Latitudinal gradient in niche breadth of brachyuran crabs

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2015
AbstractAimNiche breadth has long been hypothesized to decrease at low latitudes and contribute to global patterns of species diversity. Range size, phylogenetic relatedness and body size also have hypothesized relationships with both latitude and niche breadth, which may further affect niche breadth patterns. Existing terrestrial data are inconclusive

Dietary and Reproductive Traits of Two Brachyuran Crab Species

2022
AbstractMany 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. However, the link between claw size and

Behavioral adaptations in larvae of brachyuran crabs: A review

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2016
Abstract Larval development in brachyuran crabs includes a number of zoeal stages followed by a single megalopal stage. Zoeae and megalopae are relatively strong swimmers, and movement up or down in the water column takes advantage of vertical shear in ambient currents with consequent transport in the horizontal dimension.

Brachyuran crabs from Iskenderun Bay (Southeastern Turkey)

2019
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

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 ...
