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 …

Crabs of the infra-order Brachyura are one of the most diverse groups of crustaceans with
approximately 7,000 described species in 98 families, occurring in marine, freshwater, and …

This volume, 9B, covers the infraorders of the Astacidea that were not covered in volume 9A
(Enoplometopoidea, Nephropoidea and Glypheidea) as well as the Axiidea, Gebiidea and …

The preamble to the Systema Brachyurorum (Ng et al., 2008), the catalysis for this and
similar annotated checklists, began with the readers' attentions directed to previous …

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

Phylogenetic relationships among all of the major decapod infraorders have never been
estimated using molecular data, while morphological studies produce conflicting results. In …

Abstract Background The infraorder Anomura has long captivated the attention of
evolutionary biologists due to its impressive morphological diversity and ecological …

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 …
