New distribution records of subterranean crustaceans from cenotes in Yucatan (Mexico) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2020
New records of 14 stygobiont crustacean species pertaining to six Malacostraca orders from 32 cenotes are presented, with their associated caves of the state of Yucatan, Mexico, together with an individual account for each species. Species composition of

Occurrence characteristics of microplastics in Dongting Lake, China

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Lakes are critical sinks for terrigenous microplastics (MPs), yet understanding their ecological risks remains hindered by data uncertainties and the absence of local background values. In this study, an enhanced pollution load index (PLI) model integrating stochastic mathematical methods and species sensitivity distributions (SSD) was ...

Role of estuarine habitats for the feeding ecology of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.).

PLoS ONE, 2022
This study aims to characterize and compare the feeding ecology of the European eels (Anguilla anguilla L.) during the continental phase (i.e. yellow and silver) along a salinity gradient (i.e. lower, middle and upper) in six northern France estuaries (i.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Morphological and metabarcoding dietary analysis of the cunner wrasse (Tautogolabrus adspersus) revealed significant regional variation, with large overlap between its common prey species and biofouling animals living on salmonid sea cages

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The stomach‐less cunner wrasse (Tautogolabrus adspersus) has been experimentally used as a biological control agent for salmon lice that infest Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and to remove biofouling inside sea cages. The cunner demonstrates a strong population structure, suggesting that its diet, and therefore its usefulness for biological ...

An annotated checklist of the Syncarida (Crustacea, Malacostraca) of the world [PDF]

Zootaxa, 2006
An annotated list of the 256 species and subspecies of Syncarida known to occur in the world is presented, including synonymies, information on habitat type (caves, springs, wells, etc.), type locality, other localities where the taxa have been found, and an abbreviated reference to the original description and other important taxonomic references when

Habitat complexity promotes species richness and community stability: a case study in a marine biogenic habitat

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Habitat complexity (HC) promotes species richness and abundance. Aquatic environments are faced with intense pressures that threaten the 3D structure of the seafloor, with cascading effects on ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. Maerl or rhodolith beds are marine biogenic habitats created by few species of free‐living non‐geniculate coralline algae

Essai d’analyse critique des principales hypothèses concernant la phylogénie des Malacostracés (Crustacea, Malacostraca)

Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2011
Malacostraca, as a Class, represents the largest taxonomic group within the Subphylum Crustacea. This essay is a contribution to the perennial debate of the way to classify the more than 40,000 malacostracan species.

Neural Repertoire Behind the World's Most Complex Retina: Neuroanatomy of the Stomatopod Lamina

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 6, June 2025.
The lamina behind the complex retina of mantis shrimp is highly conserved between eye regions and species and is similar to crustaceans and distinct from insects. Midband cartridges connect along columns, providing a neural basis for the unique scanning behavior of stomatopods.
