size at sexual maturity and patterns of somatic growth are important aspects of reproductive history of crab. the main purpose of this study is to provide an estimate for the onset of morphological sexual maturity in mangrove crab, opusia indica from a population located in korangi creek intertidal mud flat (karachi, pakistan) based on relative growth. the crabs were monthly collected through q...

The detailed study on the morphological variation of male and female thrips was conducted under Stereo Binocular Microscope at R.B.S. College, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. The Study revealed that in male antennae 338-345μm long and individual segment measure length (width)20(26), 50(32), 70(23), 62(22), 45(20), 43(19), 14(8), 21(5) and 18(4)μm. While in female Measurement of individual antennal ...

Due to a production error, Figure 2 legend was not updated during proof editing. The legend should read: FIGURE 2 | Morphometrical measurements and abbreviations used in this study. Photograph is of Carausius morosus, which is representative of the morphology of all species examined here. AL, abdomen length; FLL, forelimb length; HFL, hind femur length; HL, head length; HW, head width; MT, midd...

The relative growth of a number of morphological dimensions of the South American freshwater crab Trichodactylusborellianus (Trichodactylidae) were compared and related to sexual dimorphism. Crabs were collected from ponds in the Middle Paraná River in Argentina. A regression model with segmented relationship was used to test for relative growth between these measurements where breakpoints infe...

The egg and five nymphal stages, of the Neotropical species Martarega lofoides are described and illustrated for the first time. The immature stages are very similar, differing mainly in the body length, width of the body, head and pronotum, degree of wing pads development, synthlipsis width, and pattern of setae on the ventral abdomen. Adults and nymphs used in this study were collected from t...

The relative growth of the fiddler crab Uca sindensis in Pohl Port was studied. Ten 0.5 m2 quadrates were randomly sampled monthly during low tide periods from October 2009 to September 2010. A total of 840 crabs, 449 (53.45%) males and 391(46.5%) ‌ females, were sampled. The Carapace width of males ranged from 5.5 to13.5 mm (mean ± SD) (8.92 ± 2.04), and of females from 5.0 to 11.5 mm (mean ± ...
