A total of 4994 male and 5264 female prawns were collected monthly by a bottom-trawl net, from July 2010 to September 2012. The carapace length and weight relationship demonstrated that growth in both sexes was allometric. The asymptotic carapace length (CL∞) was estimated at 48 mm for males and 54 mm for females. The growth parameter K was calculated as 1.6 Yr− 1 for males and 1.8 Yr− 1 for females. The total mortality rate for males was more than that for females. And the exploitation rates were 0.75 for males and 0.69 for females. The sex ratio identified that it was not a constant 1:1 throughout the year, with 51.3% females. Banana prawns can spawn all year round and have a spawning peak from February to May. The Lm50% was estimated at a carapace length of 33.64 mm. The exploitation of P. merguiensis in the area is intended to protect spawners and juvenile stock for renewal. Also, the results showed that long-term monitoring is still required to better understand P. merguiensis population dynamics.","PeriodicalId":54409,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Zoology","volume":"28 1","pages":"22 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03946975.2015.1006459","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59382314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We characterized the roost sites of the spotted owlets Athene brama evaluating 134 open limb and 95 cavity roost trees during 2007–2009 from Madurai district, southern India. Roosts occurred most often in banyan trees Ficus benghalensis (47.0% of open limb and 36.8% of cavity roosts). Number of cavity openings and height of lowest limb differed significantly between open limb and cavity roosts (Mann–Whitney U test, P < 0.05). The spotted owlets used larger trees with a wider basal circumference and canopy volume for open limbs, while roost height, diameter at breast height, total limbs, number cavity openings, and height of lowest limb were larger in cavity roosts. The roost trees were closer to human settlements than other habitat types. Based on our results, we concluded that the spotted owlets preferred roost trees closer to foraging areas and large tree with dense canopy because the roosts located in larger trees are protected from sunlight exposure and provide cover from predators.","PeriodicalId":54409,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Zoology","volume":"28 1","pages":"23 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03946975.2015.1006460","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59382398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specimens were collected monthly from March 2012 to August 2013 during low tide; hermit crab weight (HW) and their shield length (SL) were measured. Gastropod shells were identified and different morphological variables were recorded [dry weight (DW), shell length (SHL), shell aperture length, and shell aperture width]. A total of 804 hermit crabs occupying 23 gastropod species were collected. Cerithium scabridum (41.8%) was the shell most occupied by the crabs followed by Turbo intercostalis (10.6%), Astrea stellata (7.8%), Lunella coronata (6.6%), and Chicoreus brunneus (5.6%). Significant difference was obtained in the percentage of shell occupation between sexes. Regression analysis showed a high correlation between the different morphological variables of hermit crabs and gastropod shells; the highest values of correlation were obtained between HW and DW. The high values of correlation coefficient and regression models between the different morphological variables of hermit crabs and gastropod shells suggest that shell architecture has a huge impact on shell utilization pattern of C. zebra.","PeriodicalId":54409,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Zoology","volume":"27 1","pages":"129 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2014-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03946975.2014.964923","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59381924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
