Food webs as representations of who eats whom are at the core of community ecology.
Incorporation of tools from network theory enables assessment of how complex systems …

Many crustacean species live symbiotically on, in, or with other marine macroinvertebrates.
Characteristics of the macroinvertebrate hosts will have strong effects on the ability of …

A previous study predicted the evolution of monogamy in symbiotic crustaceans inhabiting
scarce, relatively small hosts in tropical environments where predation risk away from hosts …

Aim The abundant‐centre hypothesis (ACH) is based on the assumption that physiological
constraints limit populations at the edges of their distributional range, yet the geographical …

Abstract Theory predicts marked sexual dimorphism in terms of body size and body
structures used as weapons (eg chelipeds) in gonochoric species with intense male sexual …

Herein, we characterize a symbiotic relationship between the scyphomedusa Lychnorhiza
lucerna and the decapod crustacean Libinia spinosa in Río de la Plata, South America. Of …

Theory predicts that monogamy is adaptive in resource-specialist symbiotic crustaceans
inhabiting relatively small and morphologically simple hosts in tropical environments where …

Many studies on the social behavior of symbiont species have inferred that besides
environmental factors (predation pressure, competition) host-related characteristics (ie, host …

This study examined the association pattern of two snapping shrimp species that inhabit
burrows at exposed rocky shores of the Chilean Pacific coast. The two species Alpheus inca …

Theory suggests that symbiotic species should be monogamous and form long-lasting
heterosexual pairs in/on hosts when inhabiting scarce and small hosts in environments …
