DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-92486-1_25
Abstract: The structures and composition of crab carapaces are of interest to biomimetic designers and materials scientists as they are hierarchically optimised to dissipate fracture energies through molecular to macroscopic length scales. At each length scale, mechanical energy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-018-3461-5
Abstract: Although constructions for marine ranching may influence the local habitat, few studies have focused on the effect of substrate changes on the predator–prey relationship in the benthic community. A predator–prey system was established in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4299-8
Abstract: Soft sediment shores in the tropics are highly dynamic environments, where behavioural patterns of organisms are constrained by tidal conditions, and environmental temperatures during an organisms’ activity periods can exceed their thermal tolerance levels. In… read more here.
