Journal of Crustacean Biology

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Crustacean Biology publishes research on the diversity, evolution, ecology, physiology, and behavior of crustaceans. Recent articles focus on topics such as geographic origin authentication using morphometrics, predator-prey interactions and shelter choices in crayfish, biodiversity assessments and conservation strategies for freshwater decapods, reproductive traits of invasive crab species, cryptic species identification in parasitic crustaceans, ecological roles of crabs in Caribbean and Mexican ecosystems, ecotoxicological effects of biopolymers on crayfish, microbiome analysis of infected crayfish, aquaculture technologies for shrimp, systematic and biogeographic reviews of crayfish fauna, deep-sea isopod habitat and body size variation, latitudinal adaptation of fiddler crabs to thermal variation, systematics and evolutionary relationships of freshwater prawns, description of new species of deep-sea lobsters, parasitic barnacle infestations on squat lobsters, advances in crustacean neurobiology, age estimation methods for Antarctic krill, prey profitability and hunting strategies of crabs, fossil decapod biodiversity and evolutionary history, dietary effects on crab ovarian development and protein synthesis, thermal tolerance and metabolic performance of invasive crayfish, morphometric variation and symmetry in mangrove crabs, life history and habitat use of intertidal crabs, and detailed morphological mapping of the Norway lobster's central nervous system. The journal also includes studies on sexual dimorphism and chela allometry in crabs.
