Evolutionary variation in the mechanics of fiddler crab claws. [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2013 Fiddler crabs, genus Uca, are classic examples of how intense sexual selection can produce exaggerated male traits. Throughout the genus the enlarged "major" cheliped (claw) of the male fiddler crab is used both as a signal for attracting females and as a weapon for combat with other males.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

INTRAGENERIC PREDATION BY FIDDLER CRABS IN SOUTH CAROLINA [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2002 In South Carolina, two species of fiddler crab, Uca pugilator and U. pugnax, often feed in droves on the sand flats of smooth cordgrass salt marshes. Another fiddler crab, U. minax, does not drove, but large males of this species occasionally move onto sand flats and prey on members of the other smaller species.

Bio‐inspired vision: From principle, material architectures to system‐level integration
FlexMat, EarlyView.This review introduces the development and mechanism of electronic and ionic bio‐inspired vision devices respectively. Then, it explores the impact of structure on bio‐inspired visual performance from the scale of intrinsic materials and device. Finally, it concludes that only by combining advanced software and technology can more complex vision ...
