Longevity and Growth of the Crabs Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae (Decapoda: Portunidae) in Paraíso Tabasco Mexico

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individual growth models are important in fisheries of natural populations and can be incorporated in production models to estimate their maximum sustainable yield. Blue crab species, Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes rathbunae were obtained in the Mecoacán lagoon, Paraíso, Tabasco Mexico by “nasa” and “yahual” nets. Biometric values such as

Evidence of Cheliped Autotomy and Regeneration in the Lower Miocene Crab Achelous monspeliensis From Portugal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
