Freshwater Crabs of Upper Baleh River, Sarawak
Borneo Journal of Resource Science and Technology, 2018 Freshwater crabs are among the most threatened species, primarily due to their high levels of endemicity, poor dispersal ability, low fecundity and the relatively fragmented nature of freshwater ecosystems. Consequently, regional diversity of freshwater crabs can serve as surrogates for assessing the quality of aquatic habitats in the upper reaches of ...

The oldest freshwater crabs: claws on dinosaur bones [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractWith approximately 1,500 extant species, freshwater crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura) are among the most diverse decapod crustaceans. Nevertheless, their fossil record is extremely limited: only Potamidae, Potamonautidae and Trichodactylidae are reported up to the Eocene of the Neotropics so far. This work documents unusually large decapod claws from

Neotropical freshwater crabs (Decapoda: Pseudothelphusidae) shred leaves [PDF]
Nauplius, 2020 Abstract Freshwater crabs are macroconsumers that are commonly found in Neotropical headwater streams that may play a key role in energy flow and nutrient cycling in detrital food webs. Although studies have examined the feeding habits of trichodactylid crabs, little is known of this behavior in pseudothelphusid species, and specifically whether they ...
