Comprising over 15 000 living species, decapods (crabs, shrimp and lobsters) are the most
instantly recognizable crustaceans, representing a considerable global food source …

We present an updated classification for the entire Crustacea Decapoda, listing all known
families and genera organized by higher taxonomic groups and including estimates of the …

Since the late 1800s, several infraordinal relationships have been proposed for Decapoda;
however, reaching a consensus among higher-level relationships is proving difficult …

Lobsters are a ubiquitous and economically important group of decapod crustaceans that
include the infraorders Polychelida, Glypheidea, Astacidea and Achelata. They include …

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

Integrating research into freshwater biodiversity and the role of keystone species, this
fascinating book presents freshwater crayfish as representatives of human-exacerbated …

Marine lobsters are defined as consisting of four infraorders of decapod crustaceans:
Astacidea, Glypheidea, Achelata and Polychelida. Together they form the suborder Macrura …

Phylogenetic relationships within decapod crustaceans are highly controversial. Even recent
analyses based on molecular datasets have shown largely contradictory results. Previous …

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

Axiidea and Gebiidae (formerly treated together as Thalassinidea) have a crypic lifestyle.
Collecting these shrimp therefore requires special field methods. The present paper reviews …
