Climate Change and invasibility of the Antarctic benthos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Benthic communities living in shallow-shelf habitats in Antarctica (<100-m depth) are archaic in their structure and function. Modern predators, including fast-moving, durophagous (skeleton-crushing) bony fish, sharks, and crabs, are rare or absent ...

Catchment Productivity Controls Local Species Richness of Hyporheic Invertebrate Communities in Tropical New Caledonia Streams

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
How does the local species richness (LSR) of stream invertebrate communities relate to the terrestrial productivity of the stream catchment? Using generalized linear models and variance partitioning, we quantified the independent and joint effects of local and catchment predictors on LSR of hyporheic invertebrate communities in New Caledonia streams ...

Factors affecting intraspecific diet variation of ducklings: Niche partitioning in a heterogeneous landscape?

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Variability in resource use within populations of free‐ranging animals can influence demographic and evolutionary processes. Yet in many ecological systems, the extent of intra‐population variation in the resources that animals consume and the environmental factors that contribute to this variance remain poorly understood. For example, dietary

Biodiversity of macrozoobenthos in a large river, the Austrian Danube, including quantitative studies in a free-flowing stretch below Vienna: a short review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The Danube is ca. 2850 km in length and is the second largest river in Europe. The Austrian part of the Danube falls 156 metres in altitude over its 351 km length and, since the early 1950s, the river has been developed into a power-generating waterway ...

The crab Neohelice (=Chasmagnathus) granulata: An emergent animal model from emergent countries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Neohelice granulata (previously known as Chasmagnathus granulata and C. granulatus) is a burrowing semiterrestrial crab found in the intertidal zone of estuaries, salt marshes and mangroves of the South-western Atlantic Ocean. Beginning in the late 1989s,

Early egg traits in Cancer setosus (Decapoda, Brachyura): effects of temperature and female size

open access: yes, 2009
Previous study on Cancer setosus (Molina, 1782) had shown that latitudinal changes in temperature control the number of annual egg masses. This study focused on the effects of pre-oviposition temperature and female size on egg-traits in C.

On the origin and evolution of Antarctic Peracarida (Crustacea, Malacostraca)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 1999
The early separation of Gondwana and the subsequent isolation of Antarctica caused a long evolutionary history of its fauna. Both, long environmental stability over millions of years and habitat heterogeneity, due to an abundance of sessile suspension ...
