Journal Article
Jones, C., Benvenuto, C., & Kendrick, P. (2022). Snapping shrimp and their crustaceous cacophony. Frontiers for Young Minds, 10, https://doi.org/10.3389/frym.2022.856579

We humans are a noisy bunch. Our sounds fill the land and air around us, and even the oceans and seas. But we are not the only ones filling the sea with sound. Tiny snapping shrimp, also known as pistol shrimp, are some of the loudest an... Read More about Snapping shrimp and their crustaceous cacophony.

Molecular approaches to reduce the illegal trade of shark and ray products in Indonesia (2022)
Thesis
Prasetyo, A. (2022). Molecular approaches to reduce the illegal trade of shark and ray products in Indonesia. (Thesis). University of Salford

Trade restrictions have been established to counteract the rapid global decline of sharks and rays (hereafter called elasmobranchs), such as controlled species under CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and...

Methylmercury, trace metals, organotins and their effects on the Qatari mangrove shrimp, Palaemon khori (2022)
Journal Article
Hassan, H., Benvenuto, C., Al Maslamani, I., Chatting, M., Mondal, D., & Leitão, A. (2022). Methylmercury, trace metals, organotins and their effects on the Qatari mangrove shrimp, Palaemon khori. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 10(7), 843. https://doi.org/10.3390/jmse10070843

The Qatari mangroves of Al-Khor are being increasingly exposed to a wide variety of anthropogenic pollutants due to land reclamation and urban expansion. In this study, we evaluated the lethal and genotoxic effects of methylmercury, trace metals, and...

Switches, stability and reversals in the evolutionary history of sexual systems in fish (2022)
Journal Article
Pla, S., Benvenuto, C., Capellini, I., & Piferrer, F. (2022). Switches, stability and reversals in the evolutionary history of sexual systems in fish. Nature communications, 13, 3029. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-30419-z

Sexual systems are highly diverse and have profound consequences for population dynamics and resilience. Yet, little is known about how they evolved. Using phylogenetic Bayesian modelling and a sample of 4614 species, we show that gonochorism is the...

Niche separation between two dominant crustacean predators in European estuarine soft-bottom habitats (2022)
Journal Article
Siegenthaler, A., Wangensteen Fuentes, O., Benvenuto, C., Lollobrigidi, R., & Mariani, S. (2022). Niche separation between two dominant crustacean predators in European estuarine soft-bottom habitats. Ecological Indicators, 138(108839), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2022.108839

Epibenthic predators in estuarine shallow soft-bottom environments are generally considered to have broad ecological niches with a wide overlap. This allows them to cope with abundant but highly variable prey communities. The assessment of trophic re...
