Multimodal signals: ultraviolet reflectance and chemical cues in stomatopod agonistic encounters [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
Complex signals are commonly used during intraspecific contests over resources to assess an opponent's fighting ability and/or aggressive state. Stomatopod crustaceans may use complex signals when competing aggressively for refuges.

Animal contests and microplastics: evidence of disrupted behaviour in hermit crabs Pagurus bernhardus

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
Microplastics are ubiquitous in global marine systems and may have negative impacts on a vast range of species. Recently, microplastics were shown to impair shell selection assessments in hermit crabs, an essential behaviour for their survival.

Exoskeletal predator defenses of juvenile California spiny lobsters (Panulirus interruptus) are affected by fluctuating ocean acidification-like conditions

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Spiny lobsters rely on multiple biomineralized exoskeletal predator defenses that may be sensitive to ocean acidification (OA). Compromised mechanical integrity of these defensive structures may tilt predator-prey outcomes, leading to increased mortality
