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.

Feeding and Decoration Preferences of the Epialtidae Crab Acanthonyx Scutiforms
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

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.
