The first mitochondrial genome of Fistulobalanus albicostatus (Crustacea: Maxillopoda: Sessilia) and phylogenetic consideration within the superfamily Balanoidea [PDF]
The first complete mitochondrial genome of the intertidal barnacle Fistulobalanus albicostatus Pilsbry, 1916 (Crustacea: Maxillopoda: Sessilia) is presented. The genome is a circular molecule of 15,665 bp, which encodes a set of 37 typical metazoan genes.

Widespread Wolbachia infection in terrestrial isopods and other crustaceans [PDF]
Wolbachia bacteria are obligate intracellular alpha-Proteobacteria of arthropods and nematodes. Although widespread among isopod crustaceans, they have seldom been found in non-isopod crustacean species.

Assessment of Zooplankton Community Composition along a Depth Profile in the Central Red Sea. [PDF]
The composition of zooplankton in the water column has received limited attention in the main body of the Red Sea and this study investigates the change in the community both spatially and temporally across 11 stations in the central Red Sea.

A New Tantulocaridan (Crustacea : Maxillopoda) Parasitic on Calanoid, Harpacticoid and Cyclopoid Copepods [PDF]
Several life-cycle stages of a new genus of Tantulocarida (Crustacea: Maxillopoda), parasitic on three orders of copepods, are described from Okinawa, South Japan. This is the first record of a tantulocaridan on cyclopoid and calanoid hosts. Nipponotantulus heteroxenus n. gen., n. sp.

Copepods (Crustacea, Maxillopoda) from shallow reservoirs [PDF]
AIM: Among the planktonic microcrustaceans, copepods Cyclopoida and Calanoida are the most representative groups, being the largest biomass of the plankton community. The aim of this work is to catalogue and analyze the distribution of copepod species (Crustacea, Maxillopoda) in pelagic and littoral zones from small reservoirs in the northwest of the ...
