Up and away: ontogenic transference as a pathway for aerial dispersal of microplastics [PDF]
, 2018 Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous pollutants found in marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. With so many MPs in aquatic systems it is inevitable that they will be ingested by aquatic organisms, and be transferred up through the food chain ...

Benthic bioturbations weaken the stability of blue carbon storage
National Science OpenCoastal ecosystems are known for their ability to sequester organic carbon (OC), termed “blue carbon”. The molecular composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) can affect sediment OC content; however, the impact of benthic bioturbation on DOM ...

Unidirectional Optomotor Responses and Eye Dominance in Two Species of Crabs
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Animals, from invertebrates to humans, stabilize the panoramic optic flow through compensatory movements of the eyes, the head or the whole body, a behavior known as optomotor response (OR).

Contrasting Patterns of Clinal Genetic Diversity and Potential Colonization Pathways in Two Species of Western Atlantic Fiddler Crabs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Fiddler crabs (Brachyura, Ocypodidae), like many other marine organisms, disperse via planktonic larvae. A lengthy pelagic larval duration is generally assumed to result in genetic connectivity even among distant populations.

Growling from the gut: co-option of the gastric mill for acoustic communication in ghost crabs. [PDF]
, 2019 Animal acoustic communication systems can be built upon co-opted structures that become specialized for sound production or morphological novelties. The ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata, evolved a novel stridulation apparatus on the claws that is used during
