On a collection of brachyuran crabs from Lakshadweep, Indian Ocean (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura).

Zootaxa, 2019
The crab fauna (Crustacea: Brachyura) of Lakshadweep (Laccadives), a group of Indian islands in the western Indian Ocean is updated, using material from the intertidal and shallow subtidal areas collected between 2012 and 2015.

Interrelationships among ecological factors of brachyuran crabs, trees and soil in mangrove community assemblage in Northeast Brazil

Community Ecology, 2019
: Mangroves are dynamic ecosystems due to influence of abiotic and biotic factors, but the latter are far less studied. Interactions between key invertebrate groups, trees, and soil properties, among others, determine the community structure throughout ...

Characterisation of the complete mitochondrial genome of Helice wuana (Grapsoidea: Varunidae) and comparison with other Brachyuran crabs.

Genomics, 2017
The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) provides important information for phylogenetic analysis and understanding evolutionary origins. Herein, we sequenced, annotated, and characterised the mitogenome of the crab Helice wuana to better understand its ...

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 crab diversity and abundance patterns in the mangroves of Cameroon

Regional Studies in Marine Science, 2018
Abstract Brachyuran crabs are the most important group of mangroves epifauna. They operate relevant ecological roles in terms of structure and function in mangrove ecosystems. The study aims to assess crab diversity and the patterns of their distribution for biodiversity documentation.

The megalopa stage in brachyuran crabs. The Podotremata Guinot

Journal of Natural History, 1981
Summary The available information on the megalopa stage in podotrematous crabs, that is the Dromioidea, Homoloidea, Raninoidea and Tymoloidea, is reviewed. The morphology of the megalopas tends to support the relationships between these groups indicated by the zoeal stages but does not provide any additional evidence on the unresolved problem of ...
