal Stage of Shrimp Cinetorhynchus rigens (Gordon, 1936) (Decapoda: Rhynchocinetidae) and New Perspectives Including Scanning Electron Microscopy

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cinetorhynchus occur mainly in shallow waters of temperate to tropical regions. Among the 28 species of Rhynchocinetidae, there are only six with larval morphology known and the description of the larva of Cinetorhynchus rigens is succinct. Thus, we redescribe the zoea I of C.

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

Growth parameters and age estimates of the mouthless crab, Cardisoma crassum Smith, 1870 (Brachyura: Gecarcinidae) from the Montijo Gulf, Pacific coast of Panama

Nauplius
The asymptotic carapace width (L ∞ ) and growth coefficient (k) parameters of the mouthless crab, Cardisoma crassum, were estimated, and the von Bertalanffy growth function was fitted to predict mean crab carapace width at different ages.

Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

Sea turtle hatchling carapace as a source of high quantity and quality DNA

, 2016
Hatchling DNA provides valuable information on sea turtles. Samples can be obtained from dead hatchlings or embryo, or, when live animal samples are needed, from blood, flipper or carapace. We compared 120 DNA extractions from flipper and carapace tissue

3D Carapace Asymmetry in Tortoises: A Geometric Morphometric Analysis

Bilateral symmetry is a defining feature of the tortoise carapace; however, perfect symmetry is rarely achieved in biological systems. This study aimed to quantify bilateral carapace asymmetry in two tortoise species, the Leopard tortoise (Stigmochelys ...
