Yeti claws: Cheliped sexual dimorphism and symmetry in deep-sea yeti crabs (Kiwaidae). by Christopher Nicolai Roterman, Molly McArthur, Cecilia Laverty Baralle, Leigh Marsh, Jon T Copley

“…This marked difference is indicative of either male-male competition for mate access, sexual selection, or differential energy allocation (growth vs reproduction) between males and females, as observed in other decapod crustaceans. In contrast, a reanalysis of data for the methane seep inhabiting yeti crab Kiwa puravida revealed no significant difference in claw allometry, indicating a possible lack of similar sexual selection pressures, and highlighting potential key differences in the ecological and reproductive strategies of K. tyleri and K. puravida relating to claw function, microbial productivity and population density. …”
