Lighten up the dark: metazoan parasites as indicators for the ecology of Antarctic crocodile icefish (Channichthyidae) from the north-west Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Due to its remote and isolated location, Antarctica is home to a unique diversity of species. The harsh conditions have shaped a primarily highly adapted endemic fauna. This includes the notothenioid family Channichthyidae.

A space‐for‐time framework for forecasting the effects of ocean stratification on zooplankton vertical habitat use and trait composition

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 68, Issue 12, Page 2688-2702, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The effects of environmental change on zooplankton communities, and more broadly, pelagic ecosystems are difficult to predict due to the high diversity of ecological strategies and complex interspecific interactions within the zooplankton. Trait‐based approaches can define zooplankton functional groups with distinct responses to environmental ...

Neurochemical diversity in the central olfactory pathway of the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis (Amphipoda): evolutionary implications

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 531, Issue 10, Page 1032-1056, July 2023., 2023
Neurochemical diversity in the central olfactory pathway of Parhyale hawaiensis Abstract In mandibulate arthropods, the primary olfactory centers, termed olfactory lobes in crustaceans, are typically organized in distinct fields of dense synaptic neuropils called olfactory glomeruli.

The Vertical and Horizontal Distribution of Deep-Sea Crustaceans in the Order Euphausiacea in the Vicinity of the DeepWater Horizon Oil Spill

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The vertical and horizontal distributions of Euphausiacea in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM), including the location of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, were analyzed from 340 trawl samples collected between April and June 2011. This study is the first

Probable Mesozoic vicariance in the biogeography of Euphausiacea

open access: green, 1990
The worldwide distribution of Euphausiacea is related to differences in character states found in the genera belonging to this order. An area cladogram is composed. The vicariant events postulated in this study made it possible to distinguish between different “hydroplates” of the “hydrotectonic (cf. Nelson, 1986) system” on the basis of general trends

A note on stomach contents of minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in Icelandic waters

open access: yesNAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2000
There is limited available information on food habits of minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in coastal Iceland. Sixty-eight minke whales were examined for stomach contents; 51.5% contained fish only, 22.1 % krill (Euphausiacea) only, 25.0% fish ...

Taxonomic review of the orders Mysida and Stygiomysida (crustacea, peracarida). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The order Mysida (2 families, 178 genera, 1132 species) contains species across a broad range of habitats, such as subterranean, fresh, brackish, coastal, and surface to deep-sea habitats. The Stygiomysida (2 families, 2 genera, 16 species), however, are

Revealing zooplankton diversity in the midnight zone

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Zooplankton diversity in the deep “midnight zone” (>1000 m), where sunlight does not reach, remains largely unknown. Uncovering such diversity has been challenging because of the major difficulties in sampling deep pelagic fauna and identifying many ...

Larval trypanorhynch (Cestoda) infecting Euphausia americana (Euphausiacea) collected in the Mexican Caribbean Sea

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2013
Euphausiids are marine pelagic crustaceans widely distributed in all latitudes and oceans of the world.They are parasitized by a wide spectrum of parasite species. Cestodes of the Order Trypanorhyncha are endoparasitichelminths that as adults exclusively
