The reproductive cycle of Callinectes danae Smith, 1869 (Decapoda, Portunidae) in the Ubatuba Region, Brazil
TLDR
The reproductive cycle of this species was studied based on their moult cycle and the development of their gonads, evidenced by the presence of ovigerous females with ovaries in all the development phases.

Comparative analysis of the relative growth of Uca rapax (Smith) (Crustacea, Ocypodidae) from two mangroves in São Paulo, Brazil
TLDR
A study on the relative growth of two populations of Uca rapax was performed primarily to determine the size at onset sexual maturity, finding positive allometric growth of females abdominal width is likely related to the incubation process, while positively allometry growth of male's cheliped almost certainly relates to reproductive behaviour.

Reproduction and recruitment of the South American red shrimp, Pleoticus muelleri (Crustacea: Solenoceridae), from the southeastern coast of Brazil
TLDR
Investigation of reproduction, recruitment, and size at sexual maturity of the shrimp P. muelleri off the coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, suggest that the main reproductive months extend from late spring to early summer, and the hypothesis of the intrusion of the South Atlantic Central Water mass suggests that this species has a continuous reproductive pattern.

ALLOMETRIC GROWTH IN THE FIDDLER CRAB UCA THAYERI (BRACHYURA, OCYPODIDAE) FROM A SUBTROPICAL MANGROVE
TLDR
Remarkable ontogenetic changes were observed in the allometric growth of the male major cheliped and the female abdomen, indicating that these structures are closely connected to the timing of sexual maturity.

Population biology of Uca maracoani Latreille 1802-1803 (Crustacea, Brachyura, Ocypodidae) on the south-eastern coast of Brazil
TLDR
The population biology of Uca maracoani was investigated in an estuarine mudflat in the Jabaquara River, Paraty, Brazil, where males predominated during most of the year, except in July and August when the proportion of females was higher.
On the population biology of the mottled shore crab Pachygrapsus transversus (Gibbes, 1850) (Brachyura, Grapsidae) in a subtropical area
TLDR
Annual size frequency distributions revealed clues of population stability and indicated that young individuals reach the adult habitat in a gradual process, and Ovigerous ratio shows a remarkable seasonality in which highest percentages of ovigerous females occur during summer months.
The megalopa and juvenile development of Pachygrapsus transversus (Gibbes‚ 1850)(Decapoda‚ Brachyura) compared with other grapsid crabs
TLDR
A review of the available information indicated that settlement of large megalopae and fast juvenile development, preceding a precocious sexual maturity, are trends in Grapsinae and Plagusiinae.
