platypus (Webb, 2014): paired ovaries dorso-lateral to the digestive system, and connected in the middle, showing an "H" shape, and oviducts, which are connected to gonopores located on the ventral surface of the exopodites of the second pereiopods.
Oogenesis of Lithodes santolla: histological and histochemical characterization
During zoea I, the antennal exopodite is long, with a small spine in the distal region.
These setae are organized in groups of 3, with an apical orifice, and are set between each plumose seta of the exopodite (Fig.
Ontogenetic development of sensory structures on the antennules and antennae of the giant river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man)
The pleopods are similar to those of the type, their exopodites extending considerably beyond the margins of the pleomeres, the subcircular endopodites not covering the central region of the dorsal surface of the pleon.
New records of Pseudionine Bopyrid Isopods, including two new Species and one new Genus, infesting Porcellanid Crabs (Decapoda: Anomura) on the Pacific coast of North and Central America
Exopodites of left-side pleopods averaged 3% and 2% shorter than exopodites of rightside pleopods for the two respective species (paired t-test; both P<0.001; Table 1).
Relative pleopod length as an indicator of size at sexual maturity in slipper (Scyllarides squammosus) and spiny Hawaiian (Panulirus marginatus) lobsters
It was shown that both lobsters and crayfish produce a great variety of flow fields by using the exopodites of the maxillipeds and by fanning the pleopods.

4); the paddle-like exopodites that are used by the larval stages to remain in the water column presumably increase drag during tailflicking.
Tailflick Escape Behavior in Larval and Juvenile Lobsters (Homarus americanus) and Crayfish (Cherax destructor)
Each maxilla [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 4D OMITTED] of the first zoeal stage consists of a large scaphognathite (exopodite fused with epipodite) on the lateral portion of the appendage, a weakly bilobed endopodite and two bilobed endites on the mesial portion.
Functional Morphology of Prey Ingestion by Placetron wosnessenskii Schalfeew Zoeae (Crustacea: Anomura: Lithodidae)
The crabs used their chelae to scrape the third maxillipeds and exopodites of the mouthparts; this behavior was only observed during the first hour of low-salinity exposure.

(2) Larvae swim mainly by beating the long exopodites of the pereiopods.
Effect of methyl farnesoate on late larval development and metamorphosis in the prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Decapoda, Palaemonidae): a juvenoid-like effect?
Their thoracic appendages are biramous, and the outer branches or exopodites are equipped with a fan of setae that acts as a paddle; thus, when the exopodites beat rhythmically they provide locomotory power [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1A OMITTED].
