Fig. 6From: New insights into the evolution of portunoid swimming crabs (Portunoidea, Heterotremata, Brachyura) and the brachyuran axial skeletonPortunoid taxa assigned to Portunidae on the basis of Evans [12]. A–E Representations of three-dimensional (3D) data from the axial skeletons together with an image of each species showing the cephalothorax with right or left 5th pereiopod in dorsal view, 3D models are supplied in Additional files 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, F images (showing the cephalothorax with right 5th pereiopod in dorsal view) of species in which the axial skeleton was examined in this study but without a complete three-dimensional (3D) model being created.
