Reproductive Biology of the Smoothtail Spiny Lobster (Panulirus laevicauda) to Support Fisheries Management in Southeastern Brazil

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The smoothtail spiny lobster (Panulirus laevicauda) is one of the main target species for fisheries in Brazil. We aimed to estimate reproductive parameters of this species in support of a minimum legal size limit for the region. A sample of 508 individuals ranged 13.75–100 mm in cephalothorax length (CL) from the southern coast of Espírito ...

Unexpected spatial aggregation between two species of hummingbirds and their inconsistent spatial interactions with native and exotic plants in an urban ecological reserve

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Hummingbirds play an important role as pollinators and are one of the primary examples of animal–plant coevolution. However, factors such as land‐use change, urbanization, exotic species introductions and the disappearance of native plants can negatively affect the persistence of hummingbird populations.

Species traits modulate ecological release in island red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae)

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We studied the species ability to undergo an ecological release process in the red devil spiders (Araneae: Dysderidae) when colonising species‐depauperate environments, focusing on different aspects of their niche. We have found that the ability to expand their niche is highly dependent on the species trophic strategy, with specialist species being ...
