Reproduction involves high energetic costs which are related to behaviour and gamete
production. In females energy allocation to gamete production has been well documented …

For polyandrous species where females have sperm storage structures, males develop
several strategies to avoid sperm competition and thus to maximize the number of eggs …

In polygynous species, the sperm economy hypothesis predicts that males can adjust the
amount of their ejaculate during copulation in response to (1) individual traits of females …

One of the most remarkable features of the reproductive systems of eubrachyuran crabs is
the presence of specialized organs for sperm storage, the seminal receptacles. Descriptions …

Sperm depletion in males can occur when polygynous species are intensively exploited
under a male-biased management strategy. In fisheries involving crabs species, the effects …

Reproductive strategies vary according to season length, individual reproductive traits, and
factors associated with the social context such as density and sex ratio of the individuals …

The information currently available on sexual selection in hermit crabs is reviewed to identify
the role of males and females before, during and after mating. According to this information …

Variation in female sperm storage is explained, in part, by the amount of sperm transferred at
mating. Laboratory mating experiments were conducted on Eurypanopeus depressus and …

Little is known about sperm allocation patterns in crustaceans, especially in anomuran
crabs. We investigated whether male stone crabs, Hapalogaster dentata, change the …

Males with limited sperm reserves should allocate sperm efficiently during the reproductive
season. As efficiency depends on the temporal distribution of mating opportunities with …
