Global Ecology and Biogeography, Vol. 22, No. 7/8 (July & August 2013), pp. 784-795 (12 pages) Aim: We tested the energy and metabolic theories for explaining diversity patterns of crustacean ...

Crustacean zooplankton (Cladocera, Copepoda) distribution patterns, community composition and response to altitude, temperature, pH and surface area were studied in 17 fishless subarctic ponds in the ...

Genes from a tiny shrimp-like crustacean could help in the search for the origin of insect wings, a new study finds. To be clear, there is no evidence that any crustaceans ever evolved to fly, ...

It may not be obvious, but the creature on the right (Yicaris dianensis) is a big deal. Not in size; at its largest, it appears that Yicaris was only about a millimeter long. Rather, its location ...

Many ancient crustaceans went extinct following a massive collapse of reefs across the planet, and new research suggests modern species living in rapidly declining reef habitats may now be at risk.

The crustacean brain exhibits a remarkable degree of complexity, reflecting both ancient evolutionary origins and diverse ecological adaptations. Central to these adaptations is the olfactory system, ...

A small woodlouse-like crustacean seems to help fertilise red seaweed in rock pools, much as a bee pollinates flowers. This suggests that such behaviour is more common in the oceans than we thought, ...

Studies show crustaceans can learn, remember, solve problems and form relationships ...
