Cleaning symbiosis has been documented extensively in the marine environment over the
past 50 years. We estimate global cleaner diversity comprises 208 fish species from 106 …

Several decapod crustaceans are invaders, but little is known about the biological
characteristics that potentiate the success of these decapods in invaded ecosystems. Here …

Abstract The 'Tomlinson–Ghiselin'hypothesis (TGh) predicts that outcrossing simultaneous
hermaphroditism (SH) is advantageous when population density is low because the …

Shrimps from the ecologically diverse genera Lysmata and Exhippolysmata are rare among
marine invertebrates because they are protandric simultaneous hermaphrodites: shrimps …

In caridean shrimps, sexual systems vary from gonochorism to various forms of
hermaphroditism. The shrimp Salmoneus carvachoi has been reported to exhibit both male …

The objective of this study was to investigate morphological variation in traits of systematic
relevance and the phylogenetic position, ecology, and reproductive biology of the shrimp …

The sexual system of the symbiotic shrimp Thor amboinensis is described, along with
observations on sex ratio and host-use pattern of different populations. We used a …

Of paramount importance to studies that profit from molecular trees is the accuracy and
robustness of the reconstructed phylogenies. Causes of systematic error that can mislead …

For symbiotic crustaceans, theory predicts that monogamy is adaptive when species inhabit
scarce, relatively small and morphologically simple hosts in tropical environments where …

Dating back to the early Cambrian period, crustaceans had ample time to undertake endless
experimentation with form and function. Today, no other group of plants or animals on the …
