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

Phylogeography of Petrolisthes armatus, an invasive species with low dispersal ability [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Theoretically, species with high population structure are likely to expand their range, because marginal populations are free to adapt to local conditions; however, meta-analyses have found a negative relation between structure and invasiveness. The crab

A non-native prey mediates the effects of a shared predator on an ecosystem service. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Non-native species can alter ecosystem functions performed by native species often by displacing influential native species. However, little is known about how ecosystem functions may be modified by trait-mediated indirect effects of non-native species ...

'Caribbean Creep' chills out: climate change and marine invasive species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: New marine invasions have been recorded in increasing numbers along the world's coasts due in part to the warming of the oceans and the ability of many invasive marine species to tolerate a broader thermal range than native species.

Two Decapod Crustaceans, <i>Panopeus herbstii</i> and <i>Petrolisthes armatus</i>, Stabilize Their Gaze Using Achromatic Visual Cues, but Not the Angle of Linearly Polarized Light. [PDF]
Integr Org BiolSynopsis Gaze stabilization is important to animals because it allows them to visually differentiate between their own motion relative to their environment and the motion of objects within their environment. Animals can struggle to stabilize their gaze in environments that have a high amount of visual noise.

Evaluating biodegradable alternatives to plastic mesh for small‐scale oyster reef restoration
Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Polyethylene plastic mesh is commonly used for containing oyster shells in small‐scale oyster reef restoration, but environmental and public health concerns have prompted investigations of biodegradable alternatives. Shallow (<0.5 m) and deep (approximately 1 m) oyster reefs (approximately 6 m2) were constructed in the Mission‐Aransas Estuary, Texas, U.

Reproductive plasticity in Petrolisthes armatus (Anomura, Porcellanidae): a comparison between a Pacific and an Atlantic population [PDF]
Helgoland Marine Research, 2011 The porcellanid crab Petrolisthes armatus, with a known geographic distribution covering a wide range of latitudes, was selected to conduct a comparative study on egg production and reproductive output between two populations from Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Ovigerous females were collected between September and November 2005 in Punta Morales, Pacific
