Vulnerability of benthic trait diversity across the Mediterranean Sea following mass mortality events - Nature Communications
The future of marine ecosystem function under global change may be predicted by examining past trends. Here, the authors examine mass marine mortality data from 389 benthic Mediterranean species (1986...

Yeti claws: Cheliped sexual dimorphism and symmetry in deep-sea yeti crabs (Kiwaidae)
Yeti crabs (Kiwaidae) are deep-sea hydrothermal vent and methane seep dwelling crustaceans that farm chemosynthetic microbes on their bodies. Sexual dimorphism is a common feature of decapod crustacea...
