Dietary and Reproductive Traits of Two Brachyuran Crab Species

2022
Abstract 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 abdomen width reflects relative levels of fecundity ...

The Monophyly of Brachyuran Crabs: A Phylogenetic Study Based on 18S rRNA

Systematic Biology, 1992
A molecular approach was used to test hypotheses about the phylogeny of selected brachyuran crabs. Partial 18S ribosomal (r) RNA and rDNA sequences, ranging in length from 950 to 1,779 nucleotides, were obtained for 12 decapod crustaceans, 10 of which are generally considered to be brachyurans. Pairwise sequence-divergence estimates ranged from 0.5% to

Effects of Manipulated Diet on Size and Performance of Brachyuran Crab Claws

Science, 1994
Crabs grown experimentally on fully shelled prey developed larger and stronger claws than those raised on nutritionally equivalent unshelled prey. When one claw was immobilized, claws also became asymmetrical. These use-induced changes differ from skeletal remodelling in vertebrates and many invertebrates because changes in the rigid exoskeleton can ...

Brachyuran crabs from Iskenderun Bay (Southeastern Turkey)

2004
Research surveys were conducted monthly between July 2002 and June 2003 along the coast of Iskenderun Bay. A total of 1746 crabs were captured at 6 localities in depths of 4 to 50 m. Twenty different species were identified. Among these, Atergatis roseus (Rüppell, 1830), Charybdis helleri (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867), Charybdis longicollis Leene, 1938, Ixa
