Popis: Decapods are the most recognizable of all crustaceans and comprise a dominant group of benthic invertebrates of the continental shelf and slope, including many species of economic importance. Of the 17635 morphologically described Decapoda species, only 5.4% are represented by COI barcode region sequences. It therefore remains a challenge to compile regional databases that identify and analyse the extent and patterns of decapod diversity throughout the world.
The Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (Portugal) provided a doctoral fellowship (SFRH/BD/25568/2006) to Joana Matzen da Silva.
