Significance Global mangrove deforestation and degradation drive the loss of associated invertebrate fauna vital to ecosystem services. The functional diversity resilience this has not been assessed. We show that even small patches host functionally diverse faunal assemblages can act as biodiversity reservoirs. However, globally, redundancy invertebrates (i.e., average number species performing a similar role in an assemblage) is extremely low, except Southeast Asia. Thus, modest local will...
Abstract. The benthic ecosystem has been greatly altered by environmental pressure over the past several decades. Compared to some well-studied large bays, situation will be in populated small bay areas is still under investigated. In this study, we investigated abundance, diversity, composition, and distribution of ostracod (a meiobenthic group) their interactions with eutrophication pollution through high resolution sampling surface sediment Deep Bay, a semi-enclosed riverine adjacent two...
The aim of this study was to compare the lethal temperatures (LT) fiddler crabs living in similar habitats from two distinct clades, Indian West-Pacific (IWP) and Atlantic East-Pacific (AEP).In AEP, studied were: Leptuca thayeri, low shores (LS), L. leptodactyla, at exposed areas mid shore (MS), uruguayensis, shadowed high-shores (HS).Gelasimus borealis Austruca lactea (MS) Paraleptuca splendida (HS) were analysed IWP.The AEP collected Itaguaré River Mouth, São Paulo, Brazil; IWP Tung Chung,...
Coastal and estuarine ectotherms are potentially vulnerable to temperature instability, with their thermal tolerance varying among taxa life-stages.Marine embryos larvae recognized as stages; however, the sensitivity of ovigerous females it is still unexplored.The physio-behavioural changes in extruded eggs may carry consequences for female itself a warming context, since high energy-costly life status.The fiddler crabs Leptuca thayeri Rathbun, 1900 Gelasimus borealis Crane, 1975 were used...
