- S. D. Grave, N. Pentcheff, R. Wetzer
- Environmental Science, Geography
- 15 September 2009
This compilation is the first comprehensive estimate of taxonomic diversity within the entire Decapoda, listing all known families and genera organized by higher taxonomic groups and including estimates of the number of species in every genus.
REVISION OF THE AMERICAN CALLIANASSIDAE (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: THALASSINIDEA)

This study began as an attempt to con- heterogeneous assemblage of taxa that did not reflect major differences in morphology American callianassids by examining po- and biology in its members by examining their members.
Ecological and economic implications of a tropical jellyfish invader in the Gulf of Mexico

A large population of a previously unreported jellyfish occurred across the northern Gulf of Mexico (USA) from May through September of 2000. The jellyfish, identified as Phyllorhiza punctata by von…
A comprehensive and integrative reconstruction of evolutionary history for Anomura (Crustacea: Decapoda)
- H. Bracken-Grissom, Maren E. Cannon, K. Crandall
- BiologyBMC Evolutionary Biology
- 20 June 2013
This work reconstructs the evolutionary history—phylogeny, divergence times, character evolution and diversification— of this speciose clade of Anomura, and suggests that the acquisition of a crab-like form did not act as a key innovation.
The Decapod Tree of Life: Compiling the Data and Moving toward a Consensus of Decapod Evolution
- Eather D. Bracken, A. Toon, K. Crandall
- Biology
- 17 June 2009
A molecular phylogeny for the order Decapoda is presented, combining nuclear and mitochondrial sequences, to investigate relationships among nine pleocyemate infraorders, one dendrobranchiate superfamily, 56 families, 113 genera, and 128 species, and discusses current and new hypotheses of decapod relationships.
GLYPTOGRAPSIDAE, A NEW BRACHYURAN FAMILY FROM CENTRAL AMERICA: LARVAL AND ADULT MORPHOLOGY, AND A MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF THE GRAPSOIDEA
- C. Schubart, J. Cuesta, D. Felder
- Biology
- 2002
A molecular phylogeny of the Grapsoidea, based on 16S mtDNA and including type genera of the five recognized families, confirms that the species of Glyptograpsus and Platychirograpsu together form a well-defined monophyletic unit that is distinct from all other taxa within the Grapevine.
Molecular phylogeny, taxonomy, and evolution of nonmarine lineages within the American grapsoid crabs (Crustacea: brachyura).
- C. Schubart, J. Cuesta, R. Diesel, D. Felder
- BiologyMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
- 1 May 2000
To resolve phylogenetic relationships among these highly adaptive crabs, portions of the mitochondrial genome corresponding to the 16S rRNA gene were sequenced for all grapsoid genera occurring in America and the resulting phylogeny confirms most of the present grapsid subfamilies but suggests reclassification of some of the genera and recognition of new taxonomic units.
Phylogeny of the Infraorder Caridea Based on Mitochondrial and Nuclear Genes (Crustacea: Decapoda)
- Joel W. Martin, K. Crandall, D. Felder
- Biology
- 2009
The first comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the infraorder Caridea is presented, combining nuclear and mitochondrial gene sequences, to evaluate the relationships among 14 superfamilies and 30 families and suggests polyphyletic and paraphyletic relationships among genera within the families Atyidae, Pasiphaeidae, Oplophoridae, Hippolytidae, Gnathophyllidae, and Palaemonidae.
Infraorders Axiidea de Saint Laurent, 1979 and Gebiidea de Saint Laurent, 1979 (formerly known collectively as Thalassinidea)
- P. Dworschak, D. Felder, C. Tudge
- Biology
- 2012
While a large body of literature refers to many aspects of larval life histories in Thalassinideans, the focal subjects, scope, and quality vary widely, and taxonomic coverage of the group is not comprehensive.
Burrow distributions and population estimates for the fiddler crabsUca spinicarpa andUca longisignalis in a Gulf of Mexico salt marsh
- Edmond C. Mouton, D. Felder
- Environmental Science
- 1 March 1996
Field observations and laboratory soil-choice tests demonstrated that, in mixed populations, U. spinicarpa preferred to burrow in substrates of higher percent clay than did U. longisignalis.
