The highly rearranged mitochondrial genomes of the crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae) and gene order evolution in Brachyura [PDF]

, 2017
We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of the spider crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae, Brachyura). Both genomes contain the whole set of 37 genes characteristic of Bilaterian genomes, encoded on both \u3b1- and \u3b2-strands.

Seabird nutrient subsidy alters size and resource use of functionally important mangrove macroinvertebrates

Ecosphere
Invertebrates have a central role in food webs and ecosystem functioning. By boosting productivity, allochthonous nutrient inputs influence the food webs of recipient communities. Understanding how allochthonous nutrient subsidies affect invertebrates is

Food manipulation and selection in the omnivorous grapsoid crab Neohelice granulata (Decapoda: Varunidae)

Scientia Marina, 2014
Neohelice granulata is an omnivorous, semi-terrestrial burrowing crab endemic to southwestern Atlantic saltmarshes that behaves as a herbivore when it inhabits vegetated saltmarsh areas or a deposit feeder on bare mudflats. In order to gain insights into

Harvest and identification of peeler crabs [PDF]

, 1997
Peeler crabs are simply hard shell blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) that show signs of molting. The molting process, commercially called shedding, is when the hard shell is cast off and the new soft shell emerges.
