Convergent lignocellulose degradation in terrestrial crabs is driven by distinct host genus-specific microbial communities

Victoria M. Watson-Zink, Laetitia G. E. Wilkins, Jonathan A. Eisen…·Cassandra L. Ettinger

This study identifies genus-specific microbial communities in terrestrial crabs that enable lignocellulose degradation through convergent functional adaptations.

Transcriptomic responses of gecarcinid land crabs to acute and prolonged desiccation stress

Victoria M. Watson-Zink, Richard K. Grosberg, Joelle C. Y. Lai, Rachael A. Bay

This study examines transcriptomic responses to desiccation stress in three gecarcinid land crab species, identifying differentially expressed osmoregulatory genes and their evolutionary implications.
