About the Book

Decapod crustaceans are a particularly important animal group in a variety of aquatic environments, such as freshwater, estuaries, and oceans. Research on this group has increased during recent decades, and relates to their economic and ecological importance. The papers included reflect current trends in decapod crustacean research, and present results on a diversity of specific research fields, grouped into the major themes: a) Systematics, Phylogeny, and Biogeography, b) Growth, Morphology, and Development, c) Ecology and Behaviour, d) Reproduction, and e) Fisheries and Culture. The Colloquia Crustacea Decapoda Mediterranea are devoted to decapod crustacean research, and organised on a 3-year basis by institutions of the Mediterranean geographical area. The scope of these meetings has progressively widened throughout the sequence of events, and presently welcomes contributions from crustacean research world-wide.

Table of Contents:
Phylogeny of decapods: moving towards a consensus.- Notes on the position of the true freshwater crabs within the Brachyrhynchan Eubrachyura (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura).- Molecular phylogeny of the crab genus Brachynotus (Brachyura: Varunidae) based on the 16S rRNA gene.- Austinogebia, a new genus in the Upogebidae and rediagnosis of its close relative, Gebiacantha Ngoc-Ho, 1989 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Thalassinidea).- Recent samples of mainly rare decapod Crustacea taken from the deep-sea floor of the southern West Europe Basin.- Data on the family Pandalidae around the Canary Islands, with first record of Plesionika antigai (Caridea).- Crustacea Decapoda of Paripe River Estuary, Pernambuco, Brazil.- Intertidal habitats and decapod faunal assemblages (Crustacea: Decapoda) of Socotra Island, Republic of Yemen.- The crab species found on the coasts of Gökçeada (Imbroz) Island in the Aegean Sea.- Evidence of paraphyly in the neotropical Porcellanid genus Neopisosoma (Crustacea: Anomura: Porcellanidae) based on molecular characters.- Growth in Crustacea — twenty years on.- Sex-related variability of rostrum morphometry of Aristeus antennatus (Decapoda: Aristeidae) from the Ionian Sea (Eastern Mediterranean, Greece).- Influence of diet on sex differentiation of Hippolyte inermis Leach (Decapoda: Natantia) in the field.- Combined effects of temperature and salinity on the larval development of the estuarine mud prawn Upogebia africana (Crustacea, Thalassinidea).- Mitotic and meiotic chromosomes of the American lobster Homarus americanus (Nephropidae, Decapoda).- Larval abundance and recruitment of Carcinus maenas L. close to its southern geographic limit: a case of match and mismatch.- Choice of prey size and species in Carcinus maenas (L.) feeding on four bivalves ofcontrasting shell morphology.- Intertidal distribution and species composition of brachyuran crabs at two rocky shores in central Portugal.- Morphometric comparison between Mediterranean and Atlantic populations of Pontophilus norvegicus (Decapoda, Crangonidae).- Notes on the distribution and biology of the deep-sea crab Bathynectes maravigna (Brachyura: Portunidae) in the Mediterranean Sea.- Notes on the biology of Cancer bellianus (Brachyura, Cancridae) around the Canary Islands.- Comparative suitability of binocular observation, burrow counting and excavation for the quantification of the mangrove fiddler crab Uca annulipes (H.
