Trophic egg laying: hypotheses and tests by Perry, J, Roitberg, B

The Chemoautotrophically Based Movile Cave Groundwater Ecosystem, a Hotspot of Subterranean Biodiversity by Traian Brad, Sanda Iepure, Serban M. Sarbu

“…The microbial biofilms that cover the water surface, the cave walls, and the sediments, along with the free-swimming microorganisms, represent the food that protists, rotifers, nematodes, gastropods, and crustacean rely on. Voracious water-scorpions, leeches, and planarians form the peak of the aquatic food web in Movile Cave. …”

New Vectors of TTX Analogues in the North Atlantic Coast: The Edible Crabs <i>Afruca tangeri</i> and <i>Carcinus maenas</i> by Sandra Lage, Felicitas ten Brink, Adelino V. M. Canário, José P. Da Silva

“…It is typically linked to the consumption of pufferfish and, to a lesser extent, marine gastropods and crabs. In the scope of a comprehensive project to understand the prevalence of emergent toxins in edible marine organisms, we report, for the first time, the detection of TTX analogues in the soft tissues of edible crabs, the European fiddler crab <i>(Afruca tangeri</i>) and green crab (<i>Carcinus maenas</i>), harvested in southern Portugal. …”

Octopus insularis (Cephalopoda: Octopodidae) on the tropical coast of Brazil: where it lives and what it eats by Allan Torrecilla Batista, Tatiana Silva Leite

“…Regarding diet, O. insularis consumed mainly crustaceans (68%) in shallow reef areas, bivalves (86%) in biogenic plateau areas, and gastropods (33%) in deep reef areas. The characterization of new occurring habitats, such as the area of biogenic plateau, and changes in their diet due to habitat function have shown that O. insularis occupies a broader niche than has been described in literature to date, expanding our knowledge on the ecology and biology of this octopus species of economic interest.…”
