DNA metabarcoding unveils multiscale trophic variation in a widespread coastal opportunist
Molecular Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 232-249, January 2019., 2019 Abstract A thorough understanding of ecological networks relies on comprehensive information on trophic relationships among species. Since unpicking the diet of many organisms is unattainable using traditional morphology‐based approaches, the application of high‐throughput sequencing methods represents a rapid and powerful way forward.

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 ...

Behaviorally Mediated Larval Transport in Upwelling Systems
Advances in Oceanography, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Highly advective upwelling systems along the western margins of continents are widely believed to transport larvae far offshore in surface currents resulting in larval wastage, limited recruitment, and increased population connectivity. However, suites of larval behaviors effectively mediate interspecific differences in the extent of cross‐shelf ...

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.
