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.

Ecological and evolutionary implications of allometric growth in stomach size of brachyuran crabs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Individual characteristics often scale allometrically with organismal body size and the form of this scaling can be influenced by ecological and evolutionary factors. Examining the specific form of this scaling can therefore yield important insights into

Morphometric correlations between dietary and reproductive traits of two brachyuran crabs, Hemigrapsus sanguineus and Aratus pisonii. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Many animals have flexible morphological traits that allow them to succeed in differing circumstances with differing diets available to them. For brachyuran crabs, claw height and gut size are diet-specific and largely reflect foraging strategies, while ...

Molecular barcoding of the Persian Gulf mangrove associated brachyuran crabs [PDF]
Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2023 Brachyuran crabs constitute the dominant fauna in intertidal and supratidal coasts of mangrove forests. We sampled the most commonly occurring crab species from the biodiversity rich Persian Gulf mangrove forest.

A SEROLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SYSTEMATIC RELATIONSHIP OF THE BRACHYURAN CRAB GERYON QUINQUEDENS
The Biological Bulletin, 1951 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.

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
