Aspects of the biology of the lagoon crab Callinectes amnicola (Derocheburne) in Badagry, Lagos and Lekki lagoons, Nigeria [PDF]
A preliminary report of the size, composition, growth pattern and food habits of the blue crab, Callinectes amnicola, (De Rocheburne) in the Badagry, Lagos and Lekki Lagoons (Nigeria) is presented.

We present vital life‐history and demographic data including the oceanic stage duration, timing of ontogenetic habitat shifts, and multi‐year foraging patterns of eastern North Pacific green sea turtles found in Southern California. The findings were obtained by analyzing sea turtle bones (age and growth via skeletochronology; and habitat and diet via ...

Filter feeding by oysters reduces disease transmission in a marine host–parasite system
Abstract As a mechanism of the dilution effect, predation and filter feeding on parasitic propagules are hypothesized to reduce transmission to susceptible hosts and alter host–parasite interactions. In marine systems, the effect of other community members on the disease dynamics of microparasites in their suitable hosts is poorly known.
