The phylogeny of Decapoda is contentious and many hypotheses have been proposed
based on morphological cladistic analyses. Recent molecular studies, however, yielded …

The high level classification of the Galatheoidea, popularly known as squat lobsters, has
been relatively stable for almost a century. Multiple recent studies of their interrelationships …

The interest in, and attendance at, the symposium on Biology of the Anomura at the Fifth
International Crustacean Congress, 2001, indicates the recent focus on this group of …

The controversial interrelationships of the major clades of the reptant decapods are resolved
by simultaneous analysis of 16S, 18S, and 28S rRNA sequences in combination with …

Formerly treated together as the “thalassinideans”, the infraorders Gebiidea and Axiidea
represent two distinctly separate groups of decapods that have converged morphologically …

The order Decapoda represents a species-rich group of crustaceans. Numerous
economically important and morphologically diverse members of this group have been …

We conducted a molecularly based phylogenetic analysis with representatives of the
thalassinidean families Axianassidae, Axiidae, Callianassidae, Callianideidae …

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

Decapod unistellate spermatozoa are primarily characterized by the presence of a single
appendage (spike) extending from the acrosome. Among decapods, this type of …

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 …
