Diversity and habitat preference of brachyuran crabs in Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat, India [PDF]
Arthropods, 2012 The biodiversity of Gulf of Kutch is studied well with special reference to scleretinia and mollusca but the brachyuran crab taxa are rather neglected. Gulf of Kutch is very rich in floral and faunal diversity and comprises different types of communities

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.

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 ...

A DNA barcode library for mangrove gastropods and crabs of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area reveals an unexpected faunal diversity associated with the intertidal forests of Southern China [PDF]
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background Mangroves are tropical and subtropical intertidal forests colonising sheltered coasts across the world. They host a unique faunal community, dominated by brachyuran crabs and gastropods.

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.

Taxonomy and Ecology of Brachyuran Crabs in Sunderbans
Records of the Zoological Survey of India, 2017 Indian part of Sunderbans is a wide area spread between the rivers Matla in the west and Roymangal in the east. The Mangroves are unique intertidal ecosystem that supports the biodiversity in a wide band. The brachyuran crabs prefer mangroves to complete their biological cycle and along with the crabs, shrimps, prawns, lobsters are also found to be ...
