A localized PCR inhibitor in a porcelain crab suggests a protective role [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
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

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 23, Page 12690-12699, December 2020., 2020
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 ...

Abundance and instantaneous transport of Petrolisthes armatus (Gibbes, 1850) planktonic larvae in the Catuama inlet, Northeast Brazil

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2012
The influence of tidal and diel changes on the exchange of Petrolisthes armatus planktonic larvae was studied at the Catuama inlet, which represents an intermediate system of marine and estuarine environments in the Northeast Brazil.

Masters of communication: The brain of the banded cleaner shrimp Stenopus hispidus (Olivier, 1811) with an emphasis on sensory processing areas

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 528, Issue 9, Page 1561-1587, June 15, 2020., 2020
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.

Heterochely and cheliped dimorphism in the porcellanid crab Petrolisthes japonicus (De Haan, 1849) (Decapoda: Porcellanidae)

Nauplius, 2022
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

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 124-141, April 2020., 2020
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.

Water stratification in the marine biome restricts vertical environmental DNA (eDNA) signal dispersal

Environmental DNA, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 99-111, January 2020., 2020
In this study, we determined the ability of eDNA metabarcoding surveys to distinguish vertically localized community assemblages. Our results demonstrate, for the first time, the need to take into consideration oceanographic (e.g., water column stratification) and biological processes (e.g., vertical community structuring) when designing sampling ...
