There is evidence that active, pre-emergence maternal brood care in amphipod crustaceans may be associated with ‘harsh’ environmental conditions. We examined, in the rockpool amphipod Apherusa jurinei, behavioural activities that may function as a form

Metopaulias depressus (Decapoda, Grapsidae) is a crab that breeds in water-storing leaf axils of large Jamaican bromeliads. This study examined whether and how maternal care protects crab larvae from predation by damselfly nymphs. The nymph of the bromeliad-breeding
