The approach taken in this chapter stresses the broader functional aspects of brachyuran
morphology and anatomy, and particularly how complex patterns of evolution have allowed …

La croissance et la maturation des stades postlarvaires du mâle du crabe des neiges
(Chionoecetes opilio) dans une population exploitée du golfe du Saint-Laurent ont été …

This paper reviews existing studies on the size of sexual maturity for male Tanner or snow
crab (Chionoecetes bairdi), a brachyuran, and the anomuran red king crab (Paralithodes …

This paper deals with sperm competition in the Brachyura and its implications for male
mating behavior. Females of all brachyuran species possess sperm storage organs, of …

The structure and function of the reproductive tracts of the spider crab Inachus phalangium
were investigated, focusing on sperm transfer, sperm storage in the seminal receptacles …

We review the three major reproductive pathways displayed by snow crab, Chionoecetes
opilio. Females can copulate in either a soft-or hard-shelled condition and also fertilize eggs …

The origins and evolution of sperm storage in Brachyura are enigmatic: sperm is either
stored in seminal receptacles, accessible via the vulvae on the sixth thoracic sternite, or in …

[en] The computer code FISSION II predicts fission product behaviour in containment
following a LOCA. The models involved simulate both natural and engineered processes …

Brachyuran crabs are sexually dimorphic, gonochoristic crustaceans (separate sexes, no
sex change). Dimorphism is expressed in the shape of the pleon (abdomen) and its …

Sperm and spermatophore production in Callinectes danae Smith, 1869 were examined by
histochemistry and correlated with gonadosomatic (GSI) and hepatosomatic (HSI) indices …
