Summary: This study examined the thermal tolerance limits and thermal preference of six species of ixodid tick larvae, finding variations in survival rates and activity levels at different temperatures. Most tick species preferred temperatures between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius, while Dermacentor variabilis favored significantly lower temperatures.

Summary: The complete larval development of the spider crab Maguimithrax spinosissimus is re-described and illustrated in detail, showcasing its unique features in comparison to closely related species. This study provides support for the recent generic status of Maguimithrax within the Mithracidae family and offers additional morphological details that were not previously available, aiding in the development of conservation strategies for this species.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of polyethylene micro beads on the physiology and energetics of a coastal filter-feeding crab. The results demonstrate that long-term exposure to microplastics can have negative effects on the crab's metabolism and physiology. The study suggests that the effects of microplastics on marine organisms may have been underestimated due to the dominance of short-term exposures in current literature.

Summary: Extreme heat events and emerging infectious diseases have negative impacts on wildlife populations. The interaction between infection and host heat tolerance is not well studied. This study focused on the influence of ranavirus infection on heat tolerance in larval wood frogs. Contrary to expectations, ranavirus infection did not reduce heat tolerance and there was even a positive relationship between heat tolerance and viral loads. This suggests that infected wood frog larvae are not at a greater risk of heat stress.

Summary: The study reveals that density dependence can impact size-structured interactions among larval salamanders, with earlier-arriving species negatively affecting later-arriving species through predation and competition. Density-dependent effects reinforce asymmetric interactions among larval salamanders, with the intensity of the interactions also mediated by the arrival time and size of conspecifics.

Summary: The recent proliferation of invasive blue crab in the Mediterranean Sea is a consequence of climate change and globalization. This study investigates the thermal tolerance of the blue crab and predicts its potential distribution in the Mediterranean Sea under current and future temperature conditions. The findings provide valuable information for the management and risk assessment of this impactful crustacean.

Summary: Heat waves can have devastating effects on amphibians, including increased mortality, delayed metamorphosis, decreased body mass, and sex reversal. The severity of these consequences can vary depending on the species and the timing and intensity of heat exposure. However, thermal treatments have no adverse effects on the body mass of juvenile amphibians.

Summary: Climate change combined with anthropogenic stressors may have strong effects on threatened populations of coastal invertebrates. This study examined the effects of ocean warming and acidification on the survival, development, morphology, energy metabolism, and enzymatic antioxidant activity of European lobster larvae. The findings suggest that elevated pCO(2) levels negatively impact survival rates and rostrum length of the larvae, while temperature plays a major role in energy demands and development time.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the thermal window and hypoxia sensitivity of the blue crab population in the southern Gulf of Mexico, finding that blue crabs tend to specialize towards higher temperatures and show the lowest performance of aerobic pathways at cooler regimes. The results suggest that blue crabs in this region may be close to their oxygen-temperature tolerance limits, with implications for climate change effects on species redistribution.

Summary: The bacterial community in swimming crab larvae undergoes dynamic changes during development, with a significant increase in the relative abundance of Rhodobacteraceae in the final zoeal stage. Although indicator taxa show correlations with cometabolites of larvae and commensals, Rhodobacteraceae have less correlation with them, indicating their critical role in successful crab nursery and microbial management in crab larvae cultivation.

Summary: The study investigated how intertidal crabs, Minuca pugnax, use burrows for thermoregulation and found that females use burrows more efficiently than males. The results suggest that warming temperatures could impact crabs earlier in the year than expected.

Summary: Heat stress affects the fertility of dairy cattle, but supplementing vitamins E and coenzyme Q10 can alleviate its adverse effects on oocyte maturation and embryo development. Vitamin E was found to be more effective than vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 in improving maturation and cleavage rates, as well as increasing the count of blastocyst cells.
