Bioturbation by the Ghost Shrimp Lepidophthalmus louisianensis Increases Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation for Coastal Sediments in Mildly Oiled Mesocosms [PDF]
MicroorganismsBioturbating animals move around large amounts of sediment, changing its physicochemical properties and biogeochemical processes. The present study assessed the role of the ghost shrimp Lepidophthalmus louisianensis, a major coastal bioturbator in the ...

Growth, inter- and intraspecific variation, palaeobiogeography, taphonomy and systematics of the Cenozoic ghost shrimpGlypturus [PDF]
Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2015 Studies in systematic palaeontology are greatly aided when numerous, well-preserved specimens are available so that quantitative methods can be used to substantiate qualitative observations. This is often not the case for fossil decapod crustaceans due to their relatively low preservation potential.

Hydraulic activities by ghost shrimp Neotrypaea californiensis induce oxic-anoxic oscillations in sediments [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2012 Porewater pressure sensing, time-lapse photography, and planar optode imaging of oxygen were applied to investigate hydraulic activities by thalassinidean ghost shrimp Neotrypaea californiensis and the associated dynamics of oxygen in and around their ...

Systematics, phylogeny, and taphonomy of ghost shrimps (Decapoda): a perspective from the fossil record [PDF]
Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2015 Ghost shrimps of Callianassidae and Ctenochelidae are soft-bodied, usually heterochelous decapods representing major bioturbators of muddy and sandy (sub)marine substrates.

Interannual Differences in the Estuarine Ghost Shrimp, Neotrypaea californiensis
, 2010 The dispersal of invertebrate marine larvae can be expected to be wide ranging and show little population structure. Neotrypaea californiensis, the burrowing ghost shrimp, is found throughout the waters and coastal estuaries of the northwestern United ...

Assessing Loggerhead Turtle Exposure to Fisheries in Northwest Africa: Predicted Risk and Management Gaps [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Biologging and Global Fishing Watch data reveal extensive spatial and vertical overlap between loggerhead turtles from the Cabo Verde population and fisheries across the Northeast Atlantic, highlighting areas of high predicted bycatch risk and gaps in current protections. ABSTRACT Bycatch is the accidental capture of non‐target animals in fishing gear,
