Environmental Transmission of Symbionts in the Mangrove Crabs Aratus pisonii and Minuca rapax: Acquisition of the Bacterial Community through Larval Development to Juvenile Stage

Microorganisms
Aratus pisonii and Minuca rapax are two brachyuran crabs living with bacterial ectosymbionts located on gill lamellae. One previous study has shown that several rod-shaped bacterial morphotypes are present and the community is dominated by ...

Length-weight relationships for some important forage crustaceans from South Africa [PDF]

, 2000
The diet of marine animals is usually determined by stomach content analysis. Although partially digested prey fragments can often be identified to species level, it is difficult to estimate the original mass of the prey organism.

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

Effects of ocean acidification on invertebrate settlement at volcanic CO2 vents [PDF]

, 2010
We present the first study of the effects of ocean acidification on settlement of benthic invertebrates and microfauna. Artificial collectors were placed for 1 month along pH gradients at CO2 vents off Ischia (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy).

Sustainable recovery of a chitin–glucan complex–protein biocomposite from yeast biomass using biocompatible ionic liquids

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Chitin–glucan complex (CGC) is typically extracted from fungal or yeast biomass using harsh alkaline treatments that not only generate high‐salt, organic‐rich effluents, but also negatively impact the structural and functional properties of the recovered copolymer, while wasting the yeast protein fraction, which is discarded.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
