We present the first global assessment of extinction risk for a major group of freshwater
invertebrates, caridean shrimps. The risk of extinction for all 763 species was assessed …

The present study is the first major assessment of the marine decapod fauna of Ceará,
northeastern Brazil, since contributions of J. Fausto-Filho in the 1960s–1970s. A fully …

During the past decade, a large number of multi-gene analyses aimed at resolving the
phylogenetic relationships within Decapoda. However relationships among families, and …

The deep-sea environment is characterized by extreme and inhospitable conditions,
including oxygen depletion, low temperatures, high pressure, absence of light, and limited …

In recent years the systematic position of genera in the shrimp families Gnathophyllidae and
Hymenoceridae has been under debate, with phylogenetic studies suggesting the families …

In caridean shrimps, sexual systems vary from gonochorism to various forms of
hermaphroditism. The shrimp Salmoneus carvachoi has been reported to exhibit both male …

One of the systematically controversial superfamilies in Caridea is the predominately deep-
sea or cold water Pandaloidea, largely because this species-rich group of nearly 200 …

Understanding the processes that shaped the strikingly irregular distribution of species
richness across the Tree of Life is a major research agenda. Changes in ecology may go …

Freshwater shrimp are a rich species group, with a long and problematic taxonomic history
attributed to their wide distribution and similar morphological characteristics. Shrimp …

A checklist of caridean and stenopodidean shrimps of the Caribbean coast of Panama is
presented, based on material collected during two local workshops (2005, 2008) as well as …
