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.

The urosome of the Pan- and Peracarida [PDF]
We have examined the caudal regions of diverse peracarid and pancarid malacostracans using light and scanning electronic microscopy. The traditional view of malacostracan posterior anatomy is not sustainable, viz., that the free telson, when present, bears the anus near the base.

Diversity and distribution of the Isopoda (Crustacea, Peracarida) of Kuwait, with an updated checklist [PDF]
Thirty-eight species of Isopoda, belonging to 13 families and 29 genera, are listed from Kuwait based on previous literature records (of 17 species) and collections carried out along Kuwait’s coastal and subtidal zones during the present study. The majority of species belongs to the suborder Cymothoida (23), followed by Sphaeromatidea (9), Oniscidea (3)

Tracing growth patterns in cod (Gadus morhua L.) using bioenergetic modelling
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.

Taking eDNA underground: Factors affecting eDNA detection of subterranean fauna in groundwater
Abstract Stygofauna are aquatic fauna that have evolved to live underground. The impacts of anthropogenic climate change, extraction and pollution on groundwater pose major threats to groundwater health, prompting the need for efficient and reliable means to detect and monitor stygofaunal communities.

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.

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.
