The grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio, harbors a number of symbionts within its North American range. Here, we document the distribution and seasonality of 4 taxonomic groups that use P. pugio as a host in coastal Alabama. We conducted a regional surv

We describe techniques that enable the preservation of tissues from the rhizocephalan barnacle, Loxothylacus texanus, inside the body cavities of blue crab hosts, Callinectes sapidus, in a manner that minimizes the degradative activities of hepatopan
What constrains the geographic and host range of the rhizocephalan Loxothylacus texanus in the wild?

In the Gulf of Mexico, the rhizocephalan barnacle Loxothylacus texanus parasitizes members of the genus Callinectes. In the past, research has primarily focused on the interaction between L. texanus and its blue crab host Callinectes sapidus. Only re

It is known that the rhizocephalan barnacle Loxothylacus texanus infects the greater blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, in the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent waters, however, factors that affect the prevalence and distribution of this parasite, particularl

During July 1999, 172 crabs from Ubatuba Bay, Sao Paulo, Brazil, were examined from 4 families as follows: Portunidae, Arenaeus cribrarius, Callinectes danae, Callinectes ornatus, Charybdis hellerii, Portunus spinimanus, and Portunus spinicarpus; Cal

Populations of the greater blue crab Callinectes sapidus throughout the Gulf of Mexico, as far north as South Carolina, USA, are infected by the rhizocephalan barnacle Loxothylacus texanus. Larvae are non-feeding and have approximately 3 d from the o

D. M. Skinner was the first biologist to systematically investigate the effect of multiple limb autotomy on ecdysis in decapod crustaceans. She proposed the existence of (1) limb autotomy factor anecdysis (LAFan) which initiates precocious molting, a

We describe here some of the components of the exoskeleton of the decapod crustacean with emphasis on the constituent proteins, including both structural and enzymatic. All four layers, but particularly the inner three, of the exoskeletons of four br

Specimens of the mud crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii underwent ecdysis within 16 days following autotomy of six walking limbs from each, compared to a mean of 40 days for untreated controls. The second ecdysis following autotomy also occurred sooner th

Several integumentary tissues of brachyuran crabs separate from the exoskeleton (undergo apolysis) when exposed to low temperatures (0°C) for one hour or longer. Apolysis did not occur in crabs held at room temperature for the same length of time fo
