Abstract. Amphidromous atyid shrimps, like Caridina multidentata Stimpson, 1860, play a crucial role in freshwater ecosystems. Despite their ecological sig

Nous connaissons les crustacés que nous trouvons sur la plage ou dans nos assiettes. Mais que savons nous vraiment de ces drôles de bêtes à carapace apparues à la surface de la Terre il y a plus de 50...

A new genus and species, Richerius marqueti gen. et sp. nov., of a crab of the family Hymenosomatidae MacLeay, 1838 are described from the inland waters of New Caledonia based on several specimens collected in two streams at altitudes of 180 m and 500 m, respectively. Richerius marqueti gen. et sp. nov. was compared to the other freshwater species known in New Caledonia, Odiomaris pilosus (A. Milne-Edwards, 1873), and to species of Amarinus Lucas, 1980, a genus comprising many freshwater species in New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Papua New Guinea, but never recorded in New Caledonia. The barcode fragment of the COI mitochondrial gene was sequenced for seven specimens of R. marqueti gen. et sp. nov., and all sequences were deposited in GenBank. A brief and updated review of the New Caledonian marine and freshwater hymenosmatid fauna is provided.

Un homme se retrouve amnésique dans une salle d’interrogatoire. Avec différents flashbacks il redécouvre qui il est et compte bien retrouver qui l’a amené ici. Mais les choix qu’il a réalisé dans sa vie l’amènent progressivement à une conclusion bien plus amère.

An amazing video from China has emerged of a crab climbing out of a boiling hot cooking pan and turning it off, seemingly saving his three crustaceans chums. In the footage, captured in Lianyungang in Jiangsu Province, north of Shanghai, on September 5, the clever crab climbs out of a heated pan and then presses the button to turn it off, while three crabs remain in the pan.
