Freshwater crabs and the biodiversity crisis: Importance, threats, status, and conservation challenges [PDF]
Biological Conservation, 2009 Freshwater ecosystems in the tropics host a diverse endemic fauna including freshwater crabs, but the rapid loss and deterioration of habitat means that many species are now under imminent threat. Studies on freshwater fish and amphibians suggest a third

Evolutionary history of true crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) and the origin of freshwater crabs. [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2014 Crabs of the infra-order Brachyura are one of the most diverse groups of crustaceans with approximately 7,000 described species in 98 families, occurring in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats. The relationships among the brachyuran families are poorly understood due to the high morphological complexity of the group.

Phylogenomic analyses of brachyuran crabs support early divergence of primary freshwater crabs
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2019Recent fossil calibrated molecular phylogenies have revealed that the Brachyura underwent rapid radiation during the Cretaceous and Early Tertiary, resulting in many early diverging lineages separated by short internodes that remain difficult to resolve.

The freshwater Grapsid crabs of Jamaica
Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London, 1964SUMMARY. Four species of grapsid crabs, endemic to Jamaica, spend the whole of their life cycle in fresh water; an account of their biology is given. Metopulias depressus is confined to the water which collects at the base of large tank bromeliads, and is limited to limestone regions above an elevation of about a 1000 ft.

Freshwater Crabs of the Nile System
1976In 1931 Major S. S. Flower brought together the results of 25 years interest in the Crustacea in his ‘Notes on Freshwater Crabs in Egypt, Sinai and the Sudan’ (Proc, Zool. Soc. Lond.). In doing so he expressed the hope that his paper might prove to be of use as a starting point for other workers.

A Brief History of Freshwater Crab Research
2016The history of the study of the biology of freshwater crabs is described from the first records in ancient Greece up to the present day. Today, hundreds of scientists from all parts of the world are engaged in the study of all aspects of freshwater crab biology from field studies of their ecology to molecular studies of their systematics and genetics ...

Studies on the locomotor activity of the freshwater crab, Potamon fluviatile
Hydrobiologia, 1988Locomotor activity in the freshwater crab, Potamon fluviatile, was studied both in the field, by direct counts of animals along a stream section, and by means of actographs. General metabolism was evaluated through the analysis of oxygen consumption.
