DEEPEND Datasets
This dataset includes 12S, 16S, and COI sequence data. Sequences were obtained from the eight recognized species of Farfantepenaeus: F. aztecus, F. brasiliensis, F. brevirostris, F. californiensis, F. duorarum, F. isabelae, F. notialis, and F. subtilis. Also included are several sequences from species of Litopenaeus, which serve as outgroup(s).

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Evolution occurs and can be conceptualized along a spectrum, bounded on one extreme by the relationships between deep lineages – such as phyla, classes, and orders – and on the other by the molecular dynamics of operational taxonomic units within a species, defined as population genetics. The purpose of this dissertation was to better understand the evolutionary and population dynamics of crustaceans within the Gulf of Mexico. In the second chapter of my dissertation, I provide a guide to best phylogenetic practice while reviewing infraordinal relationships within Decapoda, including the promise held by next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches such as Anchored …
Morphological Features Of Taxonomical Value For The Identification Of Three Western Atlantic Penaeid Shrimp Genera (Decopoda: Penaeidae), Maria M. Criales, Carlos Varela
Morphological Features Of Taxonomical Value For The Identification Of Three Western Atlantic Penaeid Shrimp Genera (Decopoda: Penaeidae), Maria M. Criales, Carlos Varela
Gulf and Caribbean Research
Rostra, telsons and patterns of sternal spines were examined for Western Atlantic penaeid shrimps Metapenaeopsis, Rimapenaeus and Farfantepenaeus to facilitate the identification of postlarval and juvenile stages and clarify the patterns of sternal spines previously proposed as a useful tool for identifying penaeid postlarvae at the generic level. Examination of the telsons and rostra from closely related Metapenaeopsis and Rimapenaeus species indicated that at the postlarval stages these morphological features are very similar in shape and size. Regarding the sternal spines, Metapenaeopsis spp. bear a pair on the second thoracic plate, while Rimapenaeus spp. lack thoracic spines. The different pattern …
