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,…
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…
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 …

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…

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 …
Freshwater crabs make up a considerable part of Brachyura's diversity, and taxonomic classifications at broader levels have recently undergone several adjustments, but still without a consensus on the phylogenetic positioning of their representatives within Eubrachyura. The superfamilies from the Neotropical region, Pseudothelphusoidea and Trichodactyloidea, follow this profile of phyloge…

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…

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, …
