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: Environmental contamination is a significant driver of biodiversity loss, with wetlands being particularly vulnerable. This study investigated the effects of exposure to an herbicide on the development and behavior of spined toad tadpoles, finding that even low concentrations had significant impacts.

Summary: This study investigated the phylogeographic structures and demographic history of Macrobrachium japonicum in Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands. The results showed recent expansion and decline in population size of M. japonicum, which are important for the study of conservation genetics, management, and sustainable resource utilization.

Summary: Studies on reproductive system morphology are crucial for understanding the reproduction processes of species, genera, or families. This study aimed to describe the functional morphology of the male reproductive system, spermatophore formation, and sperm count of Macrobrachium brasiliense. The anatomy of the reproductive system includes a pair of testes connected to the vasa deferentia (VD) extending to the fifth pair of pereopods. The VD is divided into proximal (PVD), middle (MVD), and distal (DVD) regions, each with distinctive epithelial characteristics. The typhlosole and columnar epithelium in the PVD play a role in asymmetrical spermatophore formation, which is a common pattern among caridean shrimps.

Summary: The larval development of Pachypops fourcroi from the lower Amazon River was described in this study, focusing on morphological, meristic, and morphometric features. The larvae have an initially terminal mouth, which becomes subterminal with three barbels in the mentonian region throughout development. They can be differentiated from other Sciaenidae in the Amazon basin by their pigmentation pattern, presence of barbels, head depth, body depth and diameter, and shape of the eye.

Summary: Maintaining the correct temporal order of cellular events is crucial for animal development. In this study, researchers used time-lapse microscopy to examine the timing of gene expression, cell divisions, and cuticle shedding in individual Caenorhabditis elegans larvae. They found that there was variability in timing between individuals, but this variability followed temporal scaling. Changes in temperature, diet, or genotype also influenced timing, but still adhered to temporal scaling. However, shifting conditions during development disrupted temporal scaling and changed event order in a condition-specific manner.

Summary: To explore the origin and evolution of Palaemonidae, the mitochondrial genome sequences of Palaemon macrodactylus and Palaemon tenuidactylus were analyzed. Comparative analysis revealed gene rearrangements and provided evidence for the phylogenetic relationships within Caridea, with Alpheidae and Palaemonidae forming sister groups.

Summary: This study reports the first complete mitogenome sequence of the bumblebee shrimp, Gnathophyllum americanum. The mitogenome is 15,842 bp long and contains 13 protein-encoding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis and unique mitochondrial gene order pattern suggest that Gnathophyllum might be closely related to the genus Hymenocera. This new mitogenomic sequence data will contribute to species identification, population genetics, and biogeography studies of G. americanum.

Summary: A new shrimp genus, Opaepupu gen. nov., has been established for a bivalve-associated shrimp species, Opaepupu huna sp. nov., discovered in Hawaii. The characteristics of this new genus include specific features of the rostrum, carapace, pleonite, telson, antennular peduncle, mandible, maxillular palp, maxilliped, maxilliped, pereiopods, and uropodal exopod. Phylogenetically, the position of Opaepupu gen. nov. remains unclear and it does not seem closely related to other bivalve-associated palaemonid genera.

Summary: The study reveals the important role of serotonin in E. multilocularis development and proliferation, with evidence that serotonin is crucial for parasite integrity and survival. Serotonin also stimulates parasite metacestode development and proliferation, potentially contributing to parasite formation and growth in the liver.
