Climate Change and invasibility of the Antarctic benthos [PDF]
Benthic communities living in shallow-shelf habitats in Antarctica (<100-m depth) are archaic in their structure and function. Modern predators, including fast-moving, durophagous (skeleton-crushing) bony fish, sharks, and crabs, are rare or absent ...

Early egg traits in Cancer setosus (Decapoda, Brachyura): effects of temperature and female size
Previous study on Cancer setosus (Molina, 1782) had shown that latitudinal changes in temperature control the number of annual egg masses. This study focused on the effects of pre-oviposition temperature and female size on egg-traits in C.

Morphological and DNA sequencing studies of Varunidae specimens, previously considered to belong to the genus Asthenognathus, from eastern Atlantic waters have allowed the description of two new genera and two new species. From a molecular point of view, it is shown that they belong to a new subfamily, distinct from Asthenognathinae and that there are ...

Genetic diversity in wild stocks of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii): implications for aquaculture and conservation [PDF]
The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is cultured widely around the world but little is known about the levels and patterns of genetic diversity in either wild or cultured stocks.

First study investigating temporal changes in the diet of the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) in the Bay of Biscay between 1999 and 2019, we found that the diet of the common dolphin remained mainly composed of small energy‐rich fish species. However, we observed a shift in minor prey from upper slopes habitats to coastal waters reflecting a shift ...

The implementation of eDNA biomonitoring in tropical estuaries allowed us to draw several conclusions pertaining to biodiversity patterns in tropical estuaries subjected to different levels of human disturbance. All taxonomic groups, in both the water column and sediments, were primarily structured by the ecological status of the estuary.

Old methane fuels modern river food web
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Dominant ecological paradigms provide theoretical frameworks for two basal sources of carbon to riverine food webs: carbon fixed by algae and submerged macrophytes (autochthonous) and carbon fixed by terrestrial vascular plants that enters aquatic ecosystems as litter ...
