Elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are among the most threatened marine vertebrates worldwide, yet the consequences of their decline across multiple dimensions of biodiversity remain poorly understood. H...
Monstrilloid copepods have endoparasitic naupliar and postnaupliar stages infecting different groups of marine invertebrates. As adults, they have been recorded as free-swimming, non-feeding planktoni...
Macroecological patterns of life history traits, such as larval size, are fundamental to understanding the biogeography and diversity of marine invertebrates. The long-established Thorson's Rule hypot...
