Sexual dimorphism and length weight relationship in chestnut crab, Cardisoma carnifex Herbst, 1796 (Decapoda: Gecarcinidae) of Parangipettai stock, Tamilnadu, India [PDF]

Arthropods
The present study was conducted in the Parangipettai mangrove area of Tamilnadu, India, from November 2021 to April 2022, which aims to investigate the relationships between carapace length-weight and carapace width-weight of the chestnut crab, Cardisoma

Morphometrics and Reproductive Characteristics of the Freshwater Crab Sartoriana spinigera from the Habitat of Ratargul Swamp Forest, Bangladesh: An Approach to Conservation

Scientifica
A total of 332 freshwater crab Sartoriana spinigera samples were collected for eight consecutive months from the Ratargul freshwater swamp forest, Bangladesh, to examine their general morphometrics and reproductive traits. The length-weight relationships

Using value of information in recovery planning for imperiled species

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation planning often employs predictive models to prioritize alternative actions, but uncertainty related to lack of data or uncertainty in the influence of global change may erode confidence in predictions. Managers must choose between investing time and money to gather more information, or implementing conservation actions immediately, despite

When marine turtles and vessels overlap: Mapping encounter risk along Florida's Atlantic coast

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Marine turtles face significant risks from vessel encounters, interventive measures require knowledge of the overlap between turtles and vessels. To identify areas and seasons with the highest likelihood of turtle–vessel interactions and inform regional management, we assessed the spatiotemporal overlap between turtles, vessels and stranded turtles ...

Boldness Predicts Nest‐Site Choice of a Freshwater Turtle in an Anthropogenically Disturbed Landscape

Ethology, EarlyView.
One measure of antipredator behavioral boldness predicted turtle nest distance to the nearest human‐made structure. Turtles experienced two behavioral assays to quantify boldness (left panel). Turtles that displayed more bold behaviors during simulated predation nested closer to human‐made structures (top right) than their shyer counterparts (bottom ...

Examining the Impact of Derelict Pots on Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Catch and Harvest Within a Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

Comparative transcriptomics suggests a potential realizator gene for carapace expansion in longtail tadpole shrimp, Triops longicaudatus (Branchiopoda: Notostraca)

The origin of morphological innovation has been extensively studied within evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo). Recent studies have demonstrated that the developmental module for double-layered epithelial outgrowths is conserved between the ...

Effect of Selection for High Growth on Resilience of Giant Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resilience is the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by disturbances or to rapidly return to its pre‐disturbance state. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has investigated resilience in the giant freshwater prawn (GFP, Macrobrachium rosenbergii).

Macroalgae respond to consumer‐mediated nutrient cycling in a temperate ecosystem

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Primary production in coastal upwelling regions has often been presumed to be supported primarily by allochthonous nutrients, but inconsistent nutrient delivery and the metabolic cost of nitrate assimilation can leave producers nitrogen limited during the growing season. As a potential supplement for insufficient allochthonous supply, nutrient
