DECAPOD CRUSTACEANS ASSOCIATED WITH WORM ROCK (PHRAGMATOPOMA LAPIDOSA KINBERG) IN SOUTHEASTERN FLORIDA
Title
DECAPOD CRUSTACEANS ASSOCIATED WITH WORM ROCK (PHRAGMATOPOMA LAPIDOSA KINBERG) IN SOUTHEASTERN FLORIDA.
Creator
VAN MONTFRANS, JACQUES., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
Decapod communities associated with intertidal and subtidal worm reefs (Phragmatopoma lapidosa) were investigated in March and September, 1973, at four locations along the Florida east coast. Quantitative samples from intertidal reefs yielded few species (23), dominated by the grapsid, Pachygrapsus transversus. Subtidal samples contained 71 species, generally dominated by Synalpheus fritzmuelleri. Qualitative collections yielded additional rare species resulting in a total of 94 species found...

Quantitative samples from intertidal reefs yielded few species (23), dominated by the grapsid, Pachygrapsus transversus. Subtidal samples contained 71 species, generally dominated by Synalpheus fritzmuelleri. Qualitative collections yielded additional rare species resulting in a total of 94 species found inhabit ing the worm reefs. The family Alpheidae contained the greatest number of species (20) followed by the family Majidae (16) and the fa~ily Xanthidae (12). The remaining 16 families were represented by seven or fewer species. Eleven of the 94 species (or 11 .7%) were new continental records, while occurrence of three other species constituted range extensions from the Florida Keys or Florida west coast. A systematic account of each species is given and taxonomic problems are elucidated. The significance of P. lapidosa reefs as a habitat for decapods is discussed.

Abstract/Description
The xanthid crabs Eurypanopeus depressus and E. dissimilis co-occur among oysters on seawalls in southeastern Florida. Population dynamics and aspects of the life history of these two species were compared during a 1-year period, at two study sites. There were no interspecific differences in adult size for either sex. For both species, females were significantly more abundant than males. E. depressus was more abundant at one study site, E. dissimilis at the other. Ovigerous females were found...

Population dynamics and aspects of the life history of these two species were compared during a 1-year period, at two study sites. There were no interspecific differences in adult size for either sex. For both species, females were significantly more abundant than males. E. depressus was more abundant at one study site, E. dissimilis at the other. Ovigerous females were found year-round. Number of eggs per female of both species increased with increasing carapace width. Recruitment of young into the population occurred year-round.
