It is suggested that the barnacles have evolved a sexual specialization in the form of these complemental males that can more efficiently use the constrained habitats that these barnacles often experience.

Evidence is reported of widespread and ancient androdioecy in crustaceans in the genus Eulimnadia, based on observations of over 33 000 shrimp from 36 locations from every continent except Antarctica, that has persisted for 24–180 million years and has been maintained through multiple speciation events.

Inbreeding markedly reduces sperm production in inbred relative to outcrossed males, and can explain both the low average outcrossing rates as well as the variation in these rates reported in previous studies of these crustaceans.
Multiple hatching events in clam shrimp: Implications for mate guarding behaviour and community ecology
- C. Benvenuto, A. Calabrese, S. K. Reed, B. Knott

The occurrence of multiple hatching events is reported, their role as a secondary form of bet-hedging is discussed, and the implications for mating behaviour and community dynamics are speculated on.

This work explores the phylogenetic relationships of 19 Eulimnadia species and assess previously proposed synonymies of E. diversa based on egg shell morphology, and concludes that a large amount of polyphyly exists for species identified via morphology.
Taxonomy and biogeography of the freshwater crabs of Tanzania, East Africa

Key to species of Potamonautes from Tanzania and key to families and genera of freshwater crabs of Tanzania are revealed.
Production of intersexes and the evolution of androdioecy in the clam shrimp Eulimnadia texana (Crustacea, Branchiopoda, Spinicaudata)
- S. Weeks, S. K. Reed, M. Cesari, F. Scanabissi
- Biology
- 1 January 2006
It is suggested that the low-level production of intersexes, combined with the ephemeral nature of the habitats occupied by these shrimp, may explain the preponderance of androdioecy (mixtures of males and hermaphrodites) found in these clam shrimp, and possibly branchiopods more generally.
Distribution patterns of the Malagasy freshwater crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura)

Overlaps in the distribution patterns of taxa indicate that there are centres of endemism (biodiversity hotspots) for freshwater crabs in the north-west lowland coastal region of Antsiranana Province in northern Madagascar.
A comparison of two methods for sampling the Gulf of California mud shrimp, Neotrypaea uncinata (Crustacea: Thalassinidea)

- 1 August 2003
Compared to the kiwi method, the coring method generates more animals, is less destructive of mud shrimp habitat, and provides more detailed information on mud shrimp populations.
