Climate Change and invasibility of the Antarctic benthos [PDF]
, 2007 Benthic communities living in shallow-shelf habitats in Antarctica (<100-m depth) are archaic in their structure and function. Modern predators, including fast-moving, durophagous (skeleton-crushing) bony fish, sharks, and crabs, are rare or absent ...

Key For The Identification Of Mediterranean Brachyuran Megalopae
Mediterranean Marine Science, 2004 Based on larval literature, an identification key has been constructed for the megalopae of 55 species of Mediterranean Brachyura. This key is based mainly on external morphological characteristics visible, by using a microscope, limiting the necessity for dissection of specimens.

Feeding spectra and activity of the freshwater crab Trichodactylus kensleyi (Decapoda: Brachyura: Trichodactylidae) at La Plata basin [PDF]
, 2014 Background: In inland water systems, it is important to characterize the trophic links in order to identify the ‘trophic species’ and, from the studies of functional diversity, understand the dynamics of matter and energy in these environments.

COLD-INDUCED APOLYSIS IN ANECDYSIAL BRACHYURANS
The Biological Bulletin, 1986 Several integumentary tissues of brachyuran crabs separate from the exoskeleton (undergo apolysis) when exposed to low temperatures (0°C) for one hour or longer. Apolysis did not occur in crabs held at room temperature for the same length of time following the destruction of the subesophageal ganglia i.e., the phenomenon was not due to the death of the

Population Dynamics of the Fiddler Crab <i>Tubuca rhizophorae</i> (Tweedie, 1950) in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study uses monthly field surveys and length‐frequency analysis to examine the population dynamics of the fiddler crab Tubuca rhizophorae in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Key parameters, including growth rate, mortality, and exploitation rate, were estimated, revealing that the species experiences rapid growth but is subject to significant fishing ...
