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

In organisms using a wide variety of refuges, both the cost and benefits to the users might be
refuge-specific. Under these circumstances, users using mechanisms (eg, behavioral …

Natural history studies are important in helping to understand the origin and evolution of
social organization as well as the evolution of specialized morphological structures linked to …

Most burrowing shrimps (infraorder Axiidea and Gebiidea) are characterized by solitary
habits, which led many of these species to evolve a remarkable sexual dimorphism both in …

The present work was conducted to describe the mating behaviour and embryonic
development of the marine ornamental shrimp Stenopus hispidus. Twenty adult Stenopus …

We analyzed the social structure, sexual dimorphism and relative growth in the burrowing
shrimp Callichirus seilacheri from the tropical eastern Pacific. To this end, 456 individuals of …

Reproduction and reproductive investment of females is an intriguing feature in axiidean
shrimps. They have a cryptic behavior and great ecological importance in sediment turnover …

Globally, there is limited knowledge about management and conservation of Callianassidae
family. Their catches seem to be recently increasing in several parts of the world and …

In this report, I review the taxonomic history, body adaptations, ecology, and reproduction of
the infraorders Axiidea (ghost shrimps) and Gebiidea (mud lobsters). Known until recently as …

This review is devoted to the different aspects of biology of burrowing shrimp of the
infraorders Gebiidea and Axiidea (Crustacea: Decapoda). Information on their taxonomy …
