The highly rearranged mitochondrial genomes of the crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae) and gene order evolution in Brachyura [PDF]
We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of the spider crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae, Brachyura). Both genomes contain the whole set of 37 genes characteristic of Bilaterian genomes, encoded on both α- and β-strands.

Convergent Adaptation of True Crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura) to a Gradient of Terrestrial Environments. [PDF]
For much of terrestrial biodiversity, the evolutionary pathways of adaptation from marine ancestors are poorly understood, and have usually been viewed as a binary trait.

Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of the Tuerkayana (Decapoda: Brachyura: Gecarcinidae) Genus Based on Whole Mitochondrial Genome Sequences. [PDF]
Simple Summary The current classification system of the Brachyura based on complete mitochondrial genomes lacks representative species for many genera and even families. This leads to a confusing and incomplete taxonomy within the Brachyura suborder. The

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Pilumnopeus Makianus (Brachyura: Pilumnidae), Novel Gene Rearrangements, and Phylogenetic Relationships of Brachyura. [PDF]
Pilumnopeus makianus is a crab that belongs to Pilumnidae, Brachyura. Although many recent studies have focused on the phylogeny of Brachyura, the internal relationships in this clade are far from settled.

Mitochondrial Genome of Grapsus albolineatus and Insights into the Phylogeny of Brachyura [PDF]
Brachyura is among the most diverse groups of crustaceans, with over 7000 described species. Crab mitogenomes are important for understanding molecular evolution and phylogenetic relationships.

Measurement of the Growth of the Main Commercial Rays (Raja clavata, Raja brachyura, Torpedo marmorata, Dipturus oxyrinchus) in European Waters Using Intercalibration Methods [PDF]
The intercalibration of age readings represents a crucial step in the ageing procedure; the use of different sampling methods, structures, preparation techniques, and ageing criteria can significantly affect age and growth data.

A new Early Oligocene crab (Decapoda, Brachyura, Dromiacea) from northwest Belgium, with comments on its palaeobiology [PDF]
A new genus and species of dromiacean crab, Lucanthonisia praemium, is recorded from the basal Belsele- Waas Clay Member (Boom Clay Formation; Rupelian, lower Oligocene) as formerly exposed at the Scheerders van Kerchove (SVK) clay pit near Sint-Niklaas,
