Crustacean larvae have served as distinguished models in the field of Ecological
Developmental Biology (“EcoDevo”) for many decades, a discipline that examines how …

In the shrimp Crangon crangon, an important fishery resource and key species in the
southern North Sea, we studied temporal variations in size, biomass (dry weight, W) and …

Current concerns about climate change have led to intensive research attempting to
understand how climate-driven stressors affect the performance of organisms, in particular …

Determining the saline niche of the congeneric and co‐existing species that inhabit
supralittoral rockpools subjected to extremely fluctuating saline conditions is a crucial …

Elucidation of the key nutritional requirements for complete larval development of the
tropical spiny rock lobster, Panulirus ornatus, presents a major challenge for the …

The shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller 1862) has an extremely large geographic
range (> 4000 km across) in northern and central South America, comprising estuarine and …

Mysids are an important component of estuarine hyperbenthos and a major prey item in the
food web of many estuaries. Understanding the abiotic and biotic mechanisms determining …

Reproduction involves high energetic costs which are related to behaviour and gamete
production. In females energy allocation to gamete production has been well documented …

Climate change is leading to alterations in salinity and carbonate chemistry in arctic/sub-
arctic marine ecosystems. We examined three nominal populations of the circumpolar …

Shallow-water coastal environments suffer frequent reductions in salinity due to heavy rains.
This creates stressful conditions for the organisms found there, particularly for the early …
