Artificial shelters and marine infectious disease: no detectable effect of the use of casitas to enhance juvenile Panulirus argus in shelter-poor habitats on a viral disease dynamics [PDF]
Casitas, low-lying artificial shelters that mimic large crevices, are used in some fisheries for Caribbean spiny lobsters (Panulirus argus). These lobsters are highly gregarious and express communal defense of the shelter.

Isolation and characterization of eight polymorphic microsatellites for the spotted spiny lobster, Panulirus guttatus [PDF]
Microsatellite sequences were isolated from enriched genomic libraries of the spotted spiny lobster, Panulirus guttatus using 454 pyrosequencing. Twenty-nine previously developed polymerase chain reaction primer pairs of Panulirus argus microsatellite ...

Let's stick together: Infection enhances preferences for social grouping in a songbird species
Enhanced sociality during infection may benefit hosts if social grouping improves host survival of infection; however, little is known about how infected hosts may shift their social preferences during infection. We tested how infection with the bacterial pathogen Mycoplasma gallisepticum alters sociality in juvenile house finches by putting wild ...

True insights or ticking boxes? Rapid assessment of rights‐based management in artisanal fisheries
Abstract Rights‐based fisheries management (RBFM) seeks to create market incentives to reduce competition, avoid overexploitation, and increase economic efficiency. Particularly for artisanal fisheries, however, assumptions of RBFM may not be met and its use needs to be carefully considered. This study applies an existing tool (SEASALT) to evaluate the

Neurochemical diversity in the central olfactory pathway of Parhyale hawaiensis Abstract In mandibulate arthropods, the primary olfactory centers, termed olfactory lobes in crustaceans, are typically organized in distinct fields of dense synaptic neuropils called olfactory glomeruli.

Evidence that potential fish predators elicit the production of carapace vibrations by the American lobster [PDF]
American lobsters (Homarus americanus) will on rare occasions produce sounds by vibrating their dorsal carapace. Although this behavior can be elicited in the laboratory by handling lobsters, the stimulus that triggers the production of sounds in the ...

Exposure to ocean acidification negatively affects the sense of smell of the economically, ecologically, and culturally important Dungeness crab. Here, we show that exposure to high CO2 decreases the expression of receptors involved in the sense of smell, lowers the sensitivity of the antennular nerve response to a food cue, and decreases antennular ...

Assessment of predation risk through conspecific alarm odors by spiny lobsters
Strong “alarm odors” emanating from lethally injured conspecifics may indicate an imminent risk of predation to spiny lobsters. In laboratory trials,1 strong conspecific alarm odors elicited avoidance in Panulirus argus, a highly gregarious species that ...
