Swimming crab in a bottle: A two‐month drift on the ocean surface while entrapped

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Marine debris negatively impacts coastal marine ecosystems through ghost fishing gear that traps marine life, entanglement, and the transport of biofouling communities outside their native habitats. During a boat survey on July 15, 2022, a female swimming crab (Portunus sanguinolentus) entrapped inside a high‐density polyethylene bottle was ...

The evolutionary ecology of decorating behaviour [PDF]

, 2015
Many animals decorate themselves through the accumulation of environmental material on their exterior. Decoration has been studied across a range of different taxa, but there are substantial limits to current understanding.

Vertebrate community composition and activity at giant otter latrines in the northern Pantanal

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mustelids and other terrestrial carnivores use communal latrines where feces and urine serve as olfactory cues for territory demarcation and intraspecific communication. These strong scent cues may also influence the broader vertebrate community, either acting as an attractant for species in search of food or as a warning of predator presence.

Harnessing iEcology data to uncover invasive species behaviour

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1022-1031, April 2026.
Abstract Invasive animal species threaten ecosystems, biodiversity and human livelihoods. Behavioural traits such as boldness, exploratory tendencies, learning ability and social interactions are known to influence invasion success. Yet these behavioural traits remain underexplored due to challenges in observing behaviour across large spatial and ...

Seagrass Gains: Faster Growth, Better Condition, Less Effort for Juvenile Snapper (Chrysophrys auratus)

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
Seagrass habitats are widely recognised as key nursery areas for juvenile fish, yet their specific role in supporting growth and condition remains incompletely understood. This study investigates the diet, growth and condition of juvenile (0+) snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) across multiple habitats in the Hauraki Gulf and northeastern New Zealand, with ...

A biodiverse housing market in hermit crabs: proposal for a new biodiversity index

Cuadernos de investigación UNED, 2012
Cuantificar la variación de la biodiversidad es un objetivo importante de la biología. Sin embargo, debido a que tales inventarios, en especial para la biodiversidad marina, son costosos, difíciles y consumen mucho tiempo, hay un gran valor en ...

Exposure of benthic invertebrates to sediment vibration: From laboratory experiments to outdoor simulated pile-driving [PDF]

Activities directly interacting with the seabed, such as pile-driving, can produce vibrations that have the potential to impact benthic invertebrates within their vicinity.
