A novel gene rearrangement in the mitochondrial genome of Coenobita brevimanus (Anomura: Coenobitidae) and phylogenetic implications for Anomura [PDF]
Abstract Background: Gene arrangement in vertebrate mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) is relatively conserved and fewer gene arrangement is discovered. In contrast, that in invertebrate mitogenomes is relatively common. Although a gradually growing number of gene rearrangement in hermit crabs (Paguridae) has been discovered, it is surprising ...

Ecological, physiological and life-history traits correlate with genome sizes in decapod crustaceans
Crustaceans are characterized by some of the most variable genome sizes among animals. Significant relationships between genome size and specific eco-physiological and morphological features have been described in many crustacean taxa, such as Amphipoda,

Study of morphological charachteristic and abundance of larval stages of Polyonyx sp. (Anomura: Porcellanidae) for the first time from Iranian costal of Persian Gulf [PDF]
Anomura is a group of Malacostraca that constitute important communities of marine intertidal zone and deeper communities of benthic habitats. The larval stages differ among families of Anomura.

Behavioural and respiratory response of the shallow-water hermit crab Pagurus cuanensis to hydrostatic pressure and temperature [PDF]
The evolutionary history of the Anomura has long been controversially discussed. One aspect that has received little attention is the dissimilarity in physiological tolerances of the related families Paguridae and Lithodidae to environmental conditions ...

Reproductive biology of the crab Munida subrugosa (Decapoda: Anomura: Galatheidae) in the Beagle Channel, Argentina [PDF]
Among the species of galatheids that occur in the southwestern Atlantic and coastal waters of Tierra del Fuego, Munida subrugosa (Decapoda: Anomura) is the most abundant one, especially in the Beagle Channel (55ºS, 68ºW).

First year growth in the lithodids Lithodes santolla and Paralomis granulosa reared at different temperatures [PDF]
The southern king crab, Lithodes santolla Molina, and stone crab, Paralomis granulosa Jacquinot, inhabit the cold-temperate waters of southernmost South America (southern Chile and Argentina), where stocks of both species are endangered by overfishing ...

Feeding ecology of the crab Munida subrugosa (Decapoda: Anomura: Galatheidae) in the Beagle Channel, Argentina [PDF]
Munida subrugosa is the most abundant galatheid crab species in the Beagle Channel (55°S 68°W) off Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Samples of crabs and the epibenthic community were taken on a monthly basis at two different depth strata (70m), by means of ...

New localities for Crustacea Decapoda in the Magellan region, southern South America
We report the occurrence of Lithodes turkayi (Anomura), Libidoclaea granaria, and C. edwardsii (Brachyura), in the Beagle Channel. This observation extends their range of distribution south of the previously reported limit of the Straits of Magellan ...

Encounter of lithodid crab Paralomis birsteini on the continental slope off Antarctica, sampled by ROV [PDF]
A population of stone crab (Lithodidae) was encountered on the continental slope off Antarctica in the Bellingshausen Sea between 1123m and 1304m water depths using the ROV-Isis during leg 166 of the RV James Clark Ross, in January 2007.
