New Record of Two Xanthid Crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Xanthidae) from Korea [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2014 Xanthid crabs, decapod crustacean, with the black coloured fingers, are easily found under rocks or stones in the intertidal or subtidal zones. Two xanthids, Etisus laevimanus Randall, 1840 and Paraxanthias elegans (Stimpson, 1858), were newly reported ...

Population characteristics of the crab Monodaeus couchii (Crustacea, Brachyura, Xanthidae) in the Western Mediterranean [PDF]
Miscel·lània Zoològica, 1995 Se han estudiado algunos aspectos de la biología del cangrejo Monodaeus couchii a partir de ejemplares capturados en el mar Tirreno, canal de Cerdeña y mar Catalán (Mediterráneo occidental) (fig. 1). El rango batimétrico de distribución abarcó profundidades comprendidas entre 80 y 748 m, abarcando parte de la plataforma continental y el talud superior ...

Brachyuran crabs (Xanthoidea: Xanthidae, Pilumnidae, Menippidae and Trapeziidae) of southern Oman [PDF]
Tropical Zoology, 1994 Thirty-eight species of xanthoid crab are recorded for the first time from Dhofar Province, southern Oman. The geographical range of three species [Nanocassiope alcocki (Rathbun 1902), Actumnus digitalis (Rathbun 1907), and Macromedaeus crassimanus (A. Milne Edwards 1867)] is substantially extended.

Emigration patterns of motile cryptofauna and their implications for trophic functioning in coral reefs. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 The density and diversity of species on coral reefs are greatest in dead coral and rubble, but this is driven by some of the smallest unseen individuals, limiting how accessible this energy is in the food web. Our study addresses this gap, showing how small‐scale patterns of movement influence prey accessibility, species' interactions, and community ...

Functional and phylogenetic responses of motile cryptofauna to habitat degradation. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2022 Uncovering the hidden biodiversity of coral reefs. Divers mostly see corals and fishes, but these authors have found increased numbers and diversity of tiny animals hidden in dead coral and rubble. Such animals are overlooked, but may help support food webs and functioning as the living coral structure degrades. Abstract Biodiversity of terrestrial and

Investigation on drought effects on diversity, frequency and distribution of benthic fauna in Amirkelayeh Wetland [PDF]
Majallah-i ̒Ilmī-i Shīlāt-i Īrān, 2005 The Possible effects of dry years 1998-2000 on benthic organisms of Amirkalayeh Wetland was studied in the year 2001. Six sampling stations were defined where we seasonally collected benthic organisms using a grab sampler.

Unravelling Hidden Trophic Interactions Among Sea Urchin Juveniles and Macroinvertebrates by DNA Amplification. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Rocky reefs may shift between two distinct stable states: productive algal forests, characterised by high abundance and biodiversity of macrofauna, and impoverished barrens, dominated by overgrazing sea urchins. Barren states may persist despite the recovery of adult sea urchin predators, suggesting additional stabilising mechanisms.
