A checklist of the Chilean species of the genus Aegla (Decapoda, Anomura, Aeglidae)

Abstract

The distributional pattern of the Chilean species of the freshwater crab genus Aegia is presented.

First report of inventory and role of macroinvertebrates and fish in Cautín river (38° S, Araucania region Chile)

“…It was searched literature published between 1980 to present year, from scientific data bases (Scopus, 2018; Scholar Google) and university libraries of the Araucania region for river Cautín macroinvertebrate data obtained from thesis from 1980 to present year. Taxonomic names were confirmed and corrected in according to specialized literature (Jara et al, 2006;Dominguez and Fernandez, 2009;Jara, 2013). The on-line bibliographic database of the Universidad Catolica de Temuco, Chile, mainly Science Direct and Scielo, was used.…”

“…The literature about macroinvertebrates in this kind of rivers is quite fragmented, and mainly describes the presence of Malacostraca such as amphipods of the genus Hyalella (S.I. Smith), freshwater crabs of the genus Aegla (Leach, 1820), and the southern Chilean river prawn, Samastacus spinifrons (Phillippi, 1882) (De los Ríos-Escalante et al, 2012;Jara, 2013;Rudolph, 2013), and Diptera, Trichoptera and Ephemeroptera larval stages (Figueroa, 2000;Figueroa et al, 2003Figueroa et al, , 2007, many of these groups are currently endangered due to human-induced alterations in their habitats and the introduction of alien salmonids species since 1914 (Golusda, 1907(Golusda, , 1927Barros, 1931;Jara et al, 2006;Encina et al, 2017;Vega et al, 2017). The (introduced) salmonids, specifically, constitute non-selective, active predators (Soto et al, 2006(Soto et al, , 2007Fierro et al, 2012Fierro et al, , 2015Fierro et al, , 2016Piedra et al, 2012;Valdovinos et al, 2012;Vargas et al, 2010Vargas et al, , 2015.…”

Diversity and conservation status of Aegla spp. (Anomura, Aeglidae): an update

“…Nauplius, 25: 2017011 (AOO; sub-criterion B2), using data from literature (Bond-Buckup and Buckup, 1994;Jara and Palacios, 1999;Jara et al, 2003;Galves et al, 2007;Santos et al, 2009;2010;2012;2015;Bond-Buckup et al, 2010a;2010b;César and Damborenea, 2010;Oyanedel et al, 2011;Rocha and Bueno, 2011;Boos et al, 2012;Satterlee et al, 2012;Giri and Collins, 2014;Moraes et al, 2016) …”

Behavioural variation and competitive status in three taxa ofAegla(Decapoda: Anomura: Aeglidae) from two-community settings in Southern Chile

“…strong chelae) that could confer competitive advantages under situations of agonistic interactions. For example, A. denticulata has well-developed spinous processes along the cephalothorax margin and on chelipeds, and large sized manus (Jara 1989), and A. abtao has smooth cephalothorax margins, and a marked heterochely. The morphological features of A. abtao seem to confer advantages under conditions of reophilia, and a greater displacement capability to search for prey (Jara 1996).…”
