Fine-scale diversity of prey detected in humpback whale feces. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 We investigated the prey consumed by humpback whales in three heterogenous regions in southern British Columbia, Canada, using opportunistic faecal sampling, microscopy, and DNA metabarcoding of 14 faecal samples. Fish including Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii), hake (Merluccius productus), and eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) were the most common ...

Functional and phylogenetic responses of motile cryptofauna to habitat degradation. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2022 Uncovering the hidden biodiversity of coral reefs. Divers mostly see corals and fishes, but these authors have found increased numbers and diversity of tiny animals hidden in dead coral and rubble. Such animals are overlooked, but may help support food webs and functioning as the living coral structure degrades. Abstract Biodiversity of terrestrial and

Emigration patterns of motile cryptofauna and their implications for trophic functioning in coral reefs. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The density and diversity of species on coral reefs are greatest in dead coral and rubble, but this is driven by some of the smallest unseen individuals, limiting how accessible this energy is in the food web. Our study addresses this gap, showing how small‐scale patterns of movement influence prey accessibility, species' interactions, and community ...

sexual shape dimorphism of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) (Decapoda, Ucididae) accessed through geometric morphometric. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2014 Sexual dimorphism is often observed in Crustaceans. Considering the great diversity of this subphylum, only few reports are found in the literature and most are mainly based on traditional morphometry. The present study uses geometric morphometrics analysis to identify sexual dimorphism by shape variation in the overexploited semiterrestrial crab ...

Transcriptomic analysis reveals insights into deep-sea adaptations of the dominant species, Shinkaia crosnieri (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura), inhabiting both hydrothermal vents and cold seeps [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are typical deep-sea chemosynthetically-driven ecosystems that allow high abundance of specialized macro-benthos.
