Clouds, shadows, or twilight? Mayfly nymphs recognise the difference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
1. We examined the relative changes in light intensity that initiate night-time locomotor activity changes in nymphs of the mayfly, Stenonema modestum (Heptageniidae).

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Evaluation of toxicity effect of Datura innoxia root extract to Clarias gariepinus fingerlings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Clarias gariepinus fingerlings were exposed 96 hours under laboratory conditions using static bioassays with continuous aeration to determine acute toxicity of Datura innoxia root extract. The LC sub(50) of the exposed fingerlings was 128.83 mg/L.

When invasions go unnoticed: Public perception of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii in Europe

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Depolarization-activated potentiation of the T fiber synapse in the blue crab [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The blue crab T fiber synapse, associated with the stretch receptor of the swimming leg, has a nonspiking presynaptic element that mediates tonic transmission.

Rhythms of Locomotion Expressed by Limulus polyphemus, the American Horseshoe Crab: II. Relationship to Circadian Rhythms of Visual Sensitivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In the laboratory, horseshoe crabs express a circadian rhythm of visual sensitivity as well as daily and circatidal rhythms of locomotion. The major goal of this investigation was to determine whether the circadian clock underlying changes in visual ...

Crushing and Cutting: Shape Variation and Morphological Integration Between the Claws of Two Swimming Crab Species (Brachyura: Portunidae)

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
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 ...

Geometric Morphometrics Reveal Body Shape Variation in Freshwater Shrimps of the Genus Macrobrachium Lacking a Mandibular Palp (Formerly Pseudopalaemon Sollaud, 1911) (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shape variation in the cephalothorax of Macrobrachium species without mandibular palp using geometric morphometrics was used as a tool to support species differentiation and propose new diagnostic characters for taxonomic identification.
