Gecarcinus Nobilii Live B
''Gecarcinus'' is the type genus of the land crab family Gecarcinidae. They are found in warmer coastal regions of the Americas, including islands in the Caribbean. Four species from oceanic islands were formerly included in ''Gecarcinus'' as the subgenus ''Johngarthia'', but are now treated as a separate genus, ''Johngarthia''. While all members of this genus are largely terrestrial, they have to return to the ocean to breed (the larvae A larva (; plural larvae ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into adults. Animals with indirect development such as insects, amphibians, or cnidarians typically have a larval phase of their life cycle. The ... are released into the sea). They are often colourful, with reddish, orange, purple, yellowish, whitish, or blackish being the dominating hues. This has resulted in some species, notably ''G. quadratus'' and ''G. lateralis'', gaining a level of popularity in the pet trade. Species References ...

Gecarcinus Quadratus
''Gecarcinus quadratus'', known as the red land crab, whitespot crab, Halloween crab, moon crab, Halloween moon crab, mouthless crab, or harlequin land crab, is a colourful land crab from the family Gecarcinidae. Distribution ''Gecarcinus quadratus'' is found in mangrove, sand dunes, and rainforests along the Pacific coast from Mexico south to Panama. Previously it has also been reported from the Pacific coast of northwestern South America, but in 2014 this population was recognized as a separate species, '' G. nobili''. The taxonomy in relation to the Atlantic '' G. lateralis'' is disputed, with many considering ''G. quadratus'' and ''G. lateralis'' to be conspecific. Description The carapace of ''G. quadratus'' may reach a length of . It has a pair of largely purple claws, red-orange legs, and an almost entirely black carapace with a pair of yellow, orange, or reddish spots behind the eyes, and an additional pair of whitish spots on the central-lower carapace.

Gecarcinus Nobilii
''Gecarcinus nobili'' is a species of land crab closely related to the halloween moon crab (''G. quadratus''). It was described in 2014. It is from the Neotropical Pacific coast of northwestern South America. Range and habitat ''G. nobilii'' is found along the South American Pacific coast, from Colombia to Peru. It inhabits the mangrove, tropical rainforest Tropical rainforests are rainforests that occur in areas of tropical rainforest climate in which there is no dry season – all months have an average precipitation of at least 60 mm – and may also be referred to as ''lowland equatori ... and other habitats that lines the coast. Behavior It behaves almost indistinguishably from its relative '' G. quadratus''. References * Grapsoidea Crustaceans described in 2014 {{crab-stub ...

Red And Black Land Crab
Red is the color at the long wavelength end of the visible spectrum of light, next to orange and opposite violet. It has a dominant wavelength of approximately 625–740 nanometres. It is a primary color in the RGB color model and a secondary color (made from magenta and yellow) in the CMYK color model, and is the complementary color of cyan. Reds range from the brilliant yellow-tinged scarlet and vermillion to bluish-red crimson, and vary in shade from the pale red pink to the dark red burgundy. Red pigment made from ochre was one of the first colors used in prehistoric art. The Ancient Egyptians and Mayans colored their faces red in ceremonies; Roman generals had their bodies colored red to celebrate victories. It was also an important color in China, where it was used to color early pottery and later the gates and walls of palaces. In the Renaissance, the brilliant red costumes for the nobility and wealthy were dyed with kermes and cochineal. The 19th century brought ...

Crab On Panamanian Beach 01
Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting "tail" (abdomen) ( el, βραχύς , translit=brachys = short, / = tail), usually hidden entirely under the thorax. They live in all the world's oceans, in freshwater, and on land, are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, and have a single pair of pincers. They first appeared during the Jurassic Period. Description Crabs are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, composed primarily of highly mineralized chitin, and armed with a pair of chelae (claws). Crabs vary in size from the pea crab, a few millimeters wide, to the Japanese spider crab, with a leg span up to . Several other groups of crustaceans with similar appearances – such as king crabs and porcelain crabs – are not true crabs, but have evolved features similar to true crabs through a process known as carcinisation. Environment Crabs are found in all of the world's oceans, as well as in fres ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gecarcinus Lateralis
''Gecarcinus lateralis'', also known by the common names blackback land crab, Bermuda land crab, red land crab (leading to easy confusion with ''Gecarcoidea natalis'') and moon crab (leading to easy confusion with '' G. quadratus'' and '' Cardisoma spp.''), is a colourful crab from the family Gecarcinidae. Distribution It is found along the Atlantic coast from South Padre Island, Texas south to Macuto, Venezuela. It also inhabits the Florida Keys and the islands of the Caribbean. Relatives The taxonomy in relations to the Pacific ''Gecarcinus quadratus'' is disputed, with many considering it and ''G. lateralis'' to be conspecific. Another closely related species, ''Gecarcinus ruricola'', occurs together with ''G. lateralis'' in the tropical western Atlantic, but its carapace is typically almost entirely blackish, dark maroon, purplish or yellowish. Description As suggested by the name blackback land crab, it has a large blackish spot, which, although the exact shape is variable ...

Crustacean Larvae
Crustaceans may pass through a number of larval and immature stages between hatching from their eggs and reaching their adult form. Each of the stages is separated by a moult, in which the hard exoskeleton is shed to allow the animal to grow. The larvae of crustaceans often bear little resemblance to the adult, and there are still cases where it is not known what larvae will grow into what adults. This is especially true of crustaceans which live as benthic adults (on the sea bed), more-so than where the larvae are planktonic, and thereby easily caught. Many crustacean larvae were not immediately recognised as larvae when they were discovered, and were described as new genera and species. The names of these genera have become generalised to cover specific larval stages across wide groups of crustaceans, such as ''zoea'' and ''nauplius''. Other terms described forms which are only found in particular groups, such as the ''glaucothoe'' of hermit crabs, or the ''phyllosoma'' of slippe ...

Terrestrial Animal
Terrestrial animals are animals that live predominantly or entirely on land (e.g. cats, dogs, ants, spiders), as compared with aquatic animals, which live predominantly or entirely in the water (e.g. fish, lobsters, octopuses), and amphibians, which rely on a combination of aquatic and terrestrial habitats (e.g. frogs and newts). Some groups of insects are terrestrial, such as ants, butterflies, earwigs, cockroaches, grasshoppers and many others, while other groups are partially aquatic, such as mosquitoes and dragonflies, which pass their larval stages in water. Terrestrial animals tend to be more developed and intelligent than aquatic animals. Terrestrial classes The term "terrestrial" is typically applied to species that live primarily on the ground, in contrast to arboreal species, which live primarily in trees. There are other less common terms that apply to specific groups of terrestrial animals: *Saxicolous creatures are rock dwelling. "Saxicolous" is derived from t ...

William Elford Leach
William Elford Leach Royal Society, FRS (2 February 1791 – 25 August 1836) was an English zoologist and marine biologist. Life and work Elford Leach was born at Hoe Gate, Plymouth, the son of an attorney. At the age of twelve he began a medical apprenticeship at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Devonshire and Exeter Hospital, studying anatomy and chemistry. By this time he was already collecting marine animals from Plymouth Sound and along the Devon coast. At seventeen he began studying medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London, finishing his training at the University of Edinburgh before graduating Doctor of Medicine, MD from the University of St Andrews (where he had never studied). From 1813 Leach concentrated on his zoological interests and was employed as an 'Assistant Librarian' (what would later be called Assistant Keeper) in the Natural History Museum, London, Natural History Department of the British Museum, where he had responsibility for the zoological ...
