Annotated checklist of brachyuran crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda) of the Iberian Peninsula (SW Europe)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2015
Almost 50 years have passed since a group of reputed carcinologists (viz. Lipke B. Holthuis, Isabella Gordon and Jacques Forest) finished the posthumous work of Ricardo Zariquiey Álvarez (1968) on decapod crustaceans of the Iberian Peninsula. No lists of

Crushing and Cutting: Shape Variation and Morphological Integration Between the Claws of Two Swimming Crab Species (Brachyura: Portunidae)

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated shape variations and morphological integration between the components of crusher and cutter claws in two species of swimming crabs, Callinectes danae and Callinectes ornatus. The propodi and dactyli of the claws were analysed in males and females of both species, using geometric morphometric techniques to identify ...

Habitat use governs distribution patterns of saprophagous (litter-transforming) macroarthropods - a case study of British woodlice (Isopoda: Oniscidea)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2012
Despite the importance of saprophagous macroarthropods as key facilitators of plant litter decomposition within ecosystems and their likely sensitivity to global climate change and land-use change, a lack of ecological data has precluded attempts to ...

Lipid oxidation kinetics of ozone-processed shrimp during iced storage using peroxide value measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this research, in situ generated ozone exposure/wash cycles of 1, 3, and 5 min applied to shrimp samples either before (BIS) or during iced storage (DIS) has been used to study the lipid oxidation kinetics using the peroxide values (PV). The induction

Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.
