Combined effects of temperature and diet on the performance of larvae produced by young and old Palaemon serratus females
2024, Journal of Thermal BiologyEffects of food limitation and pharmaceutical compounds on the larval development and morphology of Palaemon serratus
2015, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Many crustacean larvae develop diurnal or tidal vertical migrations crossing fields of low prey densities over a prolonged time period, but for restricted periods may encounter patches of high food density, usually located in surface waters. Field observations suggest that, in temperate habitats, access to prey patches is limited to a brief period (4 to 8 h) when larvae migrate to surface waters (Abelló and Guerao, 1999; dos Santos et al., 2008). Some larvae are capable of developing under such limited access to food (González-Ortegón and Giménez, 2014; D’Urban -Jackson et al., 2014).
Phylogeographic patterns of decapod crustaceans at the Atlantic-Mediterranean transition
2012, Molecular Phylogenetics and EvolutionCitation Excerpt :The circulation pattern at the Strait of Gibraltar may affect species differentially according to the distribution of their larval phases along the water column. The Atlantic water flowing inwards could transport L. depurator epipelagic larvae (Abelló and Guerao, 1999) but prevent the outwards transport of larvae from the Mediterranean. This process is clearly observed in the distribution of the two most frequent L. depurator haplotypes, presenting opposite clinal patterns and with the most frequent Mediterranean haplotype being absent in the Atlantic area (see Appendix A).
Vertical migration during tidal transport of megalopae of Necora puber in coastal shallow waters during daytime
2005, Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf ScienceCitation Excerpt :For most benthic marine invertebrates, larval transport during their return to nursery areas is controlled by oceanographic processes which are generally stochastic in nature, causing high temporal and spatial variability in the local supply of larvae (Okubo, 1994; Shanks, 1995; Garvine et al., 1997). In decapods, the variability of abundance of larvae and postlarvae over spatial and temporal scales has been described comprehensively (e.g. van Montfrans et al., 1995; Abello and Guerao, 1999; Pereira et al., 2000; Moksnes and Wennhage, 2001; González-Gordillo et al., 2003) and large-scale trends of abundance have been difficult to determine even within single species (e.g. van Montfrans et al., 1995; Rabalais et al., 1995). The data presented here showed high variability in megalopal abundance at small spatial (m) and temporal (min) scales; nevertheless, there were significant differences in densities among the sampling areas and between dates.
Interactions between behaviour and physical forcing in the control of horizontal transport of decapod crustacean larvae
2004, Advances in Marine BiologyCitation Excerpt :Pumps are normally used in estuaries and other shallow water bodies, whereas nets have been used in all kinds of environments. Sampling programmes have taken from two depth levels, including the neuston, to several depth levels to increase vertical resolution (e.g., Brookins and Epifanio, 1985; Forbes and Benfield, 1986; Hobbs and Botsford, 1992; Palmer, 1995; Queiroga et al., 1997; Abelló and Guerao, 1999). Both pumps and nets can be used to sample at several depth levels.
