Distribution of the Invasive Caprellid Caprellascaura (Crustacea: Amphipoda) in Cádiz Marina, Southern Spain: Implications for its Dispersal
(Universidade de Vigo * Servizo de Publicacions, 2016)
The invasive caprellid Caprella scaura Templeton, 1836 is rapidly spreading along marinas of Southern Spain, becoming one of the dominant species of the macrofoulers associated to bryozoans and hydroids of communities in ...

Wing morphology covaries with migration distance in a highly aerial insectivorous songbird
(Oxford University Press, 2022-06-01)
According to classical prediction of aerodynamic theory, birds and other powered fliers that migrate over long distances should have longer and more pointed wings than those that migrate less. However, the association ...

Colonization Dynamics of Potential Stowaways Inhabiting Marinas: Lessons from Caprellid Crustaceans
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Despite the fact that stowaway transport is an increasingly common invasion pathway, its key ecological aspects, such as colonization dynamics of potential invaders on human transport vectors, are poorly understood. ...

Loss of largest and oldest individuals of the Montpellier snake correlates with recent warming in the southeastern Iberian Peninsula
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
The effects of climate change on organisms are now being extensively studied in many different taxa. However, the variation in body size, usually shrinkage in response to increasing temperature, has received little attention ...

Shallow water caprellids (Crustacea: Amphipoda) of Azores and Madeira
(2015)
The species composition and vertical distribution of caprellids associated to hard bottoms (mainly hydroids and algae) were studied from 0 to 41 m deep in Azores and Madeira. The highest caprellid densities were measured ...

Crustacean amphipods from marsh ponds: a nutritious feed resource with potential for application in Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture
(PeerJ, 2018)
Coastal protection, nutrient cycling, erosion control, water purification, and carbon sequestration are ecosystem services provided by salt marshes. Additionally, salt ponds offer coastal breeding and a nursery habitat for ...

Spatio-temporal macrofaunal assemblages associated with the endangered orange coral Astroides calycularis (Scleractinia: Dendrophylliidae)
(Inter-Research, 2014-07-23)
The orange coral Astroides calycularis is internationally protected due to its narrow distribution, its sensitivity to environmental changes and anthropogenic disturbance. Spatio-temporal macrofaunal assemblages associated ...

Caprellid assemblages (Crustacea: Amphipoda) in shallow waters invaded by Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea from southeastern Spain
(BMC, 2009)
Growth of the invasive algae Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea in shallow habitats may inXuence the faunal assemblage composition. We studied its eVects on caprellid assemblages associated with shallow-water habitats ...

Diets of peracarid crustaceans associated with orange coral Astroydes calycularis in southern Spain
(Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, 2016)
The endangered and Mediterranean endemic orange coral ( Astroides calycularis ) hosts an important macrofaunal assemblage. The gut contents of the main peracarids associated with the orange coral were analysed. In total ...

Rainfall at African wintering grounds predicts age-specific probability of haemosporidian infection in a migratory passerine bird
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-10-01)
In migratory species breeding in temperate zones and wintering in tropical areas, the prevalence of blood parasites may be affected by migratory strategies and winter habitat choice. We explored whether African winter ...
