Background Colour and shape polymorphisms are important features of many species and
may allow individuals to exploit a wider array of habitats, including through behavioural …

Sexual systems vary considerably among caridean shrimps and while most species are
gonochoric, others are described as sequential protandric hermaphrodites or simultaneous …

One of the most exceptional, loud paradigm of shape polymorphisms constitutes the “rostral
loss” condition in hippolytid shrimps. The intertidal shrimp Hippolyte sapphica includes two …

The genus Hippolyte is represented by typically small shrimps with intriguing mechanisms of
reproduction. In order to study possible variability in reproductive aspects among different …

The current checklist is the result of a long-term multidisciplinary project which combined
molecular techniques (mitochondrial DNA markers) and morphological analyses of adult …

Hippolyte obliquimanus is a marine shrimp reported from the Caribbean Sea and Brazil. The
literature provides indications for morphological variation between populations from those …

Shrimps from the genus Lysmata are unusual because of their peculiar sexual system.
Individuals in a population first reproduce as males, to change later in life to functional …

This study analyzed and described the sexual system of Exhippolysmata oplophoroides
through the study of primary and secondary sexual characters at macroscopic and …

Hippolyte is a genus of small bodied marine shrimps, with a global distribution. Here, we
studied the phylogenetic and biogeographic relationships amongst the species of this genus …

Polymorphism may allow individuals to expand habitat use through morph-specific resource
demands. However, the underlying mechanisms maintaining different morphotypes in …
