Palinurid rock (or spiny) lobsters constitute valuable seafood fisheries around the world. Post‐harvest mortality can have a substantial economic impact on the value of these fisheries and damage the brand identity of an otherwise fungible commodity.

Historical Biogeography of Spiny Lobsters in the Genus Panulirus (Achelata: Palinuridae)
ABSTRACT Aim Panulirus is the spiny lobster genus with the most living species, containing 22 recognised species split into two lineages distinguished by habitat preference.

Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasingly affecting marine ecosystems, with cascading impacts on coastal economies, communities, and food systems. Studies of heatwaves provide crucial insights into potential ecosystem shifts under future climate change and put fisheries social‐ecological systems through “stress tests” that expose both vulnerabilities ...

The Evolution of Spiny Lobsters (Palinuridae): A Study of Evolution in the Marine Environment [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate relationships in the light of morphological and paleontological evidence, and to propose an evolutionary scheme which accounts for the present distribution of extant palinurid species. The spiny lobsters, because of their large size, commercial importance, benthic habits as adults and pelagic habit as larvae ...

Shared and distinct patterns of genetic structure in two sympatric large decapods
Abstract Aim Comparing genetic structure in species with shared spatial ranges and ecological niches can help identify how dissimilar aspects of biology can shape differences in population connectivity. Similarly, where species are widely distributed across heterogeneous environments and major topographic barriers, knowledge of the structuring of ...

ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

We found that Jasus edwardsii settlers exhibit phenotypic variability across a geographical and temporal gradient; however, this is not correlated with genetic divergence. Given the protracted pelagic larval duration of the species, we hypothesize that dispersal history drives phenotypic variability in this species.

Morphometric relationships and seasonal variation in size, weight, and a condition index of post-settlement stages of the Caribbean spiny lobster [PDF]
Spiny lobsters have a protracted pelagic, oceanic larval phase. The final larval stage metamorphoses into a non-feeding postlarva (puerulus) that actively swims towards the coast to settle in shallow habitats and does not resume feeding until after the ...
