Standard methods of measuring fecal pollution in water do not distinguish between human and non-human sources. Molecular technology enabled the development of host-specific markers that distinguish fecal sources. Human specific PCR primers, HF183F and HF134F, were designed based on phylogenetic analyses of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the Bacteroidales...

The claw shuddering display of the shore crab Hemigrapsus oregonensis was explored with acoustic and behavioral observations. Male H.
oreqonensis stridulate during claw shuddering display. The stridulatory apparatus is present only on the males. The acoustic signal was of brief duration, showed a general pattern of sound bursts, but varied...
