Sesarma Sinensis
''Sesarma'' is a genus of terrestrial crabs endemic to the Americas. Many species within this genus live in mangroves. They have evolved to be fully terrestrial, which means they do not have to return to the sea even to spawn. Several species initially placed here are now placed in other genera of the Sesarmidae, and in some cases even elsewhere in the Grapsoidea. ''Sesarma'' contains the following extant species: *''Sesarma abeokuta'' Schubart & Santl, 2014 *''Sesarma aequatoriale'' Ortmann, 1894 *''Sesarma ayatum'' Reimer & Diesel, 1998 *''Sesarma bidentatum'' Benedict, 1892 *''Sesarma cookei'' Hartnoll, 1971 *'' Sesarma crassipes'' Cano, 1889 *''Sesarma curacaoense'' De Man, 1892 *''Sesarma dolphinum'' Schubart & Diesel, 1998 *''Sesarma fossarum'' Reimer, Diesel & Türkay, 1997 *'' Sesarma jarvisi'' Rathbun, 1913 *'' Sesarma meridies'' Schubart & Koller, 2005 *'' Sesarma rectum'' Randall, 1840 *''Sesarma reticulatum'' (Say, 1817) *'' Sesarma rhizophorae'' Rathbun, 1906 *' ...

Thomas Say
Thomas Say (June 27, 1787 – October 10, 1834) was an American entomologist, conchologist, and herpetologist. His studies of insects and shells, numerous contributions to scientific journals, and scientific expeditions to Florida, Georgia, the Rocky Mountains, Mexico, and elsewhere made him an internationally known naturalist. Say has been called the father of American descriptive entomology and American conchology. He served as librarian for the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, curator at the American Philosophical Society (elected in 1817), and professor of natural history at the University of Pennsylvania. Early life and education Born in Philadelphia into a prominent Quaker family, Thomas Say was the great-grandson of John Bartram, and the great-nephew of William Bartram. His father, Dr. Benjamin Say, was brother-in-law to another Bartram son, Moses Bartram. The Say family had a house, "The Cliffs" at Gray's Ferry, adjoining the Bartram family farms in King ...

Sesarma Reticulatum
''Sesarma reticulatum'', the purple marsh crab or simply marsh crab, is a crab species native to the salt marshes of the eastern United States. Distribution The range of ''S. reticulatum'' extends from Woods Hole, Massachusetts to Volusia County, Florida; a related species occurs in the Gulf of Mexico. Description ''Sesarma reticulatum'' is purple or brown, with darker speckles, with a carapace up to long. It can be distinguished from the closely related '' S. cinereum'' by the presence of a second tooth around the orbit of each eye. The larvae or zoea of ''Sesarma reticulatum'' are aquatic, residing at a depth of greater than 1 meter below the water's surface. The larvae remain in estuaries during their development, providing food for predators. Ecology Their overpopulation, caused by over-harvesting by recreational fishermen of its natural predators such as blue crabs, striped bass, smooth dogfish and cod, has been blamed for the decline in cordgrass found in ...
