Genome-wide SNP analyses reveal population structure of Portunus pelagicus along Vietnam coastline.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus Linnaeus, 1758) is one of the commercially exploited crab fishery resources in Vietnam. This is the first study to provide a broad survey of genetic diversity, population structure and migration patterns of P ...

A Female‐Locust‐Inspired Hybrid Soft‐Stiff Robotic Digger: Mimetics and Implications for Digging Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

From Synthesis to Therapeutics: Bioactive‐Coated Zein Nanoparticles in Drug Delivery

open access: yesBiopolymers, Volume 117, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Polymeric zein nanoparticles (ZNP), derived from corn protein, are biodegradable drug carriers with high stability and low synthesis costs. Their amphiphilic nature allows efficient encapsulation of both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs, making them promising for drug delivery.

Swimming Behavior of the Nudibranch Melibe leonina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Swimming in the nudibranch Melibe leonina consists of five types of movements that occur in the following sequence: (1) withdrawal, (2) lateral flattening, (3) a series of lateral flexions, (4) unrolling and swinging, and (5) termination.

Conserved Gene Order and Adaptive Evolution in Mitochondrial Genomes of Calappa Crabs: Insights Into Ecological Specialization and Phylogenetic Utility

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genomes of five Calappa species, filling a critical gap in genomic resources for the family Calappidae. Our analyses confirm the monophyly of Calappidae, detect positive selection in key energy metabolism genes (ATP6, ND2, ND5), and reveal conserved gene arrangement patterns.

IDENTIFICATION AND PREVALENCE OF ECTOPARASITES IN BLUE SWIMMING CRAB (Portunus pelagicus Linnaeus, 1758) ON THE NORTH COAST OF JAVA

open access: yesJurnal Teknologi Perikanan dan Kelautan
Besides overfishing, other factors that influence the decline in blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) production are diseases caused by parasites. Poor environmental conditions could trigger parasite infestation on their host.
