The complete mitochondrial genome of Alpheus hoplocheles (Decapoda: Alpheidae)
The snapping shrimp genus Alpheus is the most diverse and abundant genus of Caridea. However, the phylogenetic and taxonomic studies have so far been limited. In this study, we report the third complete mitochondrial genome of Alpheus from A. hoplocheles.

High Species Richness of Decapod Crustaceans on an Urban Rocky Shore Beach
The rocky intertidal shore of La Caleta, an urban beach located in Cádiz (SW Spain), was surveyed for decapod crustaceans over a year. Samplings were taken monthly (March 2015 to February 2016) in three differentiated zones during the spring low tides of

First record of the Sculptured Mitten Lobster Parribacus antarcticus (Crustacea, Decapoda, Scyllaridae) from the Cabo Verde Islands (eastern Atlantic) [PDF]
The lobster genus Parribacuscontains six living and one fossil species (Holthuis 1991; Chan 2010; Nyborg & Garassino 2017). In the Atlantic Ocean, only one living species is known, Parribacus antarcticus(Lund, 1793); it has been recorded in the western ...

Predicting oxygen thresholds of marine taxa to improve ecological forecasts
Species' ranges are shifting in response to increasing temperature and decreasing oxygen in coastal oceans. Predicting these shifts is limited by information on physiological oxygen thresholds and how they depend on temperature. Here we collate laboratory‐derived measurements of a common oxygen threshold, pcrit, for 148 animal species that span six ...

Density-dependent effect on reproductive behaviour of Lysmata amboinensis and L. boggessi (Decapoda: Caridea: Hippolytidae) [PDF]
We compared the reproductive behaviours of two protandric simultaneous hermaphroditic species (Lysmata amboinensis and L. boggessi) that belong to two groups of Lysmata shrimp with different morphology, geographical distribution, and density.

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 ...

The parthenogenetic Marmorkrebs (Malacostraca: Decapoda: Cambaridae) is a triploid organism
There is a close association between parthenogenesis and polyploidy. For this reason, we undertook a karyological analysis to test whether the parthenogenetic Marmorkrebs, Procambarus fallax forma virginalis, possesses an enlarged set of chromosomes. For
