Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.The Southern King Crab (Lithodes santolla), an ecologically and commercially important species in sub‐Antarctic waters. In this study, we assembled the first gill de novo transcriptome of L. santolla to characterize gene expression related to environmental responses.

Seasonal variation in bay‐marsh sediment exchange through a back‐barrier salt marsh tidal creek
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3143-3154, November 2025.Abstract Salt marsh resilience to sea‐level rise largely depends on the balance of sediment exchanges with surrounding bays. In this study, we investigate mechanisms that determine residual sediment fluxes using continuous measurements of bay‐marsh sediment exchange conducted in a tidal creek spanning 13 months (753 tidal cycles) in an intertidal marsh

Current Zoology, 2009 The Atlantic sand fiddler crab Uca pugilator, is an extremely abundant crab found along the eastern coast of the United States. Fiddler crabs have a life cycle with an obligatory planktonic larval phase of 30–90 days, which might be expected to lead to ...

Widespread crab burrows enhance greenhouse gas emissions from coastal blue carbon ecosystems
Communications Earth & EnvironmentFiddler crabs, as coastal ecosystem engineers, play a crucial role in enhancing biodiversity and accelerating the flow of material and energy. Here we show how widespread crab burrows modify the carbon sequestration capacity of different habitats across ...

A preference for a sexual signal keeps females safe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Predation is generally thought to constrain sexual selection by female choice and limit the evolution of conspicuous sexual signals. Under high predation risk, females usually become less choosy, because they reduce their exposure to their predators by ...

The behavioral responses of the fiddler crab, UCA PUGILATOR, to ionizing irradiation [PDF]
, 1964 Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University. Note: Page 24 is missing.Many animals, invertebrates as well as vertebrates, have demonstrated an ability to somehow sense ionizing irradiation.

Circatidal and Circadian Rhythms of Locomotion in Limulus polyphemus [PDF]
, 2004 The nocturnal increases in the sensitivity of the lateral eye of Limulus polyphemus, the species of horseshoe crab found along the Atlantic coast, have been firmly established as being controlled by an endogenous circadian clock (1,2,3) located in the ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 924-952, November 2025.This study investigates the morphology, abundance, and distribution of taste papillae in the oropharyngeal cavity of a range of elasmobranchs using SEM, histology, and topographic analyses. The interspecific importance of gustation is reflected in quantitative differences in the size, density, and distribution of taste papillae, which have implications
