1 – Dynamics of the Integument

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of recent laboratory studies of cues that shorten or lengthen the time to metamorphosis (TTM) of the megalopa stage of brachyuran crabs and finds no evidence that structural mimics of natural substrate affect TTM.

TL;DR: A pathogenic virus was diagnosed from juvenile Caribbean spiny lobsters Panulirus argus from the Florida Keys, apparently widespread, infectious, and lethal to the CaribbeanSpiny lobster.

TL;DR: High specific Ca content seems to be a common property of Daphnia spp.

TL;DR: The mechanism and kinetics of Ca-containing biomineral dissolution is analyzed within the framework of (i) diffusion-re reaction theory; (ii) surface-reaction controlled, morphology-based theories, and (iii) phenomenological surface coordination models.

TL;DR: Activity of an enzyme which synthesizes glucosamine-6-phosphate, a precursor of chitin, was found in crayfish epidermis and began to rise in late premolt and reached its peak in postmolt, and in crude enzyme preparations no need for an amino source could be demonstrated.

TL;DR: An immunochemical analysis of the proteins of the serum and hypodermis of healthy male Carcinus mediterraneus revealed variations during the moult cycle, with proteins corresponding to these two groups increased at the time of elaboration of new cuticular structures.

TL;DR: In this article, the regeneration of the pattes de l'Orconectes obscurus juvenile has been observed in a series of crustaces, including the stade d'intermue C3 ou C4.

TL;DR: The evidence in this study implicates a major role for dialyzable inhibitory factor(s) as the mechanism involved in the regulation of the activity of ASase-B during the molt cycle.
