BURROW STRUCTURE OF THE MUD SHRIMP UPOGEBIA MAJOR (DECAPODA: THALASSINIDEA: UPOGEBIIDAE) [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2002 Burrow structure of the thalassinidean mud shrimp Upogebia major (de Haan) was investigated on a tidal flat in Tokyo Bay, central Japan, using in situ resin casting. Burrow structure consisted of two sections, an upper U-shaped part and a lower I-shaped part, with chambers and short branches on each.

Distribution of intertidal upogebiid shrimp (Crustacea : Decapoda : Thalassinidea) in Japan [PDF]
, 2004 The distributions of six intertidal species of Upogebiidae were determined by collecting shrimp from 74 sites on tidal flats and boulder beaches in Japan, from northern Honshu (the main island of Japan) to the Ryukyu Archipelago (southwestern Japan ...

A new subfamily, Vulcanocalliacinae n.subfam., for Vulcanocalliax arutyunovi n.gen., n.sp from a mud volcano in the Gulf of Cadiz (Crustacea, Decapoda, Callianassidae) [PDF]
, 2007 A new ghost shrimp, Vulcanocalliax arutyunovi n.gen. n.sp., is described and accommodated in the new subfamily Vulcanocalliacinae. This subfamily shares with the Bathycalliacinae Sakai & Turkay, 1999 the presence of epipods on the third maxilliped and ...

Eocene Decapod Crustacea (Thalassinidea and Brachyura) from Patagonia, Argentina
Annals of Carnegie Museum, 2012 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 ...

Phenotypic robustness can increase phenotypic variability after non-genetic perturbations in gene regulatory circuits [PDF]
, 2010 Non-genetic perturbations, such as environmental change or developmental noise, can induce novel phenotypes. If an induced phenotype confers a fitness advantage, selection may promote its genetic stabilization. Non-genetic perturbations can thus initiate
