Effects of Fiddler Crab Burrows on Sediment Properties in the Mangrove Mudflats of Sungai Sepang, Malaysia [PDF]
Biology, 2016 In mangrove ecosystems, litter fall accumulates as refractory organic carbon on the sediment surface and creates anoxic sediment layers. Fiddler crabs, through their burrowing activity, translocate oxygen into the anoxic layers and promote aerobic ...

Metabolic rates of different demographics in the sand fiddler crab Leptuca pugilator. [PDF]
PLoS ONEStudies on animal energetics often focus on standardized metabolic rates to facilitate comparison across systems. Yet these standardized measurements often do not capture the realistic demographic and environmental variation that is common in natural ...

Fiddling with the blue carbon: Fiddler crab burrows enhance CO2 and CH4 efflux in saltmarsh
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Saltmarshes are important global carbon (C) sinks, but the considerable uncertainty in the C budget and the underlying mechanisms limit the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG, e.g., CO2 and CH4) in the context of global climate change.

Hemigrapsus sanguineus in Long Island salt marshes: experimental evaluation of the interactions between an invasive crab and resident ecosystem engineers [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 The invasive Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus, has recently been observed occupying salt marshes, a novel environment for this crab species. As it invades this new habitat, it is likely to interact with a number of important salt marsh species ...
