Lobsters were outfitted with a numbered poultry tag on the right cheliped between the carpopodite and meropodite segments for identification. |
|
The first legs are minute claws, small hands, cheliped. |
|
Aggressive interactions were characterized by the extension of both chelipeds, and cheliped embracing or grasping. |
|
Moreover, individuals occupying open marsh areas spent significantly more time eliciting reproductive behaviors such as cheliped waving. |
|
The major cheliped of males was larger than that of females and exhibited positive allometric growth to maturity, after which the level of allometry decreased. |
