Specialized Feeding Patterns and Marine Resource Use by Nonnative Catfishes in a Coastal River Ecosystem Revealed by Dietary and Stable Isotopic Analyses

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 564-582, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Two large predatory catfishes, the Flathead Catfish Pylodictis olivaris and Blue Catfish Ictalurus furcatus, have been introduced into multiple U.S. Atlantic slope drainages in recent decades, with concomitant reductions in native fish abundance and changes in faunal community composition.

Growling from the gut: co-option of the gastric mill for acoustic communication in ghost crabs. [PDF]

, 2019
Animal acoustic communication systems can be built upon co-opted structures that become specialized for sound production or morphological novelties. The ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata, evolved a novel stridulation apparatus on the claws that is used during

Physiologic sexual maturity of the fiddler crab Uca rapax (Smith, 1870) (Crustacea, Ocypodidae) from two mangroves in Ubatuba, Brazil

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2006
The gonad development of Uca rapax was studied to achieve the size at onset of its sexual maturity. Crabs were sampled from April/2001 to March/2002 in the Itamambuca and Ubatumirim mangroves in Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil.
