A new species of Biffarius Manning amp; Felder, 1991 (Decapoda: Axiidea: Callianassidae) from the intertidal coast of northeastern Brazil.

Zootaxa, 2020
A new species of intertidal ghost shrimp, Biffarius botterae, is described from Maranhão and Ceará in northeastern Brazilian coast. Diagnostic features of the new species include: (1) antennular peduncle shorter than antennal peduncle; (2) male major ...

Callianassidae Dana 1852

2014
Family Callianassidae Dana, 1852 Remarks. Ghost shrimps are usually strongly heterochelous. Only a few taxa have subequal chelipeds, such as eucalliacine genera Calliaxina Ngoc-Ho, 2003; and Eucalliax Manning & Felder, 1991. The chelipeds (P1) of callianassid shrimps are laterally flattened and are subject of intraspecific variation as well as sexual ...

Critical evaluation of sediment turnover estimates for Callianassidae (Decapoda: Thalassinidea)

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1993
Abstract Members of the decapod family Callianassidae influence sediment dynamics and ecosystem function via their bioturbation activities. The latter is currently assessed by measures of sediment turnover rates which are collected, calculated and expressed by different methods.

Redescription of the poorly known ghost shrimp species, Scallasis amboinae Bate, 1888, review of the genus, and description of a new species from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan (Decapoda: Axiidea: Callianassidae).

Zootaxa, 2020
A poorly known callianassid ghost shrimp species, Scallasis amboinae Bate, 1888, is redescribed and illustrated on the basis of the holotype and new material from Papua New Guinea. A new species, S.

Functional burrow morphology of Biffarius arenosus (Decapoda: Callianassidae) from southern Australia

Marine Biology, 1999
Burrows of the thalassinidean shrimp Biffarius arenosus (Poore, 1975) were investigated by in situ resin-casting on an intertidal sandflat in Western Port, southern Australia. Even though burrow casts exhibited interspecific variation, all had at least two openings, a U-shaped top and a series of tunnels and chambers.

A new genus for "Neocallichirus" grandis Karasawa amp; Goda, 1996, a ghost shrimp species (Decapoda: Axiidea: Callianassidae) heretofore known only by fossil materials.

Zootaxa, 2019
A new genus of the family Callianassidae, Laticallichirus, is established for "Neocallichirus" grandis Karasawa Goda, 1996, a ghost shrimp species heretofore represented only by fossil materials from the middle to upper Pleistocene of Japan.

Multiple paternity in the thalassinidean ghost shrimp, Callichirus islagrande (Crustacea: Decapoda: Callianassidae)

Marine Biology, 2004
Adult ghost shrimp, Callichirus islagrande (Schmitt, 1935), are obligate inhabitants of burrow systems that they excavate deeply into beachfront sediments in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Mating presumably occurs in these burrows but has never been directly observed in C. islagrande or any other thalassinidean.

Ecological Observations on Callianassidae of Puget Sound

Ecology, 1929
The Callianassidae, burrowing marine crustaceans which resemble the hermit crabs in some respects and the lobsters and crayfish in others, are a great menace to the oyster industry of Puget Sound. In fact, although not predacious, and causing damage which is indirect, they are considered the worst enemy of the native oyster, Ostrea lurida. Some regions
