An adult female free-ranging six-banded armadillo (Euphractus sexcinctus) was presented with an inverted L-shaped fracture of the left pectoral carapace. The fracture was stabilized with the use of three simple interrupted ...

We compared the carapace shape and thickness as well as the energy density of Ovalipes trimaculatus inhabiting areas comprising a gradient of marine pollution: high, moderate and undetected, in the Nuevo gulf (Patagonia ...

Neocaridina davidi is a caridean shrimp that has gained popularity in recent years as an ornamental species. Using geometric morphometrics, we investigated sexual dimorphism in carapace and second abdominal segment shape ...

Coastal environmental pollution is a global problem that has been growing for decades. For this reason, different approaches have been sought to address and detect its environmental implications. Some organisms are considered ...

In populational studies, the weight/width carapace relationship analysis, can furnish indications about the individual physiological variations as a function of the environment, and it can indicate sexual dimorphism. The ...

The size-weight relationship of a species allows for estimating the expected weight based on size the present contribution aims at evaluating the body weight vs. carapace width relationship and the condition factor of the ...

Different environmental and sex conditions induce phenotypic responses (behavioural, morphological and physiological) in many species. The crab Cyrtograpsus angulatus inhabits contrasting intertidal habitats, such as ...
