A comprehensive embryonic staging series of the turtle Trachemys scripta

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Turtles hold a unique place in vertebrate evolutionary history, making them critical assets in embryology research. Yet, they remain understudied as potential model organisms in the field. Here, to support experimental manipulations with turtle embryos, we have created a complete normal table of development for comprehensive ...

Trace element biomineralisation in the carapace in male and female Argulus japonicus

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Parasites of fishes have been shown to be effective bioindicators of the aquatic environment. Few investigations have been conducted on ectoparasite models and therefore little is known about the fate of trace elements and metals which they accumulate ...

Morphometric differentiation in small juveniles of the pink spotted shrimp (Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis) and the southern pink shrimp (F. notialis) in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The morphometric and morphological characters of the rostrum have been widely used to identify penaeid shrimp species (Heales et al., 1985; Dall et al., 1990; Pendrey et al., 1999).

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

Resource quantity affects infection success and impacts of a microsporidian on hosts

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Resource quantity in the environment often changes over time and influences the nutritional status of hosts that may encounter parasites. If resource availability significantly alters both infection success and within‐host growth of a parasite, fluctuations in resources may underlie the seasonal disease outbreaks that have been observed for some ...

The burrow structure of Minuca osa (Brachyura: Ocypodidae) from the eastern Montijo Gulf, Panamanian Pacific [PDF]

open access: yesNauplius
Between November 2022 and March 2023, thirty-seven Minuca osa burrow plaster casts were poured while simultaneously collecting biometric data of the occupants in Ponuga, eastern Montijo Gulf, Panamanian Pacific. Casts revealed a highly variable structure

Morphometric data for five freshwater turtles in south, central, and west Texas

open access: yesData in Brief, 2020
From 2008 to 2013, we sampled freshwater turtle populations at 66 sites in south, central, and west Texas, USA. Sampling sites included ponds, lakes, resacas (oxbow lakes), canals, and rivers.
