Comparing the Development and Viability of Horseshoe Crab Eggs Laid in Beach and Salt Marsh Habitats [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, has recently been found to spawn regularly in salt marshes, despite the long‐held assumption that salt marsh sediments are not conducive for embryonic development.

Immune Responses to Gram-Negative Bacteria in Hemolymph of the Chinese Horseshoe Crab, Tachypleus tridentatus [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Chinese horseshoe crab, Tachypleus tridentatus, is an ancient marine arthropod with a long evolutionary history. As a kind of living fossil species, the pathogen defenses of horseshoe crabs entirely depend on the innate immune system. Although, there are

Diversity and evolutionary history of RNA viruses among different horseshoe crab species [PDF]
Journal of VirologyHorseshoe crabs (Xiphosura: Limulidae) are the sole surviving species of the class Merostomata, with only four extant species remaining today. Recent advances in metagenomic next-generation sequencing have unveiled a vast diversity of RNA viruses and non-
