“…Mating behaviours were recorded under light for two reasons: many female shrimp moult and mate during daytime in the laboratory (personal observation), and males' pre-copulatory behaviour under light does not differ from that at night (e.g. Bauer & Holt 1998). The recorded behaviours were analysed according to the criteria established by Zhang & Lin (2004).…”

To investigate pre-and post-zygotic isolation between two sympatric and phylogenetically related species of Lysmata shrimp, two assays were conducted in the laboratory: (1) no specific mate choice where mating between the two species was 'forced'; (2) specific mate choice or preference where a female had a choice between conspecific and heterospecifc males. Behavioural studies reveal that female L. wurdemanni accepted only conspecific male shrimp, whereas L. boggessi females would mate with an interspecific male if there was no conspecific male present. When males of both species were present, L. boggessi females always mated with the conspecific male. Male L. boggessi in general did not respond to the sex pheromones secreted by female L. wurdemanni and did not display any pre-copulatory behaviour to newly moulted female L. wurdemanni. On the other hand, some male L. wurdemanni responded to female L. boggessi. Although mating was successful between male L. wurdemanni and female L. boggessi, the resulting embryos lived at most for 10 days and failed to hatch. The results indicate that the two species are both pre-zygotically and post-zygotically isolated. Behavioural observation suggests that chemical cues are most likely responsible for pre-zygotic isolation.

Population biology of spine shrimp Exhippolysmata oplophoroides (Holthuis) (Caridea, Hippolytidae) in a subtropical region, São Paulo, Brazil

The population biology of Exhippolysmata oplophoroides (Holthuis, 1948) was studied in Ubatuba Bay (23º26'S, 45º02'W), Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil, from September/1995 to August/1996. Each sampling comprised eight transects (14 000 m² each), sampled monthly with three repetitions. The specimens were classified with respect to the presence or absence of eggs in the abdominal appendages. Spine-shrimps occurred only on six transects, being most abundant on transect II, with the highest incidence in late spring and throughout the summer months. Ovigerous and non-ovigerous shrimps were present year-round, in an approximately similar proportion (1:1). Site II in Ubatuba Bay is characterized by high salinity and oxygen values, temperature between 26 and 29ºC, low organic matter content in the sediment, and a bottom composed of very fine sand; these environment and biological features allow the establishment and maintenance of the population of E. oplophoroides.

“…the presence of male and female primary and/or secondary sexual characters within an individual, is widespread, but relatively uncommon throughout all gonochoristic crustaceans. It has been reported in species which exhibit protogyny or protandry (true hermaphroditic species) and in gonochoristic species (Sagi et al 1996, Bauer and Holt, 1998, Bauer and Newman, 2004, Turra 2004). Among gonochoristic species, intersexuality is observed within Australian Parastacidae of the genus Engaeus Erichson, 1846, Engaewa Riek, 1967, and Cherax Erichson, 1846(Horwitz 1988, Medley and Rouse 1993, Sagi et al 1996 and in South American Parastacidae of the genus Parastacus Huxley, 1879, Samastacus (Philippi, 1882) and Virilastacus Hobbs, 1991(Almeida and Buckup 2000, Rudolph and Almeida 2000, Retamal and Rudolph 2005.…”

Abstract:Cherax quadricarinatus is a large freshwater crayfish species (Parastacidae) native of north-west Queensland and the Northern Territory of Australia. The species typically exhibits a gonochoristic sexual system, although in cultured populations various types of intersex individuals have been described as functional males. In the present study, the macroscopic morphology and the gonadal histology of one type of intersex are described and discussed. All intersexes having both pairs of genital openings (female and male openings) and lacking both appendix masculinae and red patches were functional females with normal ovaries and oviducts. From a histological point of view, they did not differ from normal females having previtellogenic and/or vitellogenic ovaries according to size. Rev. Biol. Trop. 55 (Suppl. 1): 25-32.
