The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Predatory behavior of the land flatworm Notogynaphallia abundans (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida)
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2009 Land flatworms are carnivorous, mainly predators. However, knowledge on their predatory behavior and prey preference is very scarce. This paucity of data is a limiting factor in the study of their biology and organismal ecology, resulting in a very ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Acta Zoologica, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 470-479, October 2026.ABSTRACT Weapons are morphological structures used by animals in various contexts, especially in intra‐specific contests and visual displays. In snapping shrimps of the genus Alpheus, particularly the monogamous species Alpheus brasileiro, both sexes bear enlarged chelipeds, potentially conferring advantages in mate competition or territorial defence ...

The Risks That Cirolanid Isopods Pose to Ocean Resources
OceansMarine isopods are the ancestors of the harmless herbivorous woodlouse species often found in piles of leaves. In contrast to woodlice, marine isopods of the family Cirolanidae (cirolanid isopods) are scavengers and predatory carnivores that form swarms ...
