Myogenesis of Malacostraca – the “egg-nauplius” concept revisited [PDF]

Frontiers in Zoology, 2013
Malacostracan evolutionary history has seen multiple transformations of ontogenetic mode. For example direct development in connection with extensive brood care and development involving planktotrophic nauplius larvae, as well as intermediate forms are found throughout this taxon.

Molecular Cloning, Structure and Phylogenetic Analysis of a Hemocyanin Subunit from the Black Sea Crustacean Eriphia verrucosa (Crustacea, Malacostraca)

Genes, 2021
Hemocyanins are copper-binding proteins that play a crucial role in the physiological processes in crustaceans. In this study, the cDNA encoding hemocyanin subunit 5 from the Black sea crab Eriphia verrucosa (EvHc5) was cloned using EST analysis, RT-PCR ...

Beyond species diversity: Functional responses of cave arthropods to microclimatic stability and structural complexity

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

Inter-year consistencies and discrepancies on intestinal microbiota for overwintering relict gulls: correlations with food composition and implications for environmental adaptation

Frontiers in Microbiology
The gut microbiota of migratory birds is influenced by their food choices, and exploring the potential relationship between diet composition and gut microbiota can help better protect related species. By integrating non-invasive sampling techniques, high-

Flamingo foraging activity as a driver of spatial heterogeneity in Langebaan Lagoon, South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
Numerous studies have attempted to quantify the effect of epifaunal predation and its co-occurring disturbance on macrofaunal communities with the aid of exclosure experiments.

Stomach contents from invasive American bullfrogs Rana catesbeiana (= Lithobates catesbeianus) on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada [PDF]

, 2013
Invasive alien American bullfrog populations are commonly identified as a pernicious influence on the survival of native species due to their adaptability, proliferation and consequent ecological impacts through competition and predation. However, it has

Beyond Hard Parts: Metabarcoding Advances Dietary Resolution in Threatened Amazonian Elasmobranchs

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Elasmobranchs are highly vulnerable and are considered one of the most threatened vertebrates worldwide. Insights into diet can improve conservation measures. The bias of traditional morphological methods towards taxa with distinctive hard parts makes metabarcoding analysis a complementary tool to assess diet composition. Here, we analysed the

The malacostracan fauna of two Arctic fjords (west Spitsbergen): the diversity and distribution patterns of its pelagic and benthic components

Oceanologia, 2017
This study examines the performance of pelagic and benthic Malacostraca in two glacial fjords of west Spitsbergen: Kongsfjorden, strongly influenced by warm Atlantic waters, and Hornsund which, because of the strong impact of the cold Sørkapp Current ...
