Trophic Interactions of European Hake Merluccius merluccius (Linnaeus, 1758) in Benthic Communities off the Moroccan Mediterranean Coastline: Seasonal and Ontogenetic Shifts. [PDF]
Scientifica (Cairo), 2023 The European hake, Merluccius merluccius (Linnaeus, 1758), is one of the most important resources for Mediterranean fisheries. Due to its pivotal role in energy transfer from lower to higher trophic levels, this species is a crucial component of the ecosystem’s functioning.

Megabenthic Diversity Patterns on a Seamount in the Philippine Sea: Implications for Conservation Planning on the Kyushu-Palau Ridge. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT The oligotrophic tropical western Pacific region is characterized by a high density of seamounts, with the Kyushu‐Palau Ridge (KPR) being the longest seamount chain here. Effective spatial management plans for seamount ecosystems necessitate an understanding of distribution patterns and key environmental factors influencing benthic communities.

The complete mitochondrial genomes of two vent squat lobsters, Munidopsis lauensis and M. verrilli: Novel gene arrangements and phylogenetic implications. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 The mitogenomes of M. lauensis and M. verrilli show novel arrangements of mitochondrial genes. Comparisons of mitochondrial gene rearrangements, to some extent, are a useful tool for phylogenetic studies. Abstract Hydrothermal vents are considered as one of the most extremely harsh environments on the Earth.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 268-286, June 2023., 2023 This study compares the gut contents of snapper in soft‐sediment habitats within and outside of New Zealand green‐lipped mussel farms. Snapper within mussel farms were consistently found to have consumed different prey groups compared to the control snapper. The prey groups consumed by snapper in mussel farms are likely more nutritious and therefore of

The oldest dairoidid crab (Decapoda, Brachyura, Parthenopoidea) from the Eocene of Spain
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023 Abstract Eubrachyurans, or ‘higher’ true crabs, are the most speciose group of decapod crustaceans and have a rich fossil record extending into the Early Cretaceous. However, most extant families are first found in the fossil record in the Palaeogene, and particularly in the Eocene.

Geologija, 2020 During recent decades, decapod crustacean faunas from middle Danian (lower Paleocene) strata at Faxe (Sjælland, Denmark) have been studied in detail. However, paguroid anomurans have not yet been described formally.

Testing the generality of sea otter‐mediated trophic cascades in seagrass meadows
Oikos, Volume 130, Issue 5, Page 725-738, May 2021., 2021 The presence and strength of trophic cascades can be a function of the local abiotic environment and relative abundance of key species. The reintroduction and expansion of sea otters Enhydra lutris, a known keystone species in kelp ecosystems, in southeast Alaska provides a rare natural experiment to test the generality of a apex‐predator – seagrass ...
