Crustaceans have long been used for peptide research. For example, the process of neurosecretion was first formally demonstrated in the crustacean X-organ-sinus gland system, and the first fully characterized invertebrate neuropeptide was from a shrimp.

Foraging and microhabitat use by crustacean-feeding wrasses on coral reefs
, 2016Crustaceans are an important component of coral reef ecosystems, occupying a broad range of microhabitats, but achieving the greatest biomass in dead coral and coral rubble.

Neurohæmal Organs in Crustaceans
Nature, 1953A NUMBER of structures of nervous origin in the higher Crustacea have recently been described under a variety of names, although they show a unity of structure and possibly of function. We wish to propose, tentatively, a common name to denote organs of this type in crustaceans, in order to avoid a needless multiplicity of names for organs which have ...

Crustacean-derived biomimetic components and nanostructured composites.
Small, 2014Over millions of years, the crustacean exoskeleton has evolved into a rigid, tough, and complex cuticle that is used for structural support, mobility, protection of vital organs, and defense against predation. The crustacean cuticle is characterized by a

Thermal behaviour of crustaceans
Biological Reviews, 2006ABSTRACTSpecific thermoreceptors or putative multimodal thermoreceptors are not known in Crustacea. However, behavioural studies on thermal avoidance and preference and on the effects of temperature on motor activity indicate that the thermosensitivity of crustaceans may be in the range 0.2–2°C. Work on planktonic crustaceans suggests that they respond

The Circadian System of Crustaceans
Chronobiology International, 1993Crustaceans exhibit a variety of overt circadian rhythms. Observations on intact animals suggest the existence of more than one circadian pacemaker in the nervous system. Ablation experiments so far have been inconclusive in pin-pointing the location of putative pacemakers.

Crustaceans - familiar to the average person as shrimp, lobsters, crabs, krill, barnacles, and their many relatives-are easily one of the most important and diverse groups of marine life.
