Historical Biogeography of Spiny Lobsters in the Genus Panulirus (Achelata: Palinuridae)
ABSTRACT Aim Panulirus is the spiny lobster genus with the most living species, containing 22 recognised species split into two lineages distinguished by habitat preference. Diversification has been proposed to occur due to geographic events affecting the distribution of adults and the dispersal potential of long‐lived larvae by oceanic currents ...

This research not only provides new insights into the niche differentiation and adaptive evolution of closely related species but also offers significant evidence for understanding resource allocation mechanisms within ecosystems. ABSTRACT Closely related species coexisting in the same habitat often undergo niche differentiation or morphological ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is expected to significantly impact coastal populations worldwide. The macrophysiological factors that determine the upper thermal limits (UTL) of intertidal ectotherms, however, remain poorly understood.

Range extension of brachyuran crabs along the Baja California coast, Mexico (Crustacea: Decapoda)
The study of brachyuran crabs collected from intertidal areas of the upper Gulf of California and the west coast of the Baja California peninsula, at Tortugas Bay, Baja California Sur, has produced a northern range extension for the following species ...

Life Cycle and Biology of Portunid Crabs [PDF]
In crustaceans, as growth progresses, certain dimensions of the animal’s body may grow much more than others, resulting in the phenomenon known as relative growth (Hartnoll, 1974). Studies of relative growth are often used to determine changes in the

The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is considered amongst the most damaging invasive species globally; however, the UK distribution of the species is not well known, with current management protocols reliant on reports of individual sightings. In this study, the first probe‐based, species‐specific qPCR assay was developed for the detection of ...

A new Early Oligocene crab (Decapoda, Brachyura, Dromiacea) from northwest Belgium, with comments on its palaeobiology [PDF]
A new genus and species of dromiacean crab, Lucanthonisia praemium, is recorded from the basal Belsele- Waas Clay Member (Boom Clay Formation; Rupelian, lower Oligocene) as formerly exposed at the Scheerders van Kerchove (SVK) clay pit near Sint-Niklaas,
