- Abstract
The article discusses research evaluating the morphometric variability of three crustacean species, the amphipod Orchestoidea tuberculata, the isopod Excirolana hirsuticauda, and the crab Emerita analoga, in relation to the reflective, intermediate, and dissipative beach types on the North coast of Chiloé Island in south-central Chile. Body length, height, and width, as well as antennae and uropodal exopod lengths, were analyzed using cluster and principal component analysis.
