The complete mitochondrial genome of the burrowing ghost shrimp, Nihonotrypaea harmandi (Bouvier, 1901), (Crustacea, Decapoda, Axiidea, Callianassidae) – a validation of the genus and species classifications [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 The complete mitochondrial genome of the burrowing ghost shrimp Nihonotrypaea harmandi was reconstructed using the Illumina HiSeq platform. The genome was 15,272 bp in length made up of 37 mitochondrial genes (13 CDSs, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs) in the same ...

Relative growth, sexual maturity and handedness in the ghost shrimp Callichirus major (Decapoda: Callianassidae) from the southwestern Atlantic [PDF]
Scientia Marina, 2019 Biometric studies provide valuable information about changes associated with the growth and sexual maturity of living organisms. We analysed sexual dimorphism, allometric growth, sexual maturity and handedness in the ghost shrimp Callichirus major at ...

Host specificity and microhabitat preference of symbiotic copepods (Cyclopoida: Clausiididae) associated with ghost shrimps (Decapoda: Callichiridae, Callianideidae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 We examined the host specificity of two ectosymbiotic Clausidium copepods on two sympatric species of host ghost shrimps. Our results revealed that both species of symbiotic copepod demonstrated extremely high host specificity. Abstract We examined the host specificity of two ectosymbiotic Clausidium Kossman, 1874 copepods (Cyclopoida: Clausiididae) on
