The aggressive behavior ofMunida sarsi(Crustacea: Galatheidae)

Sarsia, 1970
Abstract Munida sarsi is a deep water, bottom-living galatheid. Its aggressive behavior was observed for several weeks in aquaria that could only partially mimic its natural habitat. It threatens by extending its chelipeds, snapping its pincers, and raising its abdomen off the mud.

The carotenoid pigmentation of Pleuroncodes planipes stimpson (Crustacea: Decapoda: Galatheidae

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1972
Abstract 1. 1. The carotenoid pigments found in Pleuroncodes planipes were β-carotene, two esters of astaxanthin. 2. 2. Pigment yields were estimated to be from 8·3 to 9·9 mg/100 g of whole animal. 3. 3. P. planipes appears to be a good source of carotenoids for fishes which can utilize dietary astaxanthin.

Moulting of a deep-sea galatheid crab (Anomura, Galatheidae) at a depth of 3572 m

Hydrobiologia, 2000
The moulting of the deep-sea galatheid crab, Mundopsissp. was observed using a seafloor observatory at a depth of 3572 m in Nankai Trough, western Japan. The duration of the ecdysis was 147 seconds. The crab rested on the substratum until ecdysis was complete. After ecdysis, it flicked and moved away from its exuviae.

First record of Munidopsis albatrossae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Galatheidae) from Antarctic waters

Polar Biology, 2008
During the BENTART 2006 Expedition, a specimen of the galatheid Munidopsis albatrossae (Crustacea, Decapoda) was sampled in the Bellingshausen Sea, at 1920 m depth on soft bottoms. This specimen represents the first record of the family for Antarctic waters.

The microanatomy of the optic ganglia of Munida irrasa (Decapoda: Galatheidae)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1976
The microanatomy of the optic ganglia of Munida irrasa was examined by reconstruction from stained serial sections. There are four optic ganglia arranged in a consecutive manner: a distal lamina ganglionaris followed by a medulla externis, medulla internis, and medulla terminalis. Two optic chiasmata are present.
