Global bottlenecks in the distribution of marine Crustacea: temperature constraints in the biogeography of the family Lithodidae

, 2009
It is often stated that members of the crustacean family Lithodidae share cold water preferences or restrictions derived in some way from their ancestral history.

A new classification of the Galatheoidea (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura)

Zootaxa, 2010
The high level classification of the Galatheoidea, popularly known as squat lobsters, has been relatively stable for almost a century. Multiple recent studies of their interrelationships, however, have revealed significant incongruities between the traditional classification and phylogeny.

First discovery of porcellanid crab, Porcellanella picta (Crustacea: Decapoda: Porcellanidae), from south-east coast of India

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2014
Studies of the distribution of any marine organism are very important in determining the range of its expansion in the oceans and to determine the factors influencing this expansion.

A new species of the genus Paralomis (Crustacea: Decapoda: Lithodidae) from the Spiess seamount near Bouvet Island (Southern Ocean), with notes on habitat and ecology

, 2006
A new species of the genus Paralomis, Paralomis elongata, has been collected from the Spiess seamount near Bouvet Island in the Southern Ocean. The species shows close affinity with P. anamerae Macpherson, 1988, from the Patagonian Shelf, P.

Crustaceans as Key Prey: Insights Into the Dietary Partitioning of Four Carnivorous Fishes in the Nansha Islands, South China Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study, through a combination of morphological analysis, molecular identification, and stable isotope analysis, confirmed that crustaceans are the primary food source for these fishes. Small carnivorous fishes reduce niche overlap by selectively feeding on different types of crustaceans—a strategy supported by the abundant crustacean resources in ...

Defensive Behaviour in Intertidal Crabs

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2025.
Mangrove swimming crab showing defensive behaviour by raising its chelae; ruler and grey card are also shown. ABSTRACT Despite a long roster of prey defences against predators now documented by biologists, any given species utilises only some of them, and we have few a priori predictions as to if, when or where they will be employed.

A comprehensive and integrative reconstruction of evolutionary history for Anomura (Crustacea: Decapoda) [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013
The infraorder Anomura has long captivated the attention of evolutionary biologists due to its impressive morphological diversity and ecological adaptations. To date, 2500 extant species have been described but phylogenetic relationships at high taxonomic levels remain unresolved.

Study of Morphology and Density of Diogenes sp. (Anomura: Diogenidae) in Bahmanshir estuary (NW Persian Gulf) [PDF]

, 2018
Taxonomic studies on the Anomura larvae of the Persian Gulf are relatively few. This research has been done on larval stage of Diogenes sp. (Anomura: Diogenidae)on coastal waters of Bahmanshir River. Anomura is a group of decapod crustaceans, including
