Green Sea Turtle Recruitment in the Eastern North Pacific: Patterns Identified Using Geochemical Signatures in Bones

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
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 ...

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

open access: yesNauplius
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.

Filter feeding by oysters reduces disease transmission in a marine host–parasite system

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.

Morphological Adaptations for Shell Anchoring in Calcinus tibicen: Insights From µCT Imaging, Histology and Scanning Electron Microscopy

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT 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.
