Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

SPECIES OF BRANCHIOBDELLIDAE (ANNELIDA) ON FRESHWATER CRAYFISH IN SOUTH TYROL (NORTHERN ITALY)

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2002
Twenty-eight freshwater crayfish were collected from 8 streams and one small lake in the province of South Tyrol (North Italy) from autumn 1999 to spring 2001, in order to investigate the presence of branchiobdellidans.

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

The ‘Pritchard Trap’: A novel quantitative survey method for crayfish

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2021
As crayfish invasions continue to threaten native freshwater biota, a detailed understanding of crayfish distribution and population structure becomes imperative. Nonetheless, most current survey methods provide inadequate demographic data.

Neuronal processing of translational optic flow in the visual system of the shore crab Carcinus maenas [PDF]

, 2011
This paper describes a search for neurones sensitive to optic flow in the visual system of the shore crab Carcinus maenas using a procedure developed from that of Krapp and Hengstenberg.

A systematic review evaluating the performance of eDNA methods relative to conventional methods for biodiversity monitoring

Ecography, EarlyView.
The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

The mycobiome of a successful crayfish invader and its changes along the environmental gradient

Animal Microbiome, 2023
Background The microbiome plays an important role in biological invasions, since it affects various interactions between host and environment. However, most studies focus on the bacteriome, insufficiently addressing other components of the microbiome ...
