Abstract Using a new character matrix composed of revised matrices of previous analyses and new morphological findings, the phylogeny of Malacostraca (Pancrustacea) is analysed anew with 207 characters for 35 terminal taxa across all recognized orders. Particular emphasis was placed on methodological versatility, including different degrees of implied ...

DNA testing of edible crabs from seafood shops on the Odisha coast, India
Seafood consumption is highly demanding due to the important source of protein it contains, as well as being rich in omega-3 fatty acids. However, the adulteration of seafood is an alarming issue worldwide, including India.

Taxonomical study of laboratory reared first to eight zoeal stages of Lysmata vittata (Stimpson, 1860) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Hippolytidae) [PDF]
The larvae of Hippolytidae show such diversity that it is impossible to frame any definition which will distinguish them as a whole from other Caridea (Gurney, 1942).

The oldest “intermetamorphic” larva of an achelatan lobster from the Lower Jurassic Posidonia Shale, South Germany [PDF]
Achelatan lobsters, also known as spiny and slipper lobsters, develop via a highly specialised larval form. This special larva, phyllosoma, is flat, translucent, possesses elongate legs and can grow to enormous sizes.

Food‐webs are a major component of ecosystems and determinant for their functioning and structure. The food chain length (FCL) is a key feature of food‐webs and it is crucial for the resistance of the community to external stressors. The Southern Ocean (SO) food‐web is known for being short and dominated by an Antarctic krill Euphausia superba surplus,

What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?
ABSTRACT Although huge progress has been made over the past 200 years in identifying the diversity of pollinators of angiosperms and other plants, new discoveries continue to be made each year, especially in tropical areas and in the fossil record. In this perspective article I address the following questions: Just how diverse are the pollinators and ...

Cryptic organisms that live within the interstices of reef habitats contribute significantly to coral reef biodiversity. One example of this cryptic biodiversity is the high abundance of decapods in dead coral heads that associated with various biota ...
