Octopuses are generally characterised by rapid non-asymptotic growth, with high individual
variability. However, in situ octopus growth is not well understood. The lack of an ageing …

Crustaceans play an important role in marine ecosystem and worldwide fisheries. Accurate
and quantitative description of growth is crucial in modelling the demographics and fisheries …

We examined the nursery role of salt marshes for transient nekton by searching the literature
for data on density, growth, and survival of juvenile fishes and decapod crustaceans in …

Multiple mating by queens occurs in many species of social Hymenoptera despite its likely
costs. Hypotheses to explain multiple mating include a need for more sperm than provided …

Engineered nanoparticles (NPs) undergo physical, chemical, and biological transformation
after environmental release, resulting in different properties of the “aged” versus “pristine” …

Accumulation of autofluorescent waste products, amyloids, and products of lipid
peroxidation (LPO) are important hallmarks of aging. Until now, these processes have not …

To better understand growth and age-pigment (lipofuscin) accumulation rates of the blue
crab Callinectes sapidus under natural conditions, juveniles (33 to 94 mm carapace width) …

Ceroid and lipofuscin are autofluorescent granules thought to be generated as a
consequence of chronic oxidative stress. Because ceroid and lipofuscin are persistent in …

Peracarid crustaceans are among the most important taxa in terms of biodiversity and
carbon-flow within the Weddell Sea benthos; however, very few data on their age, growth …

In this study, the age composition of the Japanese mantis shrimp, Oratosquilla oratoria, in
Tokyo Bay, central Japan, was investigated using lipofuscin, an autofluorescent pigment, as …
