The Biology of Upogebia pusilla (PETAGNA) (Decapoda, Thalassinidea)

Marine Ecology, 1988
Abstract. Populations of the thalassinidean shrimp Upogebia pusilla were studied on tidal flats in the Northern Adriatic Sea. Biometric analysis showed a sexual dimorphism, especially in propodus size. Size frequency distributions revealed the presence of large animals during all seasons; recruitment by juveniles occurred in autumn.

OLIGOCENE AND MIOCENE DECAPODS (THALASSINIDEA AND BRACHYURA) FROM THE CARIBBEAN

Annals of Carnegie Museum, 2006
ABSTRACT Oligocene and Miocene fossil decapods from Puerto Rico and Cuba have been poorly known; new collections from these regions as well as from the Dominican Republic have now yielded several new reports. One new genus, Psygmophthalmus, and several new species (Neocallichirus aetodes, Neocallichirus?

A review of the species of the genus Thalassina (Thalassinidea, Thalassinidae)

Crustaceana, 2012
The genus Thalassina Latreille, 1806, recently dealt with by Ngoc-Ho & De Saint Laurent (2009) was reviewed including one additional species described by Moh & Chong (2009), and has turned out to be currently composed of nine species including two new species: Thalassina anomala (Herbst, 1804); Thalassina australiensis sp.

Lactate formation in Callianassa californiensis and Upogebia pugettensis (Crustacea: Thalassinidea)

Marine Biology, 1979
The ability to accumulate lactate as a result of laboratory exposure to anoxia was examined in 2 species of mud-dwelling shrimp, the ghost shrimp Callianassa californiensis and the mud shrimp Upogebia pugettensis. Hemolymph lactate accumulated to a much greater degree in the mud shrimp, even though the overall levels of lactate dehydrogenase activity ...

The biology of Calocaris macandreae [Crustacea: Thalassinidea]

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1963
Previous work on the biology and distribution of Calocaris is discussed briefly. The distribution in Northumberland waters is considered in relation to depth and bottom sediment.Quantitative monthly samples show that population numbers remain very stable throughout the year. A well marked egg-laying period occurs in January-February when relatively few

Critical evaluation of sediment turnover estimates for Callianassidae (Decapoda: Thalassinidea)

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1993
Abstract Members of the decapod family Callianassidae influence sediment dynamics and ecosystem function via their bioturbation activities. The latter is currently assessed by measures of sediment turnover rates which are collected, calculated and expressed by different methods.
