We present the first global assessment of extinction risk for a major group of freshwater
invertebrates, caridean shrimps. The risk of extinction for all 763 species was assessed …

Most benthic marine, as well as many limnic, invertebrates pass through complex (or
biphasic) life cycles comprising a benthic juvenile-adult phase and an extended pelagic …

Southern smelts (R etropinna spp.) in coastal rivers of A ustralia are facultatively
diadromous, with populations potentially containing individuals with diadromous or wholly …

The genus Mytilopsis includes some of the most invasive estuarine bivalves in the world,
and M. leucophaeata (native to the Gulf of Mexico) and M. sallei (indigenous in the …

Due to the sparse and unstable nature of insular freshwater habitats, marine larval dispersal
of amphidromous species is considered a critical element of population persistence. We …

Amphidromy, the dispersal of larvae to the estuarine or marine environment with juveniles
recolonising fresh waters to complete development, is common on tropical islands. This has …

The Decapoda evolved in the Palaeozoic as a marine group and have since then shown
limited radiation in limnic and terrestrial environments. About 80% of the extant decapod …

The evolutionary history of the old, diverse freshwater shrimp genus Caridina is still poorly
understood, despite its vast distribution–from Africa to Polynesia. Here, we used nuclear and …

We compare the genetic structuring and demographic history of two sympatric caridean
shrimp species with distinct life history traits, one amphidromous species Palaemon …

Species with biological traits favourable to long-distance marine larval dispersal might show
a phylogeographic structuring over broad regions, even when they are genetically …
