Taxonomic review of the orders Mysida and Stygiomysida (crustacea, peracarida). [PDF]
The order Mysida (2 families, 178 genera, 1132 species) contains species across a broad range of habitats, such as subterranean, fresh, brackish, coastal, and surface to deep-sea habitats. The Stygiomysida (2 families, 2 genera, 16 species), however, are

First multigene phylogeny of Cumacea (crustacea: Peracarida)
AbstractCumaceans are small peracarid crustaceans that can be remarkably diverse and important benthic organisms. Despite their ubiquitous presence in soft sediments, no well‐resolved phylogeny currently exists, which impedes ecological and evolutionary studies of the group.

On the origin and evolution of Antarctic Peracarida (Crustacea, Malacostraca)
The early separation of Gondwana and the subsequent isolation of Antarctica caused a long evolutionary history of its fauna. Both, long environmental stability over millions of years and habitat heterogeneity, due to an abundance of sessile suspension ...

Brooding Phylogenomics: Target-Capture Probe Sets for the Analysis of Ultraconserved Elements in the Peracarida. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Sequencing via target capture has been used to great effect in phylogenetic studies of organisms such as insects, arachnids and vertebrates. However, other taxa have received limited genomic attention despite their diversity and the intensity of research on such groups. Here, we describe generalised probe sets targeting ultraconserved elements

Genetic Structure of <i>Eudorella emarginata</i> (Peracarida: Cumacea): Effects of Topography and Historical Anoxic Events in the Sea of Japan. [PDF]
The population dynamics of cumacean species Eudorella emarginata in the seas around Japan were estimated based on molecular sequence data and past climatic changes. Our results suggest that the population in the Sea of Japan survived glacial anoxic events in the refugium near the Tsugaru strait. Our results emphasize the importance of local populations

A new morphological phylogeny of Malacostraca comparing the application of character dependencies and implied weighting. [PDF]
Abstract Using a new character matrix composed of revised matrices of previous analyses and new morphological findings, the phylogeny of Malacostraca (Pancrustacea) is analysed anew with 207 characters for 35 terminal taxa across all recognized orders. Particular emphasis was placed on methodological versatility, including different degrees of implied ...

The Benefit of Maternal Care and Infanticide by Males as Reproductive Strategies in a Caprellid Amphipod. [PDF]
In the marine amphipod Caprella kominatoensis, males perform infanticide to terminate maternal care and accelerate female molting for mating opportunities. However, we found that maternal defense is effective when the female parent is larger than the intruding male.

Tracing growth patterns in cod (Gadus morhua L.) using bioenergetic modelling. [PDF]
A bioenergetic model, which includes in‐situ knowledge of distribution and food intake, allows tracing (seasonal) growth patterns of cod. The model shows that summer heat periods can lead to negative energy turnover, ultimately resulting in reduced growth and potentially in a reduced reproductive potential.
