The discontinuous variation in male mating behaviour is termed alternative mating tactics. A
distinction is commonly made between alternative mating tactics that are fixed for life or …

In Remarkable Shrimps, Raymond T. Bauer explores the evolution, natural history,
biological diversity, and commercial importance of caridean shrimps--a fascinating and …

In this paper we review functional and evolutionary relationships among mating systems of
caridean shrimp and specific traits such as general biology/ecology, sexual systems …

In many species, individuals of the same sex exhibit different mating behaviours, a
phenomenon known as alternative mating tactics (AMTs). These AMTs may occur in species …

This book explores the biology of decapod shrimps, a group of animals known to most
people as a nutritious and tasty food item. Shrimps are amazingly diverse in size, shape …

During ontogeny, male rock shrimp Rhynchocinetes typus develop from the typus
morphotype through several intermedius stages to the robustus morphotype, the last molt …

The giant freshwater prawn (GFP), Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is one of the largest
palaemonids in the world, found in tropical marine, estuarine, and freshwaters, and is …

Mate searching in crustaceans depends on different communicational cues, of which
chemical and visual cues are most important. Herein we examined the role of chemical and …

Allometric growth analysis on chelae dimensions vs. carapace length (CL) was employed to
estimate average size at the onset of morphometric maturity and sexual dimorphism …

In many species, different male morphotypes usually employ different tactics to access
resources. Males with highly developed weapons are expected to fight and possibly incur …
