Abstract

COVER PHOTO : An adult copepod ( Choniosphaera sp.) within the host ( Metacarcinus anthonyi ) egg mass. Female copepods appear highly modified, mimicking the coloration and globular shape of crab eggs. This previously undescribed egg predator was discovered in October 2021 during a laboratory course at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and is documented by Orli et al. ( Ecology , Volume 106, Issue 12, Article e70263; doi: 10.1002/ecy.70263 ). Nicothoid egg predators have never been observed in crabs along the Pacific coast of the Americas, despite extensive historical work on cancrid crab brood mortality in the 1990s.
