Vulnerability of benthic trait diversity across the Mediterranean Sea following mass mortality events - Nature Communications
The future of marine ecosystem function under global change may be predicted by examining past trends. Here, the authors examine mass marine mortality data from 389 benthic Mediterranean species (1986...

@davidhasselhoff.bsky.social - new research shows your namesake #hoffcrab males have oversized claws - perhaps to compete for mates. Perhaps some parrallels with your baywatch colleagues? www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...

Scientists name crab after David Hasselhoff because of its hairy belly
The 'Hoff Crab' gained its nickname thanks to its hairy chest, prompting comparisons with the Baywatch star.

Yeti claws: Cheliped sexual dimorphism and symmetry in deep-sea yeti crabs (Kiwaidae)
Yeti crabs (Kiwaidae) are deep-sea hydrothermal vent and methane seep dwelling crustaceans that farm chemosynthetic microbes on their bodies. Sexual dimorphism is a common feature of decapod crustacea...
