Pelagic amphipods (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Hyperiidea) from the southern Gulf of Mexico with notes on the distribution of species [PDF]
Studies referring the amphipod diversity have been mainly focused on the benthic environment. This study aimed to analye the epipelagic amphipod fauna composition in a sector of the southern Gulf of Mexico (GoM).

Phylogeography and molecular diversity of two highly abundant Themisto amphipod species in a rapidly changing Arctic Ocean. [PDF]
This study investigates the genetic diversity, connectivity and population structure of the two abundant pelagic amphipod species Themisto libellula (Figure a) and Themisto abyssorum (Figure b) in the Arctic. This was achieved using DNA sequence variation at the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene. We show, for the first time, contrasting

Contrasting patterns in the occurrence and biomass centers of gravity among fish and macroinvertebrates in a continental shelf ecosystem. [PDF]
Habitat models for marine fish and macroinvertebrates were used to estimate occurrence and biomass center of gravity (COG). The COGs of occupancy and biomass habitat were separated by significant distances and trended over time. These results suggest that climate change forced change in distribution will differentially affect occurrence and biomass of ...

Seasonal shifts in feeding patterns: Individual and population realized specialization in a high Arctic fish. [PDF]
By taking an alternative approach to dietary analysis, this article challenges the commonly held assumption that polar cod is a generalist predator and argues that it can display strong temporal and geographical dietary specialization. Abstract Species with a broad and flexible diet may be at an advantage in a rapidly changing environment such as in ...

Preemptive Circular Defence of Immature Insects: Definition and Occurrences of Cycloalexy Revisited
Cycloalexy was coined by Vasconcellos‐Neto and Jolivet in 1988 and further defined by Jolivet and collaborators in 1990 in reference to a specific type of circular defence. The term has been applied to numerous organisms, including adult insects, nymphs, and even vertebrates, but has lost precision with the accumulation of anecdotal reports not ...
