Most burrowing shrimps (infraorder Axiidea and Gebiidea) are characterized by solitary habits, which led many of these species to evolve a remarkable sexual dimorphism both in body size and chelipeds
An animal’s morphology influences its ability to perform essential tasks, such as locomoting to obtain prey or escape predators. While morphology–performance relationships are well-studied in lizards,
SexDim = sexual dimorphism. NS = ‘not significant’,* = p<0.05, ** = p<0.01, *** = p<0.001 two-tailed, n.a. = not available. Difference to data set in Table 4: a = inclusion of four M. mulatta groups w
