Abstract:
The ridgetail white prawn Exopalaemon carinicauda is a euryhaline shrimp species in the estuarine and coastal areas of China. In this study, survival rates, transcription levels of two prophenoloxidase system-related genes (EcLGBP and EcproPO) and PO...
Dietary separation between co-occurring copepods in a food-limited tropical coral reef of the Sanya Bay
Simin Hu, Tao Li, Sheng Liu, Hui Huang
2020, 39(4): 65-72. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1583-3
Abstract:
Food differentiation among coexistent species in the field is important strategy for copepods to acquire materials and maintain population stabilization. In situ diet analysis of co-occurring six copepod species in coral waters of the Sanya Bay was c...
A new pelagic Polyconchoecia Xiang, Chen and Du, 2018 (Ostracoda: Myodocopa: Halocyprididae) from the South China Sea
