THE ENCRUSTATION OF THE SPIDER CRAB HYASTENUS HILGENDORFI IN RELATION TO ITS REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY IN THE SUEZ CANAL, EGYPT [PDF]

open access: yesDelta Journal of Science, 2013
The encrustation of the spider crab Hyastenus hilgendorfi inhabiting the Suez Canal in relationto its reproductive biology was studied. This species is considered a by-catch in the area of theSuez Canal.

Spatial distribution, density, and relative growth of Microphrys bicornutus (Latreille, 1826) (Brachyura: Majidae) in five biotopes in a Thalassia complex

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2007
Spatial distribution, population density, number of ovigerous females, and relative growth of Microphrys bicornutus were studied in an extremely shallow Thalassia complex (Buchuaco- Venezuela).

Single‐cell sequencing reveals potential novel insights into appendage‐patterning and joint‐development in a spider

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Jointed appendages represent one of the key innovations of arthropods, and thus understanding the development and evolution of these structures is important for the understanding of the evolutionary success of Arthropoda. In this paper, we analyze a cell cluster that was identified in a previous single‐cell sequencing (SCS ...

Variation in Fluorescence in Some Northeast Atlantic Malacostraca (Pancrustacea)

open access: yesDiversity
Fluorescence is known to occur on varying surfaces across crustacea but is only cited in sporadic reports, despite being a potentially important visual signal and changing with development and within moult cycles.

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

'Natural experiment' demonstrates top-down control of spiders by birds on a landscape level.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The combination of small-scale manipulative experiments and large-scale natural experiments provides a powerful approach for demonstrating the importance of top-down trophic control on the ecosystem scale.

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Effects of different natural or prepared diets on growth and survival of juvenile spider crabs Maja brachydactyla (Balss, 1922).

open access: yes, 2008
The effects of different diets (natural or pellets) on growth, survival, and moulting interval of juvenile spider crabs, weighing between 0.011–1.56 g and up to 17.6 mm in carapace length, were tested over a period of 90 days.

Volumetric Comparison of Overall Brain and Neuropil Size Between Social and Non‐social Spiders: Exploring the Social Brain Hypothesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.
