Brachyuran crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda) from the Canary Islands (eastern Atlantic): checklist, zoogeographic considerations and conservation [PDF]
Scientia Marina, 2016 Just 20 years have passed since González (1995) finished one of his seminal works on decapod crustaceans of the Canary Islands, thanks to the help of the reputed carcinologists L.B. Holthuis and C.H.J.M. Fransen. This publication allowed d’Udekem d’Acoz (

Multiple Environmental Factors Increase the Niche Complexity and Species Diversity of Brachyuran Crabs in an Intertidal Algal Reef Ecosystem in Northwestern Taiwan. [PDF]
Zool Stud, 2021 Algal reefs are one of the world's rare and poorly understood ecosystems. They are mainly distributed in the Mediterranean Sea, but one notable exception-an intertidal algal reef ecosystem in northwestern Taiwan-stretches for 27 km along the coast of ...

THE NEUROSECRETORY SYSTEM OF BRACHYURAN CRUSTACEA ,
The Biological Bulletin, 1952 1. The land crab, Gecarcinus lateralis (Freminville), was selected as the principal subject for this study of anatomical relationships existing between neurosecretory centers in the eyestalks and brain of brachyuran Crustacea. Observations were also made on ten other species of crabs.2.

Impacts of urbanization on mangrove forests and brachyuran crabs in Penang, Malaysia [PDF]
Regional Environmental Change, 2021 Urban development is driving the loss and subsequent fragmentation of mangrove forests in Penang, Malaysia. However, little research has focused on the implications of urbanization onto the biodiversity within mangrove forests.

Predicting diet in brachyuran crabs using external morphology. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Morphological traits have often been used to predict diet and trophic position of species across many animal groups. Variation in gut size of closely related animals is known to be a good predictor of dietary habits. Species that are more herbivorous or that persist on low-quality diets often have larger stomachs than their carnivorous counterparts ...

Phylogenetic relationships of Grapsoidea and insights into the higher phylogeny of Brachyuran
Genomics, 2021 Decapoda is one of the most diverse crustacean orders, and has become an important research subject. However, the phylogenetic relationships among the main lineages of Decapoda remain uncertain, especially in the order Brachyura. Herein, we sequenced the whole mitochondrial genome of V.

Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of the Tuerkayana (Decapoda: Brachyura: Gecarcinidae) Genus Based on Whole Mitochondrial Genome Sequences [PDF]
Biology, 2023 Tuerkayana is of particular interest because it has been separated, in recent years, from Cardisoma and Discoplax but studies of its taxonomic status, especially from a whole mitochondrial genome perspective, have been lacking.

Systematic assessment of the Panopeidae and broader Eubrachyura (Decapoda: Brachyura) using mitochondrial genomics [PDF]
Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2021 This study provides a broad phylogenetic analysis for the Eubrachyura, with the inclusion of three new Panopeidae mitochondrial genomes: Eurypanopeus depressus (flatback mud crab) (15,854bp), Panopeus herbstii (Atlantic mud crab) (15,812bp) and ...

Conserved organ-specific microbial assemblages in different populations of a terrestrial crab [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the environment and provide genetic and physiological functions to multicellular organisms. Knowledge on the associated microbiota is becoming highly relevant to understand the host’s ecology and biology.
