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

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.

Changes in population structure and body dimensions of two xanthid crabs: A long-term study in a single boulder-shore [PDF]
Arthropods, 2012 Two xanthid crab species were studied during 29 months over a period of 14 years between 1986 and 1999 all in exactly the same boulder shore. One of the crab species studied was the xanthid, Eriphia verrucosa (Forskall, 1775) with 60 specimens, the other

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Despite the popularity of recreational fishing, our understanding of the impacts of this type of harvest within marine ecosystems generally lags behind the well‐documented effects of commercial fisheries. Intertidal oysters serve as ecosystem engineers within otherwise soft‐bottom estuaries but may be disproportionately susceptible to harvest ...

The oldest dairoidid crab (Decapoda, Brachyura, Parthenopoidea) from the Eocene of Spain
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023 Abstract Eubrachyurans, or ‘higher’ true crabs, are the most speciose group of decapod crustaceans and have a rich fossil record extending into the Early Cretaceous. However, most extant families are first found in the fossil record in the Palaeogene, and particularly in the Eocene.
