This work is the first study on biology and biochemistry of Libinia dubia on the
Mediterranean Sea as well as socio-economic impacts of this spider crab proliferation on …

Grooming behaviors reduce fouling of body regions. In decapods, grooming time budgets,
body regions groomed, and grooming appendages are known in several species; however …

Abstract Background Kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus) is a commercially important
crustacean and a valuable global food source. This study employed scanning electron …

Grooming behaviors that decrease fouling have been documented in various animals. The
result of autogrooming has been frequently documented, with the behaviors and time spent …

Respiration, sensory input, movement, and molting rely on crustacean body regions being
free of fouling. While the grooming appendages of shrimps have been described, few …

Here, we describe the morphology of the setal types of the feeding apparatus (mandible,
maxillule, maxilla, first to third maxillipeds and the cheliped) of three species of sesarmid …

The spider crabs Schizophrys dahlak Griffin and Tranter, 1986 and Hyastenus hilgendorfi
De Man, 1887 achieve camouflage through encrusting, allowing sessile organisms such as …

Body fouling has been reduced by grooming behaviors. In decapods, grooming has been
focused on gills, sensory structures, and jointed appendages. In this study, grooming …

The setal abundances and distributions of the spider crab Libinia are examined, using two
species. These spider crabs decorate their bodies with environmental materials and …

Grooming behaviors reduce body fouling and are well documented in crustaceans. There
are more detailed laboratory-based grooming studies on fully aquatic crabs compared to …
