Similar Metabolic Costs for Mangrove Tree Crabs (Aratus pisonii) in Historic and Range‐Shifted Habitats [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.We show that metabolic costs of mangrove tree crabs are similar in native mangrove habitats and in salt marshes that have recently been colonized with climate change. Our results suggest that changes to life history of this species that accompany this range expansion are the result of energetic constraints in salt marshes.

Ecological and evolutionary implications of allometric growth in stomach size of brachyuran crabs
PLoS ONE, 2018 Individual characteristics often scale allometrically with organismal body size and the form of this scaling can be influenced by ecological and evolutionary factors. Examining the specific form of this scaling can therefore yield important insights into

Motion After‐Effects Induced by Dynamic Illumination in Crab Vision
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.While in humans, background motion can disrupt the detection of visual cues even after the moving background component has ceased, it remains unknown whether natural forms of background motion might also affect other animal visual systems. Here, we test whether prior exposure to naturally occurring ‘caustics’, a form of dynamically moving light ...

DNA testing of edible crabs from seafood shops on the Odisha coast, India
Biomolecular Concepts, 2018 Seafood consumption is highly demanding due to the important source of protein it contains, as well as being rich in omega-3 fatty acids. However, the adulteration of seafood is an alarming issue worldwide, including India.

A new Early Oligocene crab (Decapoda, Brachyura, Dromiacea) from northwest Belgium, with comments on its palaeobiology [PDF]
, 2009 A new genus and species of dromiacean crab, Lucanthonisia praemium, is recorded from the basal Belsele- Waas Clay Member (Boom Clay Formation; Rupelian, lower Oligocene) as formerly exposed at the Scheerders van Kerchove (SVK) clay pit near Sint-Niklaas,

Defensive Behaviour in Intertidal Crabs
Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2025.Mangrove swimming crab showing defensive behaviour by raising its chelae; ruler and grey card are also shown. ABSTRACT Despite a long roster of prey defences against predators now documented by biologists, any given species utilises only some of them, and we have few a priori predictions as to if, when or where they will be employed.

Inter-specific comparative analysis of distribution and habitat use patterns of benthic decapod crustaceans in shallow waters [PDF]
, 2005 [Abstract] Coastal areas have been widely considered as nurseries for many marine species. New approaches to this concept take into account interactions among environmental variables and ecological variations related to geographical location, as well ...

A seascape dichotomy in the role of small consumers for coral reef energy fluxes
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 3, March 2025.Abstract Biogeochemical fluxes through ecological communities underpin the functioning of ecosystems worldwide. These fluxes are often heavily influenced by small‐bodied consumers, such as insects, worms, mollusks, or small vertebrates, which transfer energy and nutrients from autotrophic sources to larger animals.
