Predicting diet in brachyuran crabs using external morphology [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

Caught in transition: changes in brachyuran diversity following mangrove encroachment into saltmarshes at a southern distribution limit

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Mangroves are expanding polewards due to global change, often encroaching into adjacent temperate saltmarshes. In both vegetated ecosystems, brachyurans are responsible for ecological processes and functions such as nutrient cycling and sediment ...

Community Study of Brachyuran Crab at Setiu Lagoon, Terengganu, Malaysia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Brachyuran crab of Setiu Lagoon was systematically sampled between July 2011 and May 2012 to determine the community structure of animals and their relationship with environmental parameters. The semiterrestrial crabs were collected from a 100 m2 quadrat

The complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater crab Tenuilapotamon latilum kaiyangense Dai et Li,1985 (Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamoidea)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
We first reported the complete mitochondrial genome of Tenuilapotamon latilum kaiyangense (Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamoidea). The genome is 19,294 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region.

Intra- and Interspecific Variation in Sexual Dimorphism Patterns of Mud Crab Genus Scylla Along the Equatorial Region

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Sexual dimorphism is generally obvious in brachyurans, and sexual dimorphism between species is of a higher degree to allow separation of trophic niches compared to the lower intraspecific variations between sexes.

Systematic assessment of the Panopeidae and broader Eubrachyura (Decapoda: Brachyura) using mitochondrial genomics [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod 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 ...
