   Influence of salinity and temperature on the larval development of the crown crab, Hymenosoma orbiculare (Crustacea: Brachyura: Hymenosomatidae)

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: Isabelle Papadopoulos BrentK Newman DaveS Schoeman TrisH Wooldridge

   Although the crab Hymenosoma orbiculare appears to complete its entire life cycle within estuaries, the salinity and temperature requirements for its successful larval development are not known. The present study therefore evaluated larval response to salinity and temperature in combination...

   Larval development reflects biogeography in two formerly synonymised southern African coastal crabs

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: I Papadopoulos --- Molecular Zoology Laboratory (Aquatic Division), Department of Zoology, South Africa PR Teske --- Molecular Zoology Laboratory (Aquatic Division), Department of Zoology, South Africa

   The southern African crab Hymenosoma orbiculare was recently split into five distinct species, of which three are estuarine/coastal and have peripatric distributions that are linked to temperature-defined marine bioregions. This suggests that the species’ ranges may be limited by physiological...
