Several shrimp diseases are new or newly emerged in Asia, including acute
hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND), hepatopancreatic microsporidiosis (HPM) …

Mangroves are defined by the presence of trees that mainly occur in the intertidal zone,
between land and sea, in the (sub) tropics. The intertidal zone is characterised by highly …

Aquaculture is the fastest‐growing animal production sector, and shrimp production already
exceeds that of the capture fishery. Viruses and bacteria account for the majority of disease …

With today's technology for production of molecular sequences, DNA taxonomy and
barcoding arose as a new tool for evolutionary biology and ecology. However, their validities …

Animal taxa show remarkable variability in species richness across phylogenetic groups.
Most explanations for this disparity postulate that taxa with more species have phenotypes …

Not much more than fifteen years ago, the first decapod phylogenies based on mitochondrial
DNA (mtDNA) sequences revolutionized decapod phylogenetics. Initially, this method was …

A phylogenetic approach to the origin and maintenance of species diversity ideally requires
the sampling of all species within a clade, confirmation that they are evolutionarily distinct …

With predation and carnivory as catalysts, the first known eye appeared in a trilobite during
the Cambrian explosion approximately 543 million years ago. This period was a crucible of …

The remarkably discontinuous distribution of the cave shrimp genus Troglocaris in South
France, West Balkans, and West Caucasus has long been considered a biogeographic …

Although seafood species identification has traditionally relied on morphological analysis,
sometimes this is difficult to apply for the differentiation among penaeid shrimps owing to …
