Ecological View of Limb Regeneration in the Mangrove Crab Goniopsis Cruentata (latreille 1803) (crustacea: Brachyura: Grapsidae), Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil
Studies focusing regeneration are incomplete without considering autotomy (Maginnis 2006). According to this author, autotomy is the process of limb loss, allowing multiple benefits to an organism (the most prevalent is predator avoidance), commonly improving the immediate survivorship. Factors such as contact with toxins and pesticides, long limbs stuck in crevasses during foraging, crabs harv...

متن کاملCyrtograpsus angulatus Brachyura: Grapsidae
The grapsid crabs Chasmagnathus granulata and Cyrtograpsus angulatus are considered as key species within the benthic communities of estuaries and brackish coastal lagoons in the southwestern Atlantic region. In controlled laboratory experiments, we studied the intensity of interspecific predation as well as intraand intercohort cannibalism in setllers in relation to refuge Ž . availability, pr...
متن کاملBreeding period in the mangrove crab Goniopsis cruentata (Decapoda: Grapsidae) in Northeast Brazil.
The brachyuran crabs are iteroparous species which present a high diversification of reproduction patterns, which may have evolved as a species-specific response to environmental conditions. Tropical species commonly present a year-round reproduction due to stable environment conditions. Goniopsis cruentata is a crab species widely distributed along the Western Atlantic, inhabiting practically ...
متن کاملOntogeny of osmoregulation and salinity tolerance in a mangrove crab, Sesarma curacaoense (Decapoda: Grapsidae).
The grapsid crab Sesarma curacaoense is believed to represent the closest saltwater relative to the ancestor which gave rise to an adaptive radiation of endemic freshwater and terrestrial species on the island of Jamaica. Living in mangrove swamps with variable salinity conditions and showing semiterrestrial behaviour, S. curacaoense exhibits ecological adaptations to non-marine conditions. In ...
