Exploring the preservation of a parasitic trace in decapod crustaceans using finite elements analysis
N. L. Wright, A. A. Klompmaker, E. Petsios
This study uses CT scanning and finite elements analysis to examine how parasite-induced branchial swellings in decapod crustaceans affect host preservation, finding localized stress peaks that may reduce preservation potential.
