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
