Abstract:
:Grapsoid crabs are best known from the marine intertidal and supratidal. However, some species also inhabit shallow subtidal and freshwater habitats. In the tropics and subtropics, their distribution even includes mountain streams and tree tops. At present, the Grapsoidea consists of the families Grapsidae, Gecarcinidae, and Mictyridae, the first being subdivided into four subfamilies (Grapsinae, Plagusiinae, Sesarminae, and Varuninae). To help resolve phylogenetic relationships among these highly adaptive crabs, portions of the mitochondrial genome corresponding to the 16S rRNA gene were sequenced for all grapsoid genera occurring in America. The resulting phylogeny confirms most of the present grapsid subfamilies but suggests reclassification of some of the genera and recognition of new taxonomic units. The two American gecarcinid genera might not represent a sister group to the Grapsidae but rather appear to have evolved within the latter. Colonization of inland habitats evolved in several lineages of the grapsoids, resulting in various forms of nonmarine life and different degrees of independence from the sea.
