I took the Taxonomy info from http://ctd.mdibl.org/voc.go;jsessionid=E9B27A44C1BAC5F0F12D32BB80C19982?voc=taxon&browser=r&termUI=255319#hierarchies hope its correct.

Close enough; I've tweaked it, and it's right now (although there are some doubts about Heterotremata as a group, but there's nothing we can do about that). --Stemonitis 10:07, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Can whoever edited the part about Carl Sagan (being wrong about the artificial selection) please have the source cited? Right now it's not very clear where this comes from. If you mention "other crabs" can you give examples? Also for taxonomy info there is a handy site called the tree of life web project found at http://tolweb.org/tree/ for all those interested.

Hi. I didn't add that part, but I think I found the original source, so I put a reference in the article. -- 18.252.6.246 06:27, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I think it might be a good idea to reorganize the article, putting Carl Sagan and the Heike Crab's role in the Playstation 3 video game Genji: Days of the Blade into a trivia section. Post E3 2006, the "giant enemy crab" demoed in the game became a major internet phenomenon, largely because there was little understanding of why they were in a game based on history. I want to make sure its alright with the rest of you before I make any changes. I also found an image of the crab at http://www.biocrawler.com/encyclopedia/Image:HeikeaJaponica.jpg, which supposedly originated from Wikipedia.

Please don't post video game trivia in this article and confine it to the article about the game itself.--Eloquence* 18:36, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
