A New Hypothesis of Decapod Phylogeny ANEWHYPOTHESIS OF DECAPODPHYLOGENY BY CHRISTOPHER J.DIXON 1/,SHANE T.AHYONG 2/ andFREDERICK R.SCHRAM 1,3/ 1/ Institutefor Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, University of Amsterdam, Mauritskade 57, NL-1092AD Amsterdam,Netherlands 2/ AustralianMuseum, 6 CollegeStreet, Sydney, NSW 2010,Australia ABSTRACT Acladisticanalysis based on external morphology was carried out on 60 taxa of decapod crustaceans.An analysis with unordered characters and one with ordered characters were both in agreementregarding the major relationships. The ordered analysis gave better resolution of more advancedclades, while the unordered analysis gave better resolution of more basal clades. None ofthe traditional groups Palinura, Anomura, and Macrura is monophyletic. A newclassi cation of decapodcrustaceans is proposed.Homarida and Astacida are closely related, as shownby theunique processon the ischium of their rstpereiopods. Glypheoidea forms the sister group to Astacura, withinan enlarged Astacidea. Achelata is the sister group to Meiura (Anomala + Brachyura)in a newclade, Eurysternalia, characterized by auniqueantennular morphology and by theeponymous widesternum of its members. Thalassinida emerge as the sister group to Eurysternalia, in a new clade,Sterropoda, characterized by fusionof the rstsegments of the thoracic limbs. The fractostern isinterpreted to beaeureptantfeature, and a possibleburrowing habitus is positedfor the ancestral Eureptantia.

INTRODUCTION Theorder Decapoda is aremarkablydiverse groupof malacostracans, bothmor- phologicallyand ecologically, and is agroupof great economicand environmental importance.Gruner et al. (1993)estimate 10,000species in the group,but actual numbersmay be at least half againas large.The relationships within the order havebeen the subject ofdebatefor decades; opinionsdiffered in the early years as to whichcharacter(s) shouldbe usedto classify decapods,be it tail length(from Linnaeusuntil Boas,1880), gill type(Huxley, 1878), number of chelae (Beurlen &Glaessner, 1930),or modeof locomotion (Boas, 1880). These sometimes sim- plistic approacheshave now been replaced by moreholistic methodsusing a wider variety ofcharacters. DeSaint Laurent(1979) believed that “les seuls critères dela morphologieexterne : : : nepermettront pas derésoudre [les] relations phylétiques entre les différentes lignées deDécapodes” , butwe wouldargue that whilst larval, spermatozoal,and other characters are useful,external morphologycan be enough to workout such relationships. Wewill nonetheless makereference to otherchar- acters andtheir agreementor disagreement with the scheme weproposebased on external morphology. Boas in his seminal workof 1880divided Decapoda into Natantia forthe swim- mingforms, and Reptantia forthe walkingforms. Although Reptantia is amono- phyletic group,Natantia appearsto beless valid andas longago as 1907,Bor- radaile suggestedthat Natantia was actually paraphyletic.Burkenroad (1963) - nally deconstructedNatantia, recognizingthat the three groupsof natant decapods are notclosely related. AmongReptantia, Boas recognizedsix groups:Homari- dae,Loricata, Eryonidae, Thalassinidae, Anomala,and Brachyura. Although some names havechanged, all these groupsare generallyconceded to bemonophyletic (cf.Martin &Davis,2001). That belief will also betested bythis study. It is perhapsa shame that at the turnof the twentieth century,authors reverted to the oldersystem ofH. Milne Edwards(1834), dividing Reptantia into Palinura, Astacura,Anomura, and Brachyura, which have remained as traditional groups. Noneof the fourhas remainedunchallenged as amonophyletictaxon. Several authors(Abele, 1991; Forest &DeSaint Laurent,1989) have concluded that Palinura was untenableas agroup,and others haveconsidered the differences betweenThalassinida andAnomala (which collectively makeup Anomura)to be insurmountable(De Saint Laurent,1979; Martin &Abele,1986; Tudge, 1997). Scholtz &Richter (1995)separated the twoparts ofthe Astacura,and there has.

For over 140 years, convergent evolution of the crab-like body plan (with a wide and flattened shape, and a bent abdomen) at least five times in decapod crustaceans has been known as ‘carcinization’. The repeated loss of this body plan has been identified as ‘decarcinization’. We offer phylogenetic strategies to include poorly known groups, and direct evidence from fossils, that will resolve the pattern of crab evolution and the degree of phenotypic variation within crabs. Proposed ecological advantages of the crab body are summarized into a hypothesis of phenotypic integration suggesting correlated evolution of the carapace shape and abdomen. Our premise provides fertile ground for future studies of the genomic and developmental basis, and the predictability, of the crab-like body form.

J. Paul and J. M. Paul ABSTRACT: Growth observations were made for juvenile male golden king crabs Lithodes aequispinus with carapace lengths (CL) of 2 to 35 mm to improve our understanding of the recruitment process. Gravid females were captured in Prince William Sound, Alaska, and juveniles were reared in the laboratory at 3°–10°C to obtain information on growth per molt and intermolt duration. The equation describing the increase in CL for crabs 2 to 35 mm CL was: New CL mm = Initial CL (1.25) + 0.14; r2 = 0.99, n = 76. The average increase in CL after molting was 28% (SD = 8%), and the corresponding value for chela height (CH) was 33% (SD = 17%). The intermolt duration, in units of degree days, of crabs 2 to 35 mm CL was described by the equation: Intermolt Duration = Initial CL mm (16.32) + 259; r2 = 0.76.

  • An Overview of the Decapoda with Glossary and References
    January 2011 Christina Ball Royal BC Museum An Overview of the Decapoda With Glossary and References The arthropods (meaning jointed leg) are a phylum that includes, among others, the insects, spiders, horseshoe crabs and crustaceans. A few of the traits that arthropods are characterized by are; their jointed legs, a hard exoskeleton made of chitin and growth by the process of ecdysis (molting). The Crustacea are a group nested within the Arthropoda which includes the shrimp, crabs, krill, barnacles, beach hoppers and many others. The members of this group present a wide range of morphology and life history, but they do have some unifying characteristics. They are the only group of arthropods that have two pairs of antenna. The decapods (meaning ten-legged) are a group within the Crustacea and are the topic of this key. The decapods are primarily characterized by a well developed carapace and ten pereopods (walking legs). The higher-level taxonomic groups within the Decapoda are the Dendrobranchiata, Anomura, Brachyura, Caridea, Astacidea, Axiidea, Gebiidea, Palinura and Stenopodidea. However, two of these groups, the Palinura (spiny lobsters) and the Stenopodidea (coral shrimps), do not occur in British Columbia and are not dealt with in this key. The remaining groups covered by this key include the crabs, hermit crabs, shrimp, prawns, lobsters, crayfish, mud shrimp, ghost shrimp and others.

The collection consists of 26 species of 12 families. A new species of ethusid crab, Ethusina wakataka, is described and il- lustrated based on a male specimen from off Soma, Fukushima Prefecture, at depths of 1466̶1471 m. The new species can be distinguished from the known congeners primarily by the unique structure of the gonopods. The biogeography and the bathymetric distribution of the recorded species are briefl y discussed.
