A Lobster-inspired Hybrid Actuator With Rigid and Soft Components [PDF]
, 2020 Soft actuators have drawn significant attention from researchers with an inherently compliant design to address the safety issues in physical human-robot interactions. However, they are also vulnerable and pose new challenges in the design, fabrication, and analysis due to their inherent material softness.

Roles of mechanistic target of rapamycin and transforming growth factor-B signaling in the molting gland (Y-organ) of the blackback land crab, Gecarcinus lateralis [PDF]
, 2016 Molting in decapod crustaceans is controlled by molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), an eyestalk neuropeptide that suppresses production of ecdysteroids by a pair of molting glands (Y-organs or YOs). Eyestalk ablation (ESA) activates the YOs, which hypertrophy

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Compiling trait information promotes discovery and innovation in using trait‐based approaches in ecology. Various zooplankton trait datasets are stored in unlinked data repositories, in diverse data structures, and have varying levels of complexity.

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2016 Crustacean hemocytes are important mediators of immune reactions, and the regulation of hemocyte homeostasis is of utmost importance for the health of these animals. This review discusses the current knowledge on the lineages, synthesis and differentiation of hemocytes in crustaceans.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 20, Issue 12, Page 789-810, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Mid‐trophic level (MTL) organisms play a key role in the sub‐Antarctic ecosystem food web, linking primary producers and tertiary consumers transferring energy across trophic levels. In this region, the relative abundance of MTLs has been monitored using single‐frequency acoustic data collected opportunistically in a time series of trawl ...

A Lagrangian model of copepod dynamics: Clustering by escape jumps in turbulence [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 93, 043117 (2016), 2016 Planktonic copepods are small crustaceans that have the ability to swim by quick powerful jumps. Such an aptness is used to escape from high shear regions, which may be caused either by flow per- turbations, produced by a large predator (i.e., fish larvae), or by the inherent highly turbulent dynamics of the ocean.
