The present work deals with the prey preference of the large stone crab Platyxanthus crenulatus among similar sized gastropods and bivalves of different substrates using a recent proposed methodology based on a two-stage approach. In laboratory, crabs received different mollusk species separately to determine the consumption in number of each species when choice was not possible. Further, crabs were offered the same mollusc species but together to record differences of specific consumption when choice was possible. Results were then compared to assess prey preferences. Platyxanthus crenulatus is able to effectively attack and consume the majority of the sympatric mollusk species, although preferred the dominant species Brachidontes rodriguezii over the others. Such preference seems to be driven by shell shape and thickness which may be a common pattern in prey preference among large stone crab species. Key words: bivalves, gastropods, South-western Atlantic, trophic behavior, xanthids INTRODUCTION patterns are influenced by intrinsic features The distribution and abundance of a consumer of prey and its interaction with the predator can be explained largely by the distribution (Underwood et al., 2004) rather than predator and abundance of the resources it uses and choice along. vice versa (Begon et al., 1996). However, In this sense, many different definitions most predators do not consume prey items and experimental designs have been suggested in proportion to their abundance, but select and used to test preference (Johnson, 1980; particular sizes and/or types of prey (Micheli, Newman et al., 2010; Saunders et al., 2012), 1995), generating non random associations. but there is certainly a consensus that it is Such associations are often explained essential to clarify the used definition before as a direct consequence of the preference for starting to work (Taplin, 2007). A relatively a particular prey (Underwood et al., 2004). new point of view has been developed by Nevertheless the concept of preference implies some authors (Singer, 2000; Underwood et al., the existence of active behavioral choice 2004). Singer (2000) stated that preference (Singer, 2000). Furthermore, consumption depends exclusively on predator and implies c Published by Brazilian Crustacean Society, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil - July 2013 18 Laitano et al.: Stone crab prey preference some predator own behavior.

  • Larval Growth
    LARVAL GROWTH Edited by ADRIAN M.WENNER University of California, Santa Barbara OFFPRINT A.A.BALKEMA/ROTTERDAM/BOSTON DARRYL L.FELDER* / JOEL W.MARTIN** / JOSEPH W.GOY* * Department of Biology, University of Louisiana, Lafayette, USA ** Department of Biological Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, USA PATTERNS IN EARLY POSTLARVAL DEVELOPMENT OF DECAPODS ABSTRACT Early postlarval stages may differ from larval and adult phases of the life cycle in such characteristics as body size, morphology, molting frequency, growth rate, nutrient require­ ments, behavior, and habitat. Primarily by way of recent studies, information on these quaUties in early postlarvae has begun to accrue, information which has not been previously summarized. The change in form (metamorphosis) that occurs between larval and postlarval life is pronounced in some decapod groups but subtle in others. However, in almost all the Deca- poda, some ontogenetic changes in locomotion, feeding, and habitat coincide with meta­ morphosis and early postlarval growth. The postmetamorphic (first postlarval) stage, here­ in termed the decapodid, is often a particularly modified transitional stage; terms such as glaucothoe, puerulus, and megalopa have been applied to it. The postlarval stages that fol­ low the decapodid successively approach more closely the adult form. Morphogenesis of skeletal and other superficial features is particularly apparent at each molt, but histogenesis and organogenesis in early postlarvae is appreciable within intermolt periods. Except for the development of primary and secondary sexual organs, postmetamorphic change in internal anatomy is most pronounced in the first several postlarval instars, with the degree of anatomical reorganization and development decreasing in each of the later juvenile molts.

By MARY J. RATHBUN, Assistant Curator, Division of Marine Invertebrates, U. S. National Museum. INTKODUCTION. Among the collections obtained by Dr. Robert E. Coker during his investigations of the fishery resources of Peru during 1906-1908 were a large number of Crustacea, representing 80 species. It was the original intention to publish the reports on the Crustacea under one cover, but as it has not been feasible to complete them at the same time, the accounts of the barnacles a and isopods b have been issued first. There remain the decapods, which comprise the bulk of the collection, the stomatopods, and two species of amphipods. One of these, inhabiting the sea-coast, has been determined by Mr. Alfred O. Walker; the other, from Lake Titicaca, by Miss Ada L. Weckel. See papers immediately following. Throughout this paper, the notes printed in smaller type were con­ tributed by Doctor Coker. One set of specimens has been returned to the Peruvian Government; the other has been given to the United States National Museum. Economic value.—The west coast of South America supports an unusual number of species of large crabs, which form an important article of food.

