Shape and size variations of Aegla uruguayana (Anomura, Aeglidae) under laboratory conditions: A geometric morphometric approach to the growth

Abstract: ABSTRACT.Crustacean growth studies typically use modal analysis rather than focusing on the growth of individuals. In the present work, we use geometric morphometrics to determine how organism shape and size varies during the life of the freshwater crab, Aegla uruguayana Schmitt, 1942. A total of 66 individuals from diverse life cycle stages were examined daily and each exuvia was recorded. Digital images of the dorsal region of the cephalothorax were obtained for each exuvia and were subsequently used to reco… Show more

“…We analyzed the landmark data with geometric morphometrics in R. 18 As described previously, 19 we detected outliers using the Procrustes distance to the mean and the within-individual variance of the deviations from the average position of each landmark, and optimized the outlier threshold by running the classification analysis at different thresholds. We used principal components analysis (PCA), linear models implemented for landmark data, 20 , 21 and canonical variates analysis (CVA) in geomorph, 22 Morpho, 23 shapes, 24 Evomorph, 25 and various custom functions in R. 26 , 27…”

“…Hard structures such as the shells of some crustaceans are widely used in studies of shape diversity due to their stability in terms of shape (Diawol et al, 2015;Rufino et al, 2004). In the phenotype studies of Cephalopods, the shapes of various structures can be used to infer their functional diversity and the patterns of phylogeny and evolution (Carreño Castilla et al, 2020;Kear, 1994;Roscian et al, 2022;Uyeno & Kier, 2007).…”

“…In recent years, due to the rapid development of quantitative morphometrics and the increasing popularity and effectiveness of genetic tools, it allows researchers to evaluate the organism's genotype‐phenotype relationship and efficiently classify taxa based on morphological and molecular markers (Díaz‐Santana‐Iturrios et al, 2022; Dwivedi & De, 2023; Weinhardt et al, 2018). Hard structures such as the shells of some crustaceans are widely used in studies of shape diversity due to their stability in terms of shape (Diawol et al, 2015; Rufino et al, 2004).

“…Estos rasgos variables morfológica se puede cuantificar y analizar por medio de la morfometría geométrica (Slice, 2005(Slice, , 2007; esta, captura la geometría de las estructuras y mantiene esta información en los análisis, combinando geometría, estadística y biología, para con ello lograr visualizar variaciones morfológicas de la estructura estudiada (Rohlf & Marcus, 1993;Adams et al, 2004;Diawol et al, 2015). En crustáceos invasores dulceacuícolas, no existen precedentes del uso de la morfometría geométrica en poblaciones de distintas regiones, debido a que su enfoque de estudio se centra en cómo actúa esta especie como organismo invasor y que afectaciones da este hacía el ecosistema (Arias-Pineda & Pedroza-Martínez, 2018).…”
