Conditioning cultured Diadema antillarum through uncaged mid‐water grow‐out shifts behavior and morphology

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The long‐spined black sea urchin Diadema antillarum is a keystone herbivore on Caribbean reefs, yet population recovery following mass mortality events has been slow and spatially variable. Restocking programs increasingly rely on aquaculture, but rearing conditions may generate behavioral and morphological shifts that affect post‐

Assessing microplastic accumulation in the hepatopancreas of marine and freshwater crabs from the North-East Part of the Bay of Bengal

Environmental Research Communications
Microplastic pollution significantly impacts both marine and freshwater ecosystems, posing a growing concern for aquatic organisms and food safety. This research focuses on comparing microplastic contamination in the hepatopancreas of three edible crab ...

Different processes lead to similar patterns: a test of codivergence and the role of sea level and climate changes in shaping a southern temperate freshwater assemblage

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Understanding how freshwater assemblages have been formed and maintained is a fundamental goal in evolutionary and ecological disciplines. Here we use a historical approach to test the hypothesis of codivergence in three clades of the Chilean ...

Freshwater Crabs of Upper Baleh River, Sarawak

Borneo Journal of Resource Science and Technology, 2018
Freshwater crabs are among the most threatened species, primarily due to their high levels of endemicity, poor dispersal ability, low fecundity and the relatively fragmented nature of freshwater ecosystems. Consequently, regional diversity of freshwater crabs can serve as surrogates for assessing the quality of aquatic habitats in the upper reaches of ...

Microbial mats and thalassinid shrimp: Spatial and geochemical interactions in a modern intertidal environment

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research examines the spatial and geochemical interactions between mat‐forming microorganisms and thalassinid shrimp in an intertidal flat situated on the shores of Willapa Bay, Washington, USA. The study serves as a contemporary analog for the relationships between mats and burrowing organisms in deep time.
