The Indo-Pacific horseshoe crab, Tachypleus gigas is often referred to as a living fossil due to its 450 million years ancestry. It plays a critical ecological role in coastal ecosystems and offers unique insights into arthropod evolution. Despite being investigated for more than a century, its early embryonic development remains poorly understood. In this study, we identified and presented the first comprehensive proteomic ch...

Our oceans have been under immense stress due to the deposition and accumulation of marine debris, of which 80% are plastics. Of these, microplastics which are small plastic fragments measuring less than five mm, have been a real bane to the marine fauna, especially the ornamental fishes inhabiting coral reef regions. The multibillion-dollar marine ornamental fish trade depends on these fishes caught from coral reefs. It has o...

Broad‐scale patterns of resource utilization and the corresponding morphological evolution is a result of an integral relationship among form and function. In addition, there is also an inherent role of the latter in determining species co‐interaction and assemblage pattern that forms an integral aspect of ecological research. The present study aimed to evaluate the ecomorphological relationship among 37 fish species inhabitin...
