“…This study confirms previous experimental observations (Gebauer et al, 2002) which had shown that the duration of the megalopa stage of S. curacaoense is significantly prolonged when stimulating chemical cues from adult odours are absent near the time of metamorphosis. Hence, this semi-terrestrial crab species living in brackish Caribbean mangrove swamps appears to be a suitable model for studies of phenotypic plasticity in the larval development of brachyuran crabs, or decapod crustaceans, in general.…”

“…48%) in the absence of odours from conspecific adults, responding in a similar manner (although to a weaker extent) also to chemical signals released by closely related species (Gebauer et al, 2002). The final larval stage of this crab, the megalopa, may thus be considered as a suitable model for the study of responses to metamorphosis-stimulating chemical cues in decapod crustaceans.…”

“…The main methodological difference between the present study and that of Rodrigues and Hebling (1989) was the presence of the mangrove sediment within the experimental container. The physicochemical characteristics of the substrates might strongly modulate the decapod metamorphosis, such as temperature (Jamieson and Phillips, 1993;McMillan et al, 1995;Anger et al, 2004), salinity (Islam et al, 2005), and conspecific chemical cues (Harvey, 1996;O'Connor and Judge, 1997;Gebauer et al, 1998;Rodríguez and Epifanio, 2000;Gebauer et al, 2002). Future studies, addressing specifically this issue, could provide important information to accelerate the larval development of U. cordatus and to optimize their larviculture.…”
