Freshwater shrimp (Palaemonetes australis) as a potential bioindicator of crustacean health [PDF]

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2010
Palaemonetes australis is a euryhaline shrimp found in southwestern Australian estuaries. To determine if P. australis is a suitable bioindicator species for monitoring the health of estuarine biota, they were exposed to measured concentrations of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) at 0.01, 0.1, or 1 ppm for 14 days under ...

Geometric Morphometrics Reveal Body Shape Variation in Freshwater Shrimps of the Genus Macrobrachium Lacking a Mandibular Palp (Formerly Pseudopalaemon Sollaud, 1911) (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shape variation in the cephalothorax of Macrobrachium species without mandibular palp using geometric morphometrics was used as a tool to support species differentiation and propose new diagnostic characters for taxonomic identification.

Contributions to the Knowledge of the Larval Morphology of Synalpheus Spence Bate, 1888 (Caridea: Alpheidae): Description of the First Zoea of S. antillensis Coutière, 1909 and S. cf. townsendi Coutière, 1909 Reared in Laboratory

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The first zoea of two Synalpheus species, namely: S. antillensis and S. cf. townsendi, are herein described. They were also compared with the genus descriptions and with their respective species complexes available in the literature. Morphological information on Synalpheus zoea I exhibits an increase from 19 to 21 species, and it corresponds ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership
