THE NEUROSECRETORY SYSTEM OF BRACHYURAN CRUSTACEA ,
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.

Insight Into the Nuclear and Mitochondrial Genome of the Caribbean King Crab <i>Maguimithrax spinosissimus</i> (Crustacea: Brachyura: Mithracidae) to Support Fisheries Management and Conservation Initiatives. [PDF]
Genomic resources for the Caribbean King Crab. ABSTRACT The Caribbean King crab Maguimithrax spinosissimus is the largest brachyuran in the western Atlantic and target of subsistence, recreational, and/or artisanal fisheries. Also, its abbreviated larval period makes it a candidate for mariculture to support coral reef restoration efforts.

Similar Metabolic Costs for Mangrove Tree Crabs (<i>Aratus pisonii</i>) in Historic and Range-Shifted Habitats. [PDF]
We show that metabolic costs of mangrove tree crabs are similar in native mangrove habitats and in salt marshes that have recently been colonized with climate change. Our results suggest that changes to life history of this species that accompany this range expansion are the result of energetic constraints in salt marshes.

Predicting diet in brachyuran crabs using external morphology. [PDF]
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 ...

Comparative Proteomics of Resistant and Susceptible Strains of Frankliniella occidentalis to Abamectin. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is an invasive agricultural pest with developed resistance to abamectin in some strains due to frequent treatment with the pesticide. In this study, we examined differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between abamectinâresistant (AbaR; under abamectin selective ...

Cues for Metamorphosis of Brachyuran Crabs: An Overview [PDF]
The early life cycle of brachyuran crabs has a planktonic dispersal stage consisting of a variable number of zoeal larvae followed by the molt to the megalopa stage. Megalopae undergo horizontal transport to the settlement site where they settle out of the water column and metamorphose to the first crab (juvenile) stage.

A SEROLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SYSTEMATIC RELATIONSHIP OF THE BRACHYURAN CRAB GERYON QUINQUEDENS
1. Serological tests have revealed that the serum of the brachyuran crab Geryon quinquedens has a greater degree of correspondence to the sera of species in the families Xanthidae and Portunidae than to the sera of species in the families Cancridae, Ocypodidae, Grapsidae and Majidae.2.
