Integrative Phylogenetic and Morphological Analyses Reveal Two New Species of Porcellanid Crabs and Resurrect Porcellanella picta Stimpson, 1858 (Decapoda: Porcellanidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study uses integrative phylogenetic and morphological analyses to clarify the taxonomy of Porcellanella crabs, revealing four distinct species. The authors resurrect Porcellanella picta as a valid species and describe two new species from Australia (P. brevidentata n. sp. and P. longiloba n. sp.).

Heterochely and cheliped dimorphism in the porcellanid crab Petrolisthes japonicus (De Haan, 1849) (Decapoda: Porcellanidae)

Nauplius, 2022
Cheliped dimorphism is common in decapod crustaceans, and many decapods have a pair of different-sized chelipeds, i.e., one side being larger (major) than the other (minor), a phenomenon known as heterochely.

Based on Mitochondrial Genomes and Gene Order Rearrangements: Phylogenetic Relationships and Terrestrial Adaptability in Paguroidea (Crustacea: Decapoda)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Investigating the internal phylogenetic relationships within Paguroidea and the terrestrial adaptability of Coenobitidae within Paguroidea through the analysis of mitochondrial genomes of five Anomura species. ABSTRACT The complete mitochondrial genome provides pivotal information that enhances our understanding of molecular phylogenetic analysis ...

Larval descriptions of the family Porcellanidae: A worldwide annotated compilation of the literature (Crustacea, Decapoda) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2016
For most of the family Porcellanidae, which comprises 283 species, larval development remains to be described. Full development has been only described for 52 species, while part of the larval cycle has been described for 45 species. The importance of knowing the complete larval development of a species goes beyond allowing the identification of larval

Pisidia longimana ( ), a junior synonym of P. bluteli ( ) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Porcellanidae) and a species distinct from P. longicornis ( ) [PDF]

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2020
Pisidia longimana (Risso, 1816) and P. bluteli (Risso, 1816), both described from Nice, France, have been considered each other’s synonyms or have been validated depending on successive taxonomic opinions.

Defensive Behaviour in Intertidal Crabs

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2025.
Mangrove swimming crab showing defensive behaviour by raising its chelae; ruler and grey card are also shown. ABSTRACT Despite a long roster of prey defences against predators now documented by biologists, any given species utilises only some of them, and we have few a priori predictions as to if, when or where they will be employed.

LARVAL DEVELOPMENT OF MEGALOBRACHIUM ROSEUM (DECAPODA: ANOMURA: PORCELLANIDAE) UNDER LABORATORY CONDITIONS [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2002
Abstract The larval development of Megalobrachium roseum is completely described and illustrated on the basis of laboratory-reared material obtained from four ovigerous females captured on rocky bottoms of shallow waters in the southeastern Caribbean Sea.

Bottom Trawling and Multi‐Marker eDNA Metabarcoding Surveys Reveal Highly Diverse Vertebrate and Crustacean Communities: A Case Study in an Urbanized Subtropical Estuary

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.
We demonstrated the effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding as a valuable addition to bottom trawling for monitoring the species composition and spatial distribution of fish and crustacean communities in urban estuaries. We also showed that a multiplexed‐marker approach enhances species detection, especially in some taxa, for example, cartilaginous fish ...

Algal cover as a driver of diversity in communities associated with mussel assemblages across eastern Pacific ecoregions

Marine Ecology, Volume 45, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Research on intertidal mussel assemblages and associated communities has revealed that complexity and structure are influenced by environmental heterogeneity and local‐scale factors affecting recruitment. Research in situ in eastern and western Pacific intertidal ecosystems has suggested drivers of species diversity and community structure ...
