Combining eDNA metabarcoding and stable isotope analysis advances diet studies in a colonial, non‐regurgitating seabird

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding seabird diet is fundamental to assessing trophic interactions and predicting responses to environmental change. However, seabird diet studies are often constrained by low taxonomic resolution, invasive sampling methods or reliance on opportunistically collected samples, leaving the diet of important populations such as Common Guillemots ...

Population dynamics of mud crab, Scylla olivacea (Herbst, 1796) from the Sundarbans of Bangladesh

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, 2022
The Sundarbans mangrove regions are the home of the mud crab (Scylla olivacea) business, as forest areas are potential places for random crab harvesting, trading, and exporting overseas seafood markets.

Full-Length Transcriptome Reconstruction Reveals the Genetic Mechanisms of Eyestalk Displacement and Its Potential Implications on the Interspecific Hybrid Crab (Scylla serrata ♀ × S. paramamosain ♂)

Biology, 2022
The lack of high-quality juvenile crabs is the greatest impediment to the growth of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) industry. To obtain high-quality hybrid offspring, a novel hybrid mud crab (S. serrata ♀ × S. paramamosain ♂) was successfully produced

Insights into diet and niche separation in the context of prey availability between two sympatric whiprays in a tropical intertidal estuary

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Increasing evidence supports associations between various elasmobranch species and estuarine habitats, particularly during early life stages. However, with substantial knowledge gaps surrounding spatial habitat use and trophic ecology of estuary‐associated species in Australia, we cannot reliably assess the functional importance of these areas

Pond culture of mud crab (Scylla serrata): an economic analysis. [PDF]

, 1992
The study compares the profitability of mud crab pond culture with existing crab fattening practices in Iloilo, Philippines. Monoculture of Scylla serrata at stocking densities of 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 pcs/ha are compared for economic ...

Post‐hatching development of the remote‐tactile bill‐tip organ in precocial shorebirds (Scolopacidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Juvenile scolopacid shorebirds possess well‐developed osteological correlates of tactile bill‐tip organs, indicating sensory systems for remote‐touch foraging are present from early life. Ontogenetic changes in bill‐tip morphology suggest ecological specialisation and interspecific variation develop later, after fledging in these highly precocial ...

Sovereignty Without Surveillance: Regulatory Voids and the Limits of Marine Governance in Bougainville

Pacific Focus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates the regulatory voids that undermine sovereign marine governance in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, with a focus on the Pirung Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Based on fieldwork conducted in January 2025, including data collected from 50 community members and 25 government officials, the study reveals that ...

Feeding ecology of the crab Munida subrugosa (Decapoda: Anomura: Galatheidae) in the Beagle Channel, Argentina [PDF]

, 2004
Munida subrugosa is the most abundant galatheid crab species in the Beagle Channel (55°S 68°W) off Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Samples of crabs and the epibenthic community were taken on a monthly basis at two different depth strata (70m), by means of ...

Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand versus dredged river sand: evaluating a new resource for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.

Galactooligosaccharides and Resistant Starch Altered Microbiota and Short-Chain Fatty Acids in an in vitro Fermentation Study Using Gut Contents of Mud Crab (Scylla paramamosain)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Dietary carbohydrates are anaerobically fermented by gut microbiota to short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), conferring gut health benefits. Of all tested prebiotics, galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and resistant starch (RS) stimulated the SCFA production in ...
