Distribution and behaviour of the spider crab Macroregon/a maeroch/ra Sakai (Brachyura) around the hydrothermal vents of the northeast Pacific. Can. J. Zool., 65(10):2443-2449.
The crab is found at bathyal depths and prefers hard substrata. Its attraction to the food source at hydrothermal vents is reflected in high population concentrations around vent sites. Mature males tend to be widely dispersed while the female-juvenile group clusters in and around vents. Stomachs of captured specimens contain remains of vent animals, confirming that this crab is a major predator at these vents. Other aspects suggest the sexes are separable on the basis of carapace aspect ratio, that polygamy is not apparent, and that planktotrophic larvae are released. The crab's ability to range both in and away from vents makes it an excellent indicator of hydrothermal activity, and represents a mechanism for transferring the rich production of chemosynthetic activity to the oligotrophic deep-sea environment.

88:3586 Lawson, G.W. and D.M. John, 1987. The marine algae and coastal environment of tropical West Africa. (Second edition). Nova Hedwigia, (Beihefte)93: i-415.
This is a revision of 'a comprehensive account' of tropical West African marine algae (published five years earlier) which covered research of the preceding 25 years. The intervening period, although brief, has brought new data on ecology and distribution of some taxa and generated new classification schemes, requiring name changes and transfers at the genus and species levels. Aspects of the environment that affect the nature of the algal community are covered in addition to descriptions of the algae themselves and numerous illustrations. (gsb)
