The anomuran and brachyuran communities (Crustacea: Decapoda) in sheltered and exposed rocky shores from Anchieta and Guarapari regions (Espírito Santo), Brazil

ABSTRACT Rocky shores are ecosystems susceptible to anthropic impact, and the absence of information in Brazil about their biota hampers characterization and conservation measures. Thus, this study analyzed the abundance, richness, diversity and dominance of anomuran and brachyuran communities in sh...
