Zoeal Stages of Leptomithrax edwardsii (Crustacea: Decapoda: Majidae) Described from Laboratory Reared Material [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2012 Zoeas of Leptomithrax edwardsii were reared in the laboratory. Two zoeal stages are described and illustrated. The first zoeal stage of L. edwardsii is compared with those of seven known species of the family Majidae. It differs from previous description

Assessment of a Social Media-Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

An assessment of juvenile Atlantic cod Gadus morhua distribution and growth using diver operated stereo-video surveys. [PDF]
J Fish Biol, 2016 Stereo‐video scuba transects were conducted during daylight hours from June to September 2013 within a proposed marine protected area (MPA) in the Firth of Clyde, west of Scotland. More juvenile Atlantic cod Gadus morhua of fork length (LF) range 6–11 cm were observed in substrata containing mixed gravel, including maerl, than in boulder‐cobble ...

The highly rearranged mitochondrial genomes of the crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae) and gene order evolution in Brachyura [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of the spider crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae, Brachyura). Both genomes contain the whole set of 37 genes characteristic of Bilaterian genomes, encoded on both α- and β-strands.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 268-286, June 2023., 2023 This study compares the gut contents of snapper in soft‐sediment habitats within and outside of New Zealand green‐lipped mussel farms. Snapper within mussel farms were consistently found to have consumed different prey groups compared to the control snapper. The prey groups consumed by snapper in mussel farms are likely more nutritious and therefore of

The oldest dairoidid crab (Decapoda, Brachyura, Parthenopoidea) from the Eocene of Spain
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023 Abstract Eubrachyurans, or ‘higher’ true crabs, are the most speciose group of decapod crustaceans and have a rich fossil record extending into the Early Cretaceous. However, most extant families are first found in the fossil record in the Palaeogene, and particularly in the Eocene.

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Climate change can affect the habitat of marine species and hence their persistence and adaptation. Trends in area of occurrence and population biomass were examined for 177 fish and macroinvertebrates resident to the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf ecosystem. Samples of these organisms were taken during a time series of research bottom trawl
