Eocene Decapod Crustacea (Thalassinidea and Brachyura) from Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rocks of the Rio Turbio Formation, exposed in southern Patagonia, Argentina, represent one of very few occurrences of Eocene rocks in the region. Decapod crustaceans collected from the unit include one species of thalassinidean mud shrimp; Turbiocheir minutospinata, new genus, new species; and three species of brachyurans; Raninoides ...

Biffarius pacificus, a new species of the Callianassidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Thalassinidea) from northern Chile [PDF]
Nine specimens of Biffarius pacificus sp. nov. were collected with a "van Veen" grab at two sublittoral stations off the northern coast of Chile (Iquique, 22º12´S; Patache, 22º45´S) at depths ranging from 17 to 30 m. This is the first record of the genus

Review of the THALASSINIDEA (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA) from Chile and Argentina [PDF]
Thalassinid decapods have received increasing attention in marine ecology due to their deep-burrowing activity and their ecological importance in benthic communities, i.e. as bioturbators in muddy environments (Pemberton et al. 1976, Stamhuis et al. 1996, Coelho et al. 2000).

Functional morphology of cirri in the barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus (crustacea: Balanidae)
First 3D analysis of skeleton‐muscular system of cirri. Serrate setae of cirri IV–VI likely create “zipper‐like effect.” First description of the second flexor muscle in cirrus II. Grooming and food transfer supported by microstructure. Abstract Barnacles rely heavily on their mobile cirri for food capture because of the sessile lifestyle.

Burrowers such as thalassinideans remobilize sediment in benthic ecosystems, altering granulometry, enhancing organic matter cycling and oxygenation. We characterized the distribution of the mud shrimp Upogebia noronhensis and the associated macroinfauna
