Close heterospecific associations are ubiquitous in most if not all biotic communities. These
associations vary widely in character, and can include a wide range of morphological …

The pea crabs, superfamily Pinnotheroidea, are exceptional among brachyuran crabs in
their diverse symbiotic associations involving both inquilinism and protective symbiosis …

This study aimed to investigate some key aspects of the reproductive strategy of Ocypode
rotundata Miers, 1882 from southwest beaches of Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf, Iran, by …

Sestrostoma toriumii (Varunidae) is a symbiotic brachyuran crab that uses the burrows of the
mud shrimp Upogebia yokoyai (Upogebiidae) in tidal flats along the coasts of Japan, Korea …

The mating systems of symbiotic crustaceans vary broadly, ranging from monogamy to
polygamy to promiscuity. This disparity in mating systems coupled with wide differences in …

Brachyuran crabs of the family Pinnotheridae have a phylogenetic history linked to a
symbiotic lifestyle. Here, we examined the host-use pattern (ie social organisation), sex ratio …

The peacock-tail shrimp Ancylocaris brevicarpalis Schenkel, 1902, is an obligate symbiont
of sea anemones and well known for its remarkable colouration. Yet, very little information is …

The aim of the present study is to test the resource economic monopolization hypothesis and
the hypothesis of monogamy using the shrimp Alpheus estuariensis as a model. The …

Brachyuran crabs of the family Pinnotheridae De Haan are a classic example of symbiotic
lifestyle. Here, we described the host‐use pattern, relative growth and sexual dimorphism of …

Connectivity is paramount for population stability, but the mechanisms underlying the
distribution of populated patches and how they affect reproductive connectivity and …
