The first record of Exopalaemon styliferus (Crustacean, Decapods, Palaemonidae) from Iran
An unidentified species of Palaemonidae was observed in the downstream of Bahmanshir River in 2008. We caught 472 specimens of the fauna and used FAO species identification sheets for species identification. Some of the specimens were also transferred to

Insights Into Spatial Orientation and Cognition in Tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Under Natural Conditions, With Notes on Possible Ontogenetic Niche Shifts. [PDF]
Cognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...

Effects of Norbixin on Growth Performance, Immunomodulation, Antioxidant Systems, and Metabolic Alterations in the Oriental River Prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense): An Integrative Analysis. [PDF]
Dietary norbixin (0.15 g/kg) optimally promotes growth, immunocompetence, antioxidant defence, gut microbial balance, carotenoid accumulation, and overall nutritional quality in Macrobrachium nipponense. ABSTRACT Background Natural carotenoids have gained considerable attention in aquaculture due to their potential to enhance growth performance ...

Exoskeletal deformities in Palaemonidae: Are they a threat to survival? [PDF]
Shrimps of the Palaemon genus have been affected for over 15 years by a problem of exoskeletal deformities, particularly in the Gironde estuary (France). Given the large numbers of individuals affected, this study focus on a better description of the phenomenon to estimate its impact on shrimps.

Fecundity and fertility of Macrobrachium amazonicum (Crustacea, Palaemonidae) [PDF]
In Brazil, studies with native freshwater prawn species were discontinued due to great importance of Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Therefore, it is necessary to continue investigations about our species, in order to develop technology adequate to our reality and in a future allow prawn farmers to culture other species.

Reproductive cycle of Macrobrachium amazonicum females (Crustacea, Palaemonidae) [PDF]
Macrobrachium amazonicum is considered a favorite Brazilian species of freshwater prawn for cultivation as a result of its quick development and because it is easy to maintain in captivity. The aim of this work is to describe the sexual cycle stages and determine maturation age of the female M. amazonicum, which was collected monthly from June, 2002 to

From rivers to museums: 28S rDNA as a tool for molecular identification of Amazon palaemonids prawns [PDF]
Morphological identification of Palaemonidae prawns often proves challenging due to the overlap in their characteristics. In this study, we evaluated the utility of 28S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences as a molecular tool for accurately identifying prawns ...

Studies on the morphometry of Macrobrachium nobilii (Decapoda, Palaemonidae) [PDF]
Fourteen morphometric characters of Macrobrachium nobilii (Henderson and Matthai, 1910), a freshwater prawn were measured from 72 males and 66 females collected at random in field. The growth constant (b) of total length and weight for male (4.28) and female (3.02) differed significantly (P<0.05).
