Geometric morphometric analysis in female freshwater crabs of Sarawak (Borneo) permits addressing taxonomy-related problems [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
The taxonomy of freshwater crabs requires a paradigm change in methodological approaches, particularly in investigations that use morphological techniques. The traditional morphometric approach (two-dimensional measurements) tends to be inappropriate for

Toxicological impacts of environmentally equivalent microplastics and cadmium co-exposure in tropical freshwater crab Sartoriana spinigera [PDF]

Frontiers in Toxicology
The toxic effects of microplastics (MPs) and trace metals on freshwater crustaceans remain poorly understood; therefore, current research examined the individual and combined effects of MPs, specifically polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene terephthalate ...

The oldest freshwater crabs: claws on dinosaur bones. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
Abstract With 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.
