Terrestrial crabs (brachyurans and anomurans) have invaded land following a variety of
pathways from marine and/or via freshwater environments. This transition from water to land …

This study examined the osmoregulatory responses to hypo-osmotic shock in the
commercially and ecologically important crab Episesarma mederi (H. Milne Edwards, 1853) …

The excretory mechanisms of stenohaline marine osmoconforming crabs are often
compared to those of the more extensively characterized euryhaline osmoregulating crabs …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are specialized membrane proteins that create selective water channels,
facilitating the transport of water across cell membranes and playing a vital role in …

In this study, the complex organization of the AnG in the giant freshwater prawn
Macrobrachium rosenbergii was revealed using various techniques, including conventional …

The objective of this study was to investigate the function of the aquaporin 4 gene (LvAQP4),
which had previously been characterized in Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. To …

Euryhaline crustaceans cope with external salinity changes by mechanisms of
osmoregulation. In the current study, we first cloned and confirmed the ORF sequences of …

The crustacean molting cycle is triggered by the elevation of ecdysteroid levels in the
hemolymph during late pre‐molt. It is known that these animals absorb water through the …

The antennal glands (AnGs) are recognized as an important organ that functions in ion
regulation and excretion in decapods. Previously, many studies had explored this organ at …

Decapod crustaceans regularly face intrinsic and extrinsic stressors that challenge pH
homeostasis, which is compensated through the process of acid-base regulation. Prior …
