Global status, impacts, and management of rocky temperate mesophotic ecosystems
Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.Abstract The ecology and function of rocky temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) remain poorly understood globally despite their widespread distribution. They typically occur at 20–150 m (the limit of photosynthesis), and on rocky substratum they support rich benthic communities and mobile fauna.

Complex Patterns of Habitat Use by Juvenile Spider Crabs Maja Brachydactila Revealed by Stable Isotope Analyses [PDF]
, 2005 [Abstract] Patterns of habitat use by spider crab juveniles, Maja brachydactila, from two geographic areas in the NW coast of the Iberian Peninsula, were analyzed through the analysis of Carbon and Nitrogen stable isotope relations in two tissues (muscle

Epibiosis and masking material in the spider crab Maja squinado (Decapoda: Majidae) in the Ría de Arousa (Galicia, NW Spain) [PDF]
, 1997 [Abstract] Majid crabs present a marked masking behaviour, which, in addition to the phenomenon of epibiosis on their exoskeleton, constitutes a complex camouflage system to ward off predators.