E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract During recent studies of phylogenetic relationships within Eriphioidea (sensu Ng et al. 2008), we recovered molecular evidence that the genus Platyxanthus A. Milne-Edwards, 1863, was not monophyletic. This prompted detailed morphological examination of the group, which confirmed that clear differences in characteristics of the carapace, first male pleopod, antennae, antennules, epistome, abdomen, and thoracic sternum serve to separate the species of Platyxanthus into three distinct groups. Comparison of the type material of Peloeus cokeri (Rathbun, 1930), (formerly Platyxanthus cokeri) to Peloeus armatus Eydoux & Souleyet, 1842, indicated that P. cokeri is a junior synonym of P. armatus and that Gordonoxanthus Števčić, 2011 (type species Platyxanthus cokeri Rathbun, 1930) is thus a junior synonym of Peloeus. Danielethus n. gen. is described to accommodate Platyxanthus patagonicus A. Milne-Edwards, 1863, and Platyxanthus crenulatus A. Milne-Edwards, 1863.

MARTIN Made in United States of America Reprinted from BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE Vol, 34, No. 2, March 1984 1984 by the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science of the University of Miami BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 34(2): 220-239, 1984 NOTES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE LARVAE OF XANTHID CRABS, WITH A KEY TO THE KNOWN XANTHID ZOEAS' OF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND GULF OF MEXICO Joel W. Martin ABSTRACT The known xanthid crab zoeas can be assigned to six groups, based primarily upon mor­ phology of the antennal exopod. A brief description of each group is given, and a table listing all known zoeas in each group is presented. The abbreviated number of zoeal stages in some xanthid species seems not attributable solely to restricted environments; however, no alter­ native reason for abbreviated development in xanthids is known. A key is given for identi­ fication of 22 xanthid zoeas in the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for which descriptions are available, and a bibliography of all known descriptions of xanthid larvae is included. The first published mention of a larval stage belonging to the brachyuran family Xanthidae MacLeay, 1838, is a short communication by J. Vaughn Thompson (1836). In this paper, Thompson noted that the larval stages of the genus Eriphia Latreille, 1817 and other brachyuran genera corresponded to the genus Zoea of earlier workers. Since that time, the larvae of crabs of the family Xanthidae {sensu lato, not sensu Guinot, 1978) have received a considerable amount of attention.

    Bulletin of the Mizunami Fossil Museum, no. 32 (2005), p. 53-85, 4 pls., figs. © 2005, Mizunami Fossil Museum Neogene and Quatenary crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda) collected from Costa Rica and Panama by members of the Panama Paleontology Project Jonathan A. Todd 1 and Joe S. H. Collins 1,2 1 Department of Palaeontology, The Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD, UK 2 8 Shaw’s Cottages, Perry Rise, London, SE23 2QN, UK Abstract Crabs of Middle Miocene to Early Pleistocene age collected by members of the Panama Paleontology Project are described from the (Caribbean) Southern Limón Basin of Costa Rica and the Canal and Bocas del Toro basins of Panama, the (Isthmian) Chucunaque-Tuira Basin of Panama, and the (East Pacific) Osa-Burica, Parrita and Tempisque basins of Costa Rica. Thirty taxa are identified to species level, of which 25 are described in detail. Of these twelve species are new: Ctenocheles falciformis sp. nov., Dardanus biordines sp. nov., Hepatus biformis sp. nov., Hepatus lineatinus sp. nov., Thoe asperoides sp. nov., Platylambrus spinulatus sp. nov., Speleophorus subcir- cularis sp. nov., Persephona enigmatica sp. nov., Persephona manningi sp. nov., Iliacantha panamanica sp. nov., Euphylax maculatus sp. nov., Lophopanopeus maculoides sp. nov. Two new combinations are proposed; Glypturus toulai nov. comb. for Callianassa toulai Rathbun, 1919a, and Neocallichirus scotti nov. comb. for Callianassa scot- ti Brown and Pilsbry, 1913. A lectotype is designated for Callianassa toulai Rathbun, 1919a. As well as allowing description of new species, the new material includes the first fossil records of the extant genus Speleophorus and the extant species, albeit tentatively identified, Raninoides benedicti Rathbun, 1935a and Panopeus chilensis A.
