Upogebiidae
Upogebiidae is a family of mud shrimp crustaceans belonging to the infraorder Gebiidea Gebiidea is an infraorder of decapod crustaceans. Gebiidea and Axiidea are divergent infraoders of the former infraorder Thalassinidea. These infraorders have converged ecologically and morphologically as burrowing forms.Dworschak, Peter C.

Gebiidea
Gebiidea is an infraorder of Decapoda, decapod crustaceans. Gebiidea and Axiidea are divergent infraoders of the former infraorder Thalassinidea. These infraorders have converged Ecology, ecologically and Morphology (biology), morphologically as burrowing forms.Dworschak, Peter C. (2012). ''Treatise on Zoology - Anatomy, Taxonomy, Biology. The Crustacea, Volume 9 Part B''. BRILL. pp. 109–100. . Based on molecular evidence as of 2009, it is now widely believed that these two infraorders represent two distinct lineages separate from one another. Since this is a recent change, much of the literature and research surrounding these infraorders still refers to the Axiidea and Gebiidea in combination as "thalassinidean" for the sake of clarity and reference. This division based on molecular evidence is consistent with the groupings proposed by Robert Gurney in 1938 based on larval developmental stages.Pohle, G. and Santana, W., Gebiidea and Axiidea (=Thalassinidea), in ''Atlas of Cru ...

Thalassinidea
Thalassinidea is a former infraorder of decapod crustaceans that live in burrows in muddy bottoms of the world's oceans. In Australian English, the littoral thalassinidean ''Trypaea australiensis'' is referred to as the ''yabby'' (a term which also refers to freshwater crayfish of the genus ''Cherax''), frequently used as bait for estuarine fishing; elsewhere, however, they are poorly known, and as such have few vernacular names, "mud lobster" and "ghost shrimp" counting among them. The burrows made by thalassinideans are frequently preserved, and the fossil record of thalassinideans reaches back to the late Jurassic. The group was abandoned when it became clear that it represented two separate lineages, now both recognised as infraorders: Gebiidea and Axiidea. Recent molecular analyses have shown that thalassinideans are most closely related to Brachyura (crabs) and Anomura (hermit crabs and their allies). There are believed to be 556 extant species of thalassinideans in 96 gene ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Decapoda
The Decapoda or decapods (literally "ten-footed") are an order of crustaceans within the class Malacostraca, including many familiar groups, such as crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp and prawns. Most decapods are scavengers. The order is estimated to contain nearly 15,000 species in around 2,700 genera, with around 3,300 fossil species. Nearly half of these species are crabs, with the shrimp (about 3,000 species) and Anomura including hermit crabs, porcelain crabs, squat lobsters (about 2500 species) making up the bulk of the remainder. The earliest fossil decapod is the Devonian ''Palaeopalaemon''. Anatomy Decapods can have as many as 38 appendages, arranged in one pair per body segment. As the name Decapoda (from the Greek , ', "ten", and , '' -pod'', "foot") implies, ten of these appendages are considered legs. They are the pereiopods, found on the last five thoracic segments. In many decapods, one pair of these "legs" has enlarged pincers, called chelae, with the legs be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Upogebia Deltaura
''Upogebia deltaura'' is a species of mud lobster from the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Description ''Upogebia deltaura'' is up to long, and is a dirty yellow colour, tinged with green, white or red. It is often confused with other species which it closely resembles, such as '' Upogebia stellata'', which has additional ocular spines and a narrower abdomen. The mouthparts are densely setose, which helps to filter particles out of the water. Distribution ''Upogebia deltaura'' is found in the eastern Atlantic from Sognefjord, Norway to Spain, and throughout the Mediterranean Sea as well as in the Black Sea. It may also extend as far as Togo, West Africa, but possible confusion with other taxa makes this difficult to assess. Ecology ''Upogebia deltaura'' lives in burrows at up to depth, and will make use of burrows dug by other animals. ''U. deltaura'' is the most abundant large crustacean and the deepest burrowing (up to ) large animal in Scottish maerl beds, and w ...
