PMCID: PMC4820091  PMID: 27081332

Abstract Abstract

For most of the family Porcellanidae, which comprises 283 species, larval development remains to be described. Full development has been only described for 52 species, while part of the larval cycle has been described for 45 species. The importance of knowing the complete larval development of a species goes beyond allowing the identification of larval specimens collected in the plankton. Morphological larval data also constitute a support to cladistic techniques used in the establishment of the phylogenetic status (see Hiller et al. 2006, Marco-Herrero et al. 2013). Nevertheless, the literature on the larval development of this family is old and widely dispersed and in many cases it is difficult to collect the available information on a particular taxon. Towards the aim of facilitating future research, all information available on the larval development of porcellanids has been compiled. Following the taxonomic checklist of Porcellanidae proposed by Osawa and McLaughlin (2010), a checklist has been prepared that reflects the current knowledge about larval development of the group including larval stages and the method used to obtain the larvae, together with references. Those species for which the recognised names have been changed according to Osawa and McLaughlin (2010) are indicated.

Introduction

Porcellanidae, commonly known as porcelain crabs, is a family of decapods belonging to the infraorder Anomura (Crustacea, Decapoda). The group comprises 283 species according to the classification proposed by Osawa and McLaughlin (2010). Like most decapods, their life cycle contains a planktonic larval phase presenting various morphological changes during ontogenic development; this produces different larval morphologies that vary even within the same species. This high inter- and intra-specific morphological diversity poses many difficulties both for the identification of specimens from plankton samples and for the taxonomic description of undescribed larval stages. Morphological studies are thus of crucial importance if such problems are to be overcome.

Although decapod larvae were first described almost 250 years ago (Cancer pagurus, described as Cancer germanicus by Linnaeus, 1767), the morphology of a porcellanid larva was not described until 1835, when J. Vaughan Thompson published a brief description of a larva of Porcellana reared from eggs of females collected in British waters. Eight years later, Dujardin (1843) presented for the first time a more comprehensive description of a porcellanid larva, describing the zoeal stage of Pisidia longicornis (as Porcellana longicornis). Numerous descriptions of the larval stages have been published during more than 170 years. The number of published descriptions of the larval morphology of porcellanids, and of other groups of decapods, has grown exponentially since the 1960’s (Martin 1984, Rice 1993). Several researchers, including Gore (1968–1977) or the team constituted by Hernández, Bolaños and Graterol (see papers from 1996 to 2012), have made special contributions to knowledge of porcellanid larval morphology.

González-Gordillo et al. (2001) showed that, in addition to the limited number of descriptive studies on decapod larval morphology, a large percentage are based on organisms collected from plankton samples or reared under laboratory conditions from females that were not accurately identified. Furthermore, several published larval descriptions are brief or very general, with inadequate illustrations that are far from the well-accepted standard proposed by Clark et al. (1998).

In addition, the literature on larval descriptions is scattered or very old; since literature of this kind is often not available in digital formats for download or online request, or it has been published in local scientific journals (“grey” literature), it is complicated to access it using common bibliographic search engines. As a consequence, in studies requiring the identification of planktonic organisms (with the eventual need to present identification keys), or in morphological studies in which new larval stages are described, where it becomes necessary to compare results with those reported in previous publications of larval descriptions, the researcher has a difficult task in compiling the available information for the target taxon. Although this situation has yielded publication of several bibliographic compilations for brachyurans, like those of Gurney (1939), Soltanpour-Gargari et al. (1989), Martin (1984), Wear (1985), Wehrtman and Baez (1997) and González-Gordillo et al. (2001), there is still no published compilation on porcellanids on a worldwide basis.

Many larval publications first appeared more than 30 years ago; for example according to González-Gordillo et al. (2001), 86.6 % of the descriptions made for species of decapods from the Gibraltar Strait were published more than 25 years ago. The scientific name of a species described then could have changed, or two or more different species could have been reclassified as one species. This complicates even further the bibliographic search because a search using the current name of a target species will almost certainly omit old studies of that species under a name that has changed or been superseded.

Therefore, the objective of this study is three-fold: 1) to compile the available literature on porcellanid larval morphologies; 2) to record the possible changes in the nomenclature of species, or synonymies; and 3) to describe the state-of-the-art on the larval development of species belonging to the family Porcellanidae.

Methods

The data set of this study comprises a total of 133 entries obtained from 83 published papers (from 1835 to 2012). Search engines and scientific databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, Science Direct and Web of Science have been used for the bibliographic compilation. The current total number of porcellanid species and the taxonomic classification used for the present checklist follow those of Osawa and McLaughlin (2010). The current validity of the species has been also checked by consulting the World Register of Marine Species (http://www.marinespecies.org).

In the checklist, the status of current knowledge of the larval development is specified for each species as follows: i) the author(s) and the date of publication of the larval description; ii) the specific larval stages described, using the following classification: (PR), (Z1-5), and (M); iii) the method used to obtain the larvae, according to the following designations: from (Pl), (Lab) and (P+L). Entries marked with asterisk mean that the larval description available, in our opinion, is accurate enough to establish comparisons with other species and have all stages fully described and illustrated. In the checklist, if the taxonomical name of the species described does not match the current taxonomic name according to Osawa and McLaughlin (2010), this is indicated by ‘as’ followed by the name of the species cited in the description.

Results

The larval development of porcellanids usually consists of two zoeal stages and one megalopal stage, with the exception of Petrocheles spinosus, which has five zoeal stages.

Description of the larval development of porcellanids first appeared in 1843, when Dujardin published a description of the first zoeal stage of Pisidia longicornis, referred to as Porcellana longicornis. The larval descriptions available were poor in number until the 1960’s and 1970’s, when an increasing trend in the number of publications is observed; this was possibly due to the increased number of scientists specializing in this area, to the increased facilities for cultivating larvae in laboratory conditions, and to the advances in microscope technology (Rice 1993). The historical peak for the number of publications per annum occurred in the late 1990’s and at the beginning of the current century.

Currently, the family Porcellanidae family consists of 283 species (Osawa and McLaughlin 2010). Complete larval development has been described for 52 species (18.4%), while only some larval stages have been described for another 45 species (15.9%). For the remaining 186 species (65.7%), none of the larval stages has been described.

The current knowledge of larval development by genus (percentages) and the number of species in each genus are shown in Figure 3. Although the family Porcellanidae consists of 29 genera, the larval stages have not been described for 12 genera. The genera with the most numerous species are Petrolisthes (106 species) and Pachycheles (44 species); however, the complete larval development has been described for only 21 species of Petrolisthes (19.8%) and only nine species of Pachycheles (20.4%).
