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.

Responses of Macroinvertebrate Communities to Heterogeneity Among Typical Reaches in the Upper Yangtze River

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study examines how hydraulic and geomorphological heterogeneity shape benthic macroinvertebrate communities in the mountainous upper Yangtze River. Integrating field measurements with hydrodynamic modeling, it identifies distinct community patterns across canyon, anabranching, and Reef–Tuo reaches, driven by flow velocity, sediment dynamics, and ...

PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE STOMATOPODA (MALACOSTRACA) [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1997
ABSTRACT The stomatopods or mantis shrimps are malacostracan crustaceans of the subclass Hoplocarida. All extant hoplocarids belong to the order Stomatopoda and suborder Unipeltata. The Unipeltata comprises the extinct, stem-lineage sculdids, and the crown-group which includes the 19 extant families with more than 400 species.

Comparison of Short Generalist and Specific Markers to Assess the Diversity of Arthropods Using eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
By analyzing > 1200 eDNA samples with different markers amplifying arthropods, we show that generalist and specific markers produce correlated pictures of community variation; still specific markers provide a more accurate measure of biodiversity and of its response to environmental stressors.

ATAC‐seq in Emerging Model Organisms: Challenges and Strategies

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 7, Page 394-414, November 2025.
Principle of ATAC‐seq (left), overview of arthropod species with published ATAC‐seq data (middle), summary of experimental design (right). ABSTRACT The Assay for Transposase‐Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC‐seq) is a versatile and widely utilized method for identifying potential regulatory regions, such as promoters and enhancers, within a ...

Riparian Vegetation and Arthropod Responses to Dam Removal and Habitat Restoration Along the Kalamazoo River, Michigan, USA

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 2017-2031, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Riparian ecosystems harbor diverse biota and provide numerous services to rivers including mitigating sediment run‐off, regulating temperature, and contributing food‐web subsidies. Dams are a major threat to riparian communities, but dam removal and riparian restoration efforts have the potential to restore these communities and the services ...

An Upper Cretaceous arthropod assemblage from Villaggio del Pescatore (Campanian, Italy) and its implications for peri‐Tethyan palaeobiogeography and palaeoecology

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The Villaggio del Pescatore (VdP) fossil Lagerstätte represents the most significant Upper Cretaceous (lower–middle Campanian) palaeontological locality in Italy and the Mediterranean region. We present the first systematic revision of the VdP fossil assemblage with a focus on its previously undescribed arthropod fauna, providing new insights ...

Intersexuality in the porcellanid crab Pisidia longicornis (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Porcellanidae)

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2015
Intersex specimens of Pisidia longicornis (Linnaeus, 1767) are recorded for the first time and their secondary sexual characters are analyzed. Of 145 specimens of P. longicornis examined in this study, six were identified as intersex individuals.

Molecular phylogenetic analyses support the monophyly of Hexapoda and suggest the paraphyly of Entognatha [PDF]

, 2013
BackgroundMolecular phylogenetic analyses have revealed that Hexapoda and Crustacea form a common clade (the Pancrustacea), which is now widely accepted among zoologists; however, the origin of Hexapoda remains unresolved.
