This project was motivated by different fronts. Among them, the picture reported in the introduction, with a high lack of up-to-date information and Brazilian specialists dedicated to the use of molecular taxonomy in decapod crustaceans. Furthermore, the approach to marine and freshwater decapods contemplates the demand of students of different levels who were/are being incorporated into …
In an unprecedented way, we propose to carry out a broad, diversified and rigorous taxonomic analysis on the Brazilian biodiversity of marine, estuarine and freshwater decapod crustaceans. This initiative aims to answer important questions about the species that make up this taxon and topics considered key to the understanding of its biodiversity, such as: life cycle, biogeographic patter…

It's reconsideration request about the negative decision coming by FAPESP to the Plan of Use of RT Institutional FFCLRP. The amount to be received by FFCLRP USP (US $ 211,128.00) will be applied "within the rules and criteria set forth by own advisor in its opinion": ITEM I - COLLECTIVE MANAGEMENT: support and enhancement of collective infrastructure to support research which will be reti…

The genus Aegla is the only taxon among the Decapoda Anomura crustaceans found exclusively in continental waters of South America. They are extremely endangered organisms, as most species have a restricted distribution, with a high degree of endemism and inhabiting areas with a high degree of preservation. Thus, it is necessary to expand attention to species with wide distribution since p…
The family Pinnotheridae is composed of small marine crabs that possess commensal relationships with other animals such as annelids, mollusks, echinoderms, and even other decapods. Due to the small size and great morphological similarity between the species of the group, which causes conflicts when it comes to identification and species delimitation, the family still possesses several tax…
Patterns and processes that explain the genetic diversity of organisms are topics that intrigue Evolutionary Biology. One issue that can be flagged is what factors regulate genetic diversity among different species. This issue still lacks a greater amount of empirical data, especially in relation to the marine environment. Thus, studies that use comparative methods and with a greater numb…
Studies on intraspecific variability have shown different degrees of geographic structure and intraspecific genetic variation among populations of some marine species, including decapod crustaceans distributed along the Western Atlantic Ocean. In some cases, those findings have even provided strong support for the recognition of cryptic species. The hermit crab Clibanarius antillensis is …
Pyromaia tuberculata is a native crab from northeastern Pacific Ocean, naturally occurring from the San Francisco Bay, California to southern Chile. These animals, which are usually found hidden under stones or amongst fouling organisms, are also reported in the western Pacific Ocean, in areas from Japan, Korea, Australia and New Zealand. In the western Atlantic this species is recorded f…

Phylogeography has witnessed significant gains recently because of improvement in DNA sequencing technologies. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can increase the amount of information generating huge data sets helping us to understand ecology and evolution of non-model species. Phylogeographical patterns in marine realm is affected by several abiotic and biotic factor. Dispersal potential …
Mangroves are ecosystems that represent unique morphological and physiological characteristics in which species form population structures that follow the one-dimensional stepping-stone model. This structure allows us to infer that these systems are discrete and isolated habitats, indicating limited gene flow among the populations of the species that inhabit them. Studies on population st…
The swimming crab species Chaybdis hellerii is native from Indo-West Pacific. In 1924-1925, it was first recorded for the Mediterranean Sea. This invasion is associated with the Suez Canal opening. Later on, in 1987, it was first reported in the western Atlantic (Cuba). Since then, it has been documented for many regions along the American coast, from USA to the Southern coast of Brazil, …
