First record of the non-indigenous portunid crab Charybdis variegata from the western Atlantic coast [PDF]
Biological invasions are a present and growing environmental problem because non-indigenous organisms may affect the structure and functioning of native communities.

ABSTRACT This study investigated shape variations and morphological integration between the components of crusher and cutter claws in two species of swimming crabs, Callinectes danae and Callinectes ornatus. The propodi and dactyli of the claws were analysed in males and females of both species, using geometric morphometric techniques to identify ...

KEKAYAAN JENIS PORTUNIDAE DI SISI SHIPPING LINE SELAT MADURA
A monitoring activity for the existence of portunid crabs in the narrowest part of Madura Strait has been done from 2001 to 2004. Crabs have been collected in June or July each year in day time during spring tide. Crab collection was carried out in four sampling station (I to IV) using 0,5 cm trawl net for 10 minutes netting in each time.

Century‐Scale Changes in the Feeding Patterns of Demersal Fish Species in the Western North Sea
ABSTRACT Understanding the extent and magnitude of change in marine food webs requires historical data that predates modern monitoring efforts. Such information can provide invaluable insights into the longer‐term impacts of altered trophic interactions, yet it is rarely incorporated into marine policy frameworks.

Occurrence of ovigerous females of Callinectes bocourti A. Milne-Edwards, 1879 (Decapoda: Portunidae) on the Amazon Continental Shelf [PDF]
The family Portunidae comprises a diverse group of crabs, with 336 described species. Although they are easily collected and widely distributed in coastal regions, the life history of Callinectes bocourti remains poorly understood.

Assessment of a Social Media‐Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet
This study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

This study, through a combination of morphological analysis, molecular identification, and stable isotope analysis, confirmed that crustaceans are the primary food source for these fishes. Small carnivorous fishes reduce niche overlap by selectively feeding on different types of crustaceans—a strategy supported by the abundant crustacean resources in ...

Seasonal foods, gonadal maturation, and length-weight relationships for nine fishes commonly captured by shrimp trawl on the Northwest Gulf of Mexico Continental Shelf [PDF]
Recent emphasis on ecosystem approaches to fisheries management renews interest in, and the need for, trophic information about fish communities. A program was started in 1980 at the National Marine Fisheries Service Galveston Laboratory to develop a ...
