Identity of Pagurus watasei (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Paguroidea)
The diogenid hermit crab taxon Dardanus watasei (Terao, 1913) has been suggested to be a possible junior synonym of D. scutellatus (H. Milne Edwards, 1848). Re-examination of the holotype and three additional specimens referred to the taxon Pagurus watasei by Terao himself, however, has shown that it is conspecific with Dardanus aspersus (Berthold ...

Repeated hurricane disturbance has minimal impact on shallow coastal infaunal communities
Abstract Disturbances are important drivers of seafloor community structure and diversity, especially in sediment infaunal communities with limited mobility. Shallow coastal sediment communities contribute to global nutrient cycling and carbon storage but also experience large‐scale disturbances, including storms.
