DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9744
Abstract: Abstract Most members of the speciose pea crab family (Decapoda: Brachyura: Pinnotheridae) are characterized by their symbioses with marine invertebrates in various host phyla. The ecology of pea crabs is, however, understudied, and the degree… read more here.

A giant nektobenthic radiodont from the Burgess Shale and the significance of hurdiid carapace diversity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Royal Society Open Science"
DOI: 10.1098/rsos.210664
Abstract: Radiodonts, stem-group euarthropods that evolved during the Cambrian explosion, were among the largest and most diversified lower palaeozoic predators. These animals were widespread geographically, occupying a variety of ecological niches, from benthic foragers to nektonic… read more here.

Phosphatic carapace of the waptiid arthropod Chuandianella ovata and biomineralization of ecdysozoans

DOI: 10.1111/pala.12570
Abstract: Arthropods other than trilobites or bradoriids constitute a major component of many Cambrian Burgess‐Shale‐type Lagerstätten. Owing to their scarcity in other less well‐preserved deposits, they are generally regarded as lightly sclerotized but non‐mineralized. Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.232819
Abstract: ABSTRACT Ocean acidification can affect the ability of calcifying organisms to build and maintain mineralized tissue. In decapod crustaceans, the exoskeleton is a multilayered structure composed of chitin, protein and mineral, predominately magnesian calcite or… read more here.
