Taking eDNA underground: Factors affecting eDNA detection of subterranean fauna in groundwater

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1257-1274, August 2023., 2023
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 the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis (Amphipoda): evolutionary implications

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 531, Issue 10, Page 1032-1056, July 2023., 2023
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.

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
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.

Crustacea: Malacostraca — Syncarida, Peracarida: Isopoda, Tanaidacea, Mictacea, Thermosbaenacea, Spelaeogriphacea Crustacea: Malacostraca — Peracarida Amphipoda, Cumacea, Mysidacea [PDF]

Crustaceana, 2009
The second genus and species of Spelaeogriphacea, Potiicoara brasiliensis, is described (type-locality: Brazil, Mato Grosso do Sul, Bonito, Gruta Azul). The specimens were found swimming in a lake 50 m inside the cave entrance. The new genus is distinguished from Spelaeogriphus Gordon by having a shorter carapace, mandibular palp three-segmented ...

MITOCHONDRIAL GENES AND ISOPOD PHYLOGENY (PERACARIDA: ISOPODA) [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2002
Abstract Molecular data are used to test whether (1) Phreatoicidea are the earliest derived living isopods, and (2) the long-tailed isopod morphology is the derived condition within the Isopoda. Small and large subunits of the mitochondrial ribosomal genes (12S- and 16S rDNA), and cytochrome oxidase c subunit I (COI) are used as a case study for ...

On the Influence of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem Habitats on Peracarid Crustacean Assemblages in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation Regulatory Area

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) are considered hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the deep sea, but are also characterised by a high vulnerability to disturbance and a low recovery potential.

A new species of Nuuanu (Amphipoda: Gammaridea: Melitidae) from shallow sandy bottoms of the Balearic Islands (W Mediterranean)

Scientia Marina, 2006
Nuuanu beatricis n. sp., a new melitid amphipod, is described from shallow-water sandy bottoms on the S and SE coasts of Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Mediterranean). It differs from the rest of its congeners in the combination of: (1) non-geniculate
