Habitat ecology and food and feeding of the herring bow crab Varuna litterata (Fabricius, 1798) of Cochin backwaters, Kerala, India [PDF]

, 2013
Habitat ecology and food and feeding of the herring bow crab, Varuna litterata of Cochin Backwaters, Kerala, India were investigated for a period of one year (April 2011-March 2012). Among the 15 stations surveyed, the crabs were found to occur only in 4

Temperature effects on zoeal morphometric traits and intraspecific variability in the hairy crab Cancer setosus across latitude [PDF]

, 2009
International audiencePhenotypic plasticity is an important but often ignored ability that enables organisms, within species-specific physiological limits, to respond to gradual or sudden extrinsic changes in their environment.

Planktonic larval stages—an adaptation to lower predation rates in the pelagic environment?

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3417-3430, November 2025.
Abstract A majority of marine benthic macroinvertebrate and fish species have planktonic larval stages that disperse in the water column from days to months. However, the adaptive significance of pelagic larvae, and whether predation is higher in the pelagic or the benthic environment, is still debated, partly due to a lack of studies assessing larval ...

Long-Term Effects of an Invasive Shore Crab on Cape Cod, Massachusetts [PDF]

, 2015
Invasive species can cause dramatic changes in the structure of intertidal communities. In some systems, however, abundance or impacts of invaders may peak 10–20 years after invasion and decline thereafter.

Historical Biogeography of Spiny Lobsters in the Genus Panulirus (Achelata: Palinuridae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
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 ...

Fish predation on brachyuran larvae and juveniles in the Pinheiros river, Guaratuba Bay, Paraná, Brazil

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2009
Fish predation is thought to exert an important influence on the demographical dynamics of larvae and juveniles of estuarine brachyuran crabs but few studies have investigated this phenomenon in nature.

Distributional patterns of brachyuran larvae in Manora Channel (Karachi, Pakistan) collected during 1995 [PDF]

, 2007
This study gives an account of distributional patterns of Brachyuran larvae in the Manora Channel from January to November 1995. The planktonic sampling was carried out during day time from surface and sub-surface waters of station I and II (certain ...

Functional Trait Divergence in Feeding Ecology Between Two Closely Related Upeneus Species in the Beibu Gulf: An Ecological Morphology Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
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 ...

Egg production in Eurypodius latreillei Guérin, 1828 (Decapoda: Majidae) in the Strait of Magellan, southern Chile

Scientia Marina, 1999
Egg production and reproductive investment were studied in the spider crab Eurypodius latreillii from the Straits of Magellan, southern Chile. A total of 66 ovigerous females were analyzed, ranging in size from 29.0 to 62.9 mm carapace length.

Courtship and mating behaviour in Ebalia tuberosa (Pennant) (Decapoda, Brachyura, Leucosiidae) [PDF]

, 1983
There is a dearth of information on any aspect of the biology of crabs of the family Leucosiidae. Knowledge of the sexual behaviour of members of this family is limited to the description of the courtship and mating behaviour of Philyra scabriuscula ...
