This project was motivated by different reasons. Among them, previous experiences from other projects and which are combined with the situation reported below regarding the extreme lack of updated information and Brazilian experts dedicated to the use of molecular tools in the area of ¿¿taxonomy and systematics of decapod crustaceans (shrimp, crabs, hermit crabs and similar) inhabiting th…
Information about the morphology and larval development of the species are essential in the knowledge of the life history and in phylogenetic studies. The increase in larval studies of Alpheidae shrimp in the state of São Paulo in recent years has contributed significantly to the knowledge of many species. However, for a comprehensive analysis, it is necessary that most species are descri…
The value of biological collections, especially in the current context of accelerated loss of planetary biodiversity, is undoubted. Currently, given the great technological development and popularization of digital media, large databases of biological collections have been made available on the internet, which consequently exponentially increases their visibility and use. In this context,…

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 …

Trichodactylidae is a family of freshwater crabs with a wide geographic distribution in the Neotropical region, composed of species with a high degree of endemism. Like other taxa, it has uncertainties regarding its origin and radiation, as well as taxonomic challenges that have resulted in a decline in the frequency of new species descriptions in recent years. This condition raises quest…
The decapod crustacean taxon Aegla Leach, 1820 corresponds to the only extant genus of the family Aeglidae Dana, 1852, endemic to South America and whose life cycle occurs exclusively in freshwater environments. In recent years, many species of Aegla have been described after the exploration of areas that until then had been little studied. This fact raises the possibility that other area…
Macrobrachium Spence Bate, 1868 (Decapoda: Caridea: Palaemonidae) is a very diverse genus of freshwater shrimp. It is suspected that the diversity of the genus is greater than that known, and studies that investigate phylogenetic relationships have great potential to expand knowledge about Macrobrachium. In this sense, the focus of this study is on the species of the genus that have been …

Knowing about the genetic variation of a population is important to understand more about taxonomy and how geographic distribution plays a role in evolutionary mechanisms on animals. That way, this study investigated the taxonomy, geography distribution and genetic variation of the crab species from the Mithracidae family Omalacantha bicornuta. To do the study, I will use morphological da…
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…

The Mithracidae family is a group of spider crabs consisting of 14 genera. One of them is the genus Omalacantha, which was recently revalidated and currently includes three species, which are: Omalacantha antillensis, Omalacantha interrupta and Omalacantha bicornuta. The latter is known for a considerable taxonomic history of descriptions and allocations to different genera, including Pi…
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…
