Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July/August 2025.Abstract The characteristic cardinal spines of Isoxys, a cosmopolitan bivalved arthropod, have been focal to understanding its role in Cambrian ecosystems. It has been proposed that the spines had either a hydrodynamic function, to aid buoyancy, or a defensive function, to protect against predators.

Size-dependent competition in a gregarious porcelain crab Petrolisthes cinctipes (Anomura: Porcellanidae) [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2004 Studies of competition in benthic marine organisms have focused on sessile filter-feed- ers and mobile grazers, to the neglect of mobile filter-feeders, including porcelain crabs. The present study demonstrates intraspecific competition in Petrolisthes cinctipes (Randall) (Porcellanidae: Anomura). P.

Defensive Behaviour in Intertidal Crabs
Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2025.Mangrove swimming crab showing defensive behaviour by raising its chelae; ruler and grey card are also shown. ABSTRACT Despite a long roster of prey defences against predators now documented by biologists, any given species utilises only some of them, and we have few a priori predictions as to if, when or where they will be employed.

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2025.Abstract This study investigates the efficacy of acid‐insoluble ash (AIA) as an endogenous digestibility marker in commercial aquaculture ingredients and feeds. AIA is a naturally occurring, low‐cost alternative to external markers such as chromic oxide and yttrium oxide. External markers are often impractical in the production of small batches of feed

Marine benthic flora and fauna of Gourdon Bay and the Dampier Peninsula in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia [PDF]
, 2011 Surveys undertaken to characterise the marine benthic habitats along the Dampier Peninsula and further south at Gourdon Bay in the Kimberley region of Western Australia were augmented with epibenthic sled sampling of soft and hard bottom habitats.

A new method for fabrication of nanohydroxyapatite and TCP from the sea snail Cerithium vulgatum [PDF]
, 2014 Biphasic bioceramic nanopowders of hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) were prepared from shells of the sea snail Cerithium vulgatum (Bruguière, 1792) using a novel chemical method.

Polyploidy confers better cold tolerance in Daphnia
Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 3, March 2025.Despite decades of studies on the differential distribution of polyploid organisms, the causes of this pattern have yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to explore some of the possible physiological mechanisms explaining the differential northern distribution of polyploid clones of Daphnia pulex compared to the one of the diploid parental species ...

Impact of hard-bottom substrata on the small-scale distribution of fish and decapods in shallow subtidal temperate waters [PDF]
, 2012 The micro-scale spatial distribution patterns of a demersal fish and decapod crustacean assemblage were assessed in a hard-bottom kelp environment in the southern North Sea. Using quadrats along line transects, we assessed the in situ fish and crustacean
