Analysis of Intermolt and Postmolt Transcriptomes Provides Insight into Molecular Mechanisms of the Red Swamp Crayfish, Procambarus Clarkii Molting

The paper analyzes transcriptomes of post-molt and intermolt stages in red swamp crayfish to identify genes involved in molting processes.

Cannibalism as a feeding strategy for mantis shrimp Oratosquilla oratoria (De Haan, 1844) in the Tianjin coastal zone of Bohai Bay

This study identifies the prey consumed by mantis shrimp Oratosquilla oratoria in Bohai Bay, finding that cannibalism is a significant feeding strategy due to food scarcity caused by habitat degradation.
