Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.

Two co‐occurring species of hermit crabs use very different shell sizes, one species using shells that are too small to accommodate all the carapace or claws. The two crab species were found to have diverged in their adaptations to their environment: one species adopting a suite of traits, including the use of large shells, that enhance protection from

Polysaccharides play a pivotal role in the development of safe and healthy foods. They ameliorate fatigue, preserve the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, and provide health for the gut in living organisms. These biopolymers are applied for the fabrication of breakthrough drug delivery systems and potential platforms in regenerative medicine ...

Will Climate Change Alter the Swimming Behavior of Larval Stone Crabs?: A Guided-Inquiry Lesson
The ocean has absorbed ~one third of the excess atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) released since the Industrial Revolution. When the ocean absorbs excess CO2, a series of chemical reactions occur that result in a reduction in seawater pH, a process called
