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 ...

Insight Into the Nuclear and Mitochondrial Genome of the Caribbean King Crab Maguimithrax spinosissimus (Crustacea: Brachyura: Mithracidae) to Support Fisheries Management and Conservation Initiatives [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Genomic resources for the Caribbean King Crab. ABSTRACT The Caribbean King crab Maguimithrax spinosissimus is the largest brachyuran in the western Atlantic and target of subsistence, recreational, and/or artisanal fisheries. Also, its abbreviated larval period makes it a candidate for mariculture to support coral reef restoration efforts.

Contrasting population genetic structure of three semi‐terrestrial brachyuran crabs on the coast of the Japanese archipelago [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAnthropogenic activities have reduced ecotones between the ocean and land, which is likely to threaten the population of brackish‐water brachyuran crabs.

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

Population Dynamics of the Fiddler Crab Tubuca rhizophorae (Tweedie, 1950) in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.This study uses monthly field surveys and length‐frequency analysis to examine the population dynamics of the fiddler crab Tubuca rhizophorae in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Key parameters, including growth rate, mortality, and exploitation rate, were estimated, revealing that the species experiences rapid growth but is subject to significant fishing ...

Variation in the Adult Sex Ratio and Morphological Traits of Cardisoma guanhumi (Latreille, 1828) in Contrasting Habitats in the Southwest of the Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.At a regional scale, we found a bias toward one sex according to the habitat and differences in weight and size between females and males. ABSTRACT The habitat and its environmental conditions, when optimal, influence the reproduction and survival of organisms, since they can have an impact on demographic parameters such as adult sex ratio (ASR ...
