“…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) …”

Allometric growth, sexual maturity and reproductive cycle of Aegla castro (Decapoda: Anomura: Aeglidae) from Itatinga, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil

“…Aegla is unique among anomurans because all 78 species described so far (see checklist by McLaughlin et al, 2010, augmented by description of new species published afterwards by Santos et al, 2012; are endemic to continental South America from latitude 70°S, in Chile to latitude 20°S in Brazil (Bueno et al, 2007;Oyanedel et al, 2011), and are entirely adapted to freshwater habitats, such as lakes, rivers and streams (Schmitt, 1942;Martin and Abele, 1988;Bond-Buckup and Buckup, 1994). Most species are found in epigean habitats (Bond-Buckup et al, 2008) but few species are obligate inhabitants of subterranean habitats (Türkay, 1972;Bond-Buckup and Buckup, 1994;Fernandes et al, 2013).…”
