crustaceans. The use of spermatophores as the main mode of sperm transfer by crustaceans …

Parsimony analysis, whether using only spermatozoal characters or spermatozoal and non-
spermatozoal characters, suggests that:(i) the Brachyura is a monophyletic taxon relative to …

The use of spermatozoal characters in elucidating animal phylogeny (spermiocladistics) has
been successfully applied in the decapod crustaceans. Most of the studies investigating …
