An Update on Reproduction in Ghost Shrimps (Decapoda: Axiidea) and Mud Lobsters (Decapoda: Gebiidea) [PDF]
In this report, I review the taxonomic history, body adaptations, ecology, and reproduction of the infraorders Axiidea (ghost shrimps) and Gebiidea (mud lobsters).

Global coordination and standardisation in marine biodiversity through the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and related databases. [PDF]
The World Register of Marine Species is an over 90% complete open-access inventory of all marine species names. Here we illustrate the scale of the problems with species names, synonyms, and their classification, and describe how WoRMS publishes online ...

On the occurrence of <i>Ctenocheles</i> (Decapoda, Axiidea, Ctenochelidae) in the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin. [PDF]
Because of close morphological affinities, fossil cheliped fragments of the ghost shrimp Ctenocheles (Decapoda, Axiidea, Ctenochelidae) can be easily misidentified as remains of different decapod crustacean taxa. Re-examination of the Cretaceous decapods deposited in the National Museum in Prague revealed that all supposed specimens of the lobster ...

New Early Cenozoic ghost shrimps (Decapoda, Axiidea, Callianassidae) from Pakistan and their palaeobiogeographic implications. [PDF]
A new set of Paleocene and Eocene decapod crustaceans is described from the Kirthar Range of Pakistan. Two new ghost shrimps (Crustacea, Decapoda, Callianassidae) are described: Neocallichirus khadroensis Hyžný & Charbonnier, n. sp. from the Paleocene (Danian, Khadro Formation) of Gawar Band, Ranikot District, and Neocallichirus lakhraensis Hyžný ...

Caribbean species of Eiconaxius (Decapoda: Axiidea: Axiidae) [PDF]
The type status of specimens of three species of the axiid genus Eiconaxius Bate, 1888 from the Caribbean Sea is clarified. Eiconaxius agassizi Bouvier, 1905, E. borradailei Bouvier, 1905 and E. caribbaeus (Faxon, 1896) are diagnosed and illustrated.

The oldest dairoidid crab (Decapoda, Brachyura, Parthenopoidea) from the Eocene of Spain
Abstract Eubrachyurans, or ‘higher’ true crabs, are the most speciose group of decapod crustaceans and have a rich fossil record extending into the Early Cretaceous. However, most extant families are first found in the fossil record in the Palaeogene, and particularly in the Eocene.

It is generally believed that local populations of marine benthic macro‐invertebrates with planktonic larvae are in source–sink relationships via larval dispersal in a given regional population. Numerical simulations abound for connectivity through larvae among local/regional populations, but few empirical studies have taken local population dynamics ...

Decapod crustaceans from the Lower Cretaceous of Spain, with an account of new occurrences in Barremian-Aptian strata of the Maestrazgo Basin [PDF]
Decapod crustaceans are rare in Early Cretaceous invertebrate assemblages from the Iberian Peninsula; however, current knowledge does allow differences in taxonomic composition between different basins and subbasins to be recognised.

Unravelling the distribution of decapod crustaceans in the lower Eocene coral reef mounds of NE Spain (Tremp-Graus Basin, southern Pyrenees) [PDF]
Modern reefs are considered important hot spots of biodiversity, but the analysis of the distribution of the invertebrate fauna across different reefal domains in ancient ecosystems can be challenging, because the fossil record is usually affected by ...

The Eiconaxius cristagalli species complex (Decapoda, Axiidea, Axiidae) [PDF]
Four species of Eiconaxius are known to possess a denticulate median rostral carina: E. antillensis Bouvier, 1905, E. asper Rathbun, 1906, E. cristagalli Faxon, 1893, and E. indicus (De Man, 1907). They are reviewed and two similar new species are described: E. dongshaensis sp. nov., and E. gololobovi sp. nov. A key to distinguish them is presented.
