Not just range limits: Warming rate and thermal sensitivity shape climate change vulnerability in a species range center

open access: yesEcology, Volume 104, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Climate change manifests unevenly across space and time and produces complex patterns of stress for ecological systems. Species can also show substantial among‐population variability in response to environmental change across their geographic range due to evolutionary processes.

The role of refuges in biological invasions: A systematic review

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 1244-1271, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Ecological refuges buffer organisms against stressors and mediate a range of species interactions. However, their role in the context of biological invasions has yet to be synthesized, despite the increasing prevalence and impact of non‐native species.

First discovery of porcellanid crab, Porcellanella picta (Crustacea: Decapoda: Porcellanidae), from south-east coast of India

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2014
Studies of the distribution of any marine organism are very important in determining the range of its expansion in the oceans and to determine the factors influencing this expansion.

Construction and characterization of EST libraries from the porcelain crab, Petrolisthes cinctipes [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative and Comparative Biology, 2006
The thermal phenotype of an organism (heat and cold tolerance, thermal range, and thermal plasticity) is an essential feature of how the organism performs across thermal environments and in response to thermal stress. Porcelain crabs are of interest in addressing questions of thermal phenotype because of their high species diversity and the large ...

The rare porcelain crab Novorostrum decorocrus Osawa, 1998 (Anomura: Porcellanidae) from Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesNauplius, 2020
Abstract Novorostrum decorocrus Osawa, 1998, so far only known from its type locality, Iriomote Island, Ryukyu Islands, southern Japan, is herein recorded from much farther south, Ambon Island, Indonesia. Males and females of N. decorocrus differ from each other in some morphological traits and their morphological differences are also discussed and ...

Intersexuality in the porcellanid crab Pisidia longicornis (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Porcellanidae)

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2015
Intersex specimens of Pisidia longicornis (Linnaeus, 1767) are recorded for the first time and their secondary sexual characters are analyzed. Of 145 specimens of P. longicornis examined in this study, six were identified as intersex individuals.

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

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 DNA replication being a coincidental property of their molecular structure.
