Topic: Majoidea


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  The Stachowicz Lab
  Decorator crabs (Brachyura: Majoidea) attach algae and/or marine invertebrates to various portions of their carapace using hooked setae.
In the Epialtidae family (kelp crabs), some species with few hooks decorate little and instead are thought to use a form of color camouflage.
The diversity of camouflage strategies in the Majoidea superfamily makes them an ideal group with which to investigate the ecology and evolution of camouflage strategies.

The Hymenosomatidae and Inachoididae are hypothesized to be closely related, giving renewed force to the old idea that the "false spider crabs" are closer to the Majoidea than to any other group.

Brachyuran crabs dominate the community: 19 spider crabs (Majoidea), 22 Xanthidae and 8 Grapsidae make the bulk of the true crabs community, which also includes Aethra scutata and Cronius ruber, the latter an uncommon species for this habitat.
Fifty-three families of benthic decapod crustaceans (including the Majoidea sensu Drach and Guinot 1983, and the Pandalidae sensu lato, not sensu Christoffersen 1989) are known to include southern Sinaloa in their distribution range.
Specimens of all these families were collected during this study, and as many as 32 were represented in samples by all known species, thus providing a 100 % collecting rate considering the number of species reported for the area by Hendrickx (1990, 1993b).

Latreillia sp., considered an homoloid by GUINOT (1978) and GUINOT and RICHER DE FORGES (1995), forms a polytomy either with Homolidae+Raninoidea-Cyclodorippoidea with the combined, spermatozoal and non-spermatozoal, data set or with Homolidae+Dromiidae-Dynomenidae-Homolodromiidae, for sperm data only.
The association by GUINOT (1978) of the Dorippoidea, Portunoidea, Xanthoidea, and Majoidea in the non-thoracotreme Heterotremata is fully supported spermatologically.
Spermatozoal data give majids the most basal position in the Heterotremata whereas for the combined data Neodorippe (with carrying behaviour, like most podotremes) appears the least modified member of the heterotreme-thoracotreme assemblage.
