Crustaceans in Phragmatopoma sp. (Polychaeta: Sabellariidae) intertidal reefs, Pacific, Costa Rica
Introduction: Annelid polychaete worms of the family Sabellariidae build reefs by cementing together sand grains. These reefs increase local habitat heterogeneity and species diversity.

A localized PCR inhibitor in a porcelain crab suggests a protective role [PDF]
A number of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) inhibitors have been identified from biological and environmental samples. By and large, such substances are treated as random nuisances and contaminants with alternate functions; their inhibitory effects on ...

A review of conspecific attraction for habitat selection across taxa
Many species across taxa select habitat based on conspecific presence, known as conspecific attraction. Although the number of studies examining conspecific attraction has grown in recent years, a comprehensive review has not yet been undertaken. Here, we conducted a review of the literature and found that conspecific attraction is widespread with ...

Cleaner shrimps feature a broad communicative repertoire which is considered to depend on superb motor skills and the underlying mechanosensory circuits in combination with sensory organs such as the two pairs of antennules and antennae, which are used both for attracting client fish and for intraspecific communication.

Cheliped dimorphism is common in decapod crustaceans, and many decapods have a pair of different-sized chelipeds, i.e., one side being larger (major) than the other (minor), a phenomenon known as heterochely.

A Feeding‐Ecology‐Based Approach to Evaluating Nursery Potential of Estuaries for Black Rockfish
Abstract Previous work suggests that Oregon estuaries function as nursery habitat and may play an important role in settlement of Black Rockfish Sebastes melanops. No research, however, has been conducted on juvenile Black Rockfish feeding ecology in estuarine habitats, which is necessary to evaluate habitat use and quality.

Effects of CO2-induced pH reduction on the exoskeleton structure and biophotonic properties of the shrimp Lysmata californica. [PDF]
The anticipated effects of CO2-induced ocean acidification on marine calcifiers are generally negative, and include dissolution of calcified elements and reduced calcification rates.
