The complete mitochondrial genome of Scyra compressipes Stimpson, 1857 (Decapoda: Epialtidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 The family Epialtidae is the most diversified family within superfamily Majoidea but there is no report for complete mitogenome of any species in this family. This study was performed to sequence a complete mitogenome of Scyra compressipes Stimpson, 1857,

Feeding and decoration preferences of the epialtidae crab Acanthonyx scutiforms [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2009 Studies on the feeding preferences of marine herbivores are very important for our better understanding of the biology and the ecological role of these organisms. Members of the family Epialtidae are usually herbivores that mask themselves with pieces of

Growth and longevity of the spider crab Libinia ferreirae (Majoidea, Epialtidae) [PDF]
Nauplius, 2020 We estimated the growth parameters of the spider crab, Libinia ferreirae (age, asymptotic size and growth rate) using the von Bertalanffy growth equation model.

Mating and ejaculate allocation pattern in the kelp crab Taliepus dentatus (Decapoda: Epialtidae) [PDF]
Nauplius, 2021 Ejaculate allocation patterns vary widely among species and often depend on characteristics of the individual. However, it is poorly known whether ejaculate allocation patterns change in response to distinct ontogenetic stages (i.e., adolescent vs. adult)

On the morphological differentiation between Libinia spinosa and L. ferreirae (Crustacea: Brachyura: Majoidea: Epialtidae) [PDF]
Zoologia, 2012 Libinia spinosa H. Milne Edwards in Guérin, 1832 and L. ferreirae Brito Capello, 1871, inhabit very similar environments, and their geographic and bathymetric distributions overlap for about 3000 km along the southwestern Atlantic.

DNA barcoding of the spider crab Menaethius monoceros (Latreille, 1825) from the Red Sea, Egypt [PDF]
Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Background Most spider crab species inhabiting the Red Sea have not been characterized genetically, in addition to the variation and complexity of morphological identification of some cryptic species.

All or nothing: Switch to high current reproductive investment under risk of starvation in male kelp crab. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 In this study, we demonstrate plasticity in recovery of seminal reserves in response to distinct environmental conditions in the kelp crab Taliepus dentatus. We show that the recovery index at 16°C within 30 days was twice as high in starved compared with fed crabs.

The oldest dairoidid crab (Decapoda, Brachyura, Parthenopoidea) from the Eocene of Spain
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023 Abstract Eubrachyurans, or ‘higher’ true crabs, are the most speciose group of decapod crustaceans and have a rich fossil record extending into the Early Cretaceous. However, most extant families are first found in the fossil record in the Palaeogene, and particularly in the Eocene.
