Circatidal and Circadian Rhythms of Locomotion in Limulus polyphemus [PDF]

, 2004
The nocturnal increases in the sensitivity of the lateral eye of Limulus polyphemus, the species of horseshoe crab found along the Atlantic coast, have been firmly established as being controlled by an endogenous circadian clock (1,2,3) located in the ...

Hydrological repair and invasive grass removal restore Rhizophora racemosa mangrove communities in West Africa

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 7, September 2025.
Mangrove ecosystems face significant threats from climate change and human activities. In West Benin, the invasive grass Paspalum vaginatum disrupts sedimentation and hydrology, creating anoxic conditions and nutrient imbalances. To address this, we implemented a cost‐effective restoration strategy focused on hydrological repair, engaging local ...

THE VISUAL ACUITY OF THE FIDDLER-CRAB, UCA PUGNAX [PDF]

Journal of General Physiology, 1935
The visual acuity of the fiddler-crab can be measured at various illuminations by means of its response to a moving visual pattern. The method, although similar to that used by Hecht and Wolf for the bee and Hecht and Wald for Drosophila, must be modified to give consistent results.

Self‐Aligned Waveguide Array Integrated with Flat Microlenses for Environment‐Adaptive and High‐Resolution Compound Eye Vision

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 22, August 5, 2025.
For an amphibious high‐resolution compound eye vision system, environment‐adaptive self‐aligned waveguides are integrated with high‐density flat microlenses. Fabrication, optical performance, and environmental adaptability are investigated, demonstrating stable focusing, efficient light collection, and enhanced spatial resolution.

Density-dependent effect on reproductive behaviour of Lysmata amboinensis and L. boggessi (Decapoda: Caridea: Hippolytidae) [PDF]

, 2007
We compared the reproductive behaviours of two protandric simultaneous hermaphroditic species (Lysmata amboinensis and L. boggessi) that belong to two groups of Lysmata shrimp with different morphology, geographical distribution, and density.

Growling from the gut: co-option of the gastric mill for acoustic communication in ghost crabs. [PDF]

, 2019
Animal acoustic communication systems can be built upon co-opted structures that become specialized for sound production or morphological novelties. The ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata, evolved a novel stridulation apparatus on the claws that is used during

Courtship herding in the fiddler crab Uca elegans

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2008
Male and female animals are not always complicit during reproduction, giving rise to coercion. One example of a system that is assumed to involve sexual coercion is the mate herding behaviour of fiddler crabs: males push females towards the home burrow with the goal of forcing copulation at the burrow entrance.

A fisher's perspective: Using half a century of local fisher knowledge to identify socio‐economic, ecological and legislative trends influencing angelshark (Squatina squatina) records in Wales

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 7, Page 1536-1558, July 2025.
Abstract The evolution of marine fisheries has broadly influenced the ecology, distribution and abundance of coastal elasmobranchs. However, quantifying these interactions remains a challenge due to the scarcity of historical records. Fishers' local ecological knowledge (LEK) is an essential tool in fisheries research, providing an avenue to regain ...

Fiddler crabs from highly disturbed beaches are more sensitive to human presence [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The presence of humans frequently modifies the behavior of animals, particularly their foraging patterns, compromising energetic demands. The fiddler crab Leptuca leptodactyla inhabits mangroves with high degrees of anthropogenic influence.

Do lifetime contest costs affect the evolution of assessment strategies? A meta‐analysis

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1335-1345, July 2025.
Our meta‐analysis reveals unexpected patterns in the evolution of assessment strategies during animal contests. We show that self‐assessment dominates in high‐cost fights, challenging existing theories. This study provides novel insights into the link between fighting costs and behavioural evolution, with implications for understanding fitness ...
