Ecological Indicators, 2021 Human recreational visits to tidal flats increase trampling pressure, which has a significant impact on the coastal benthic ecosystem. The fiddler crab Austruca lactea, which inhabits the upper intertidal region, is endangered in temperate regions such ...

Rhythms of Locomotion Expressed by Limulus polyphemus, the American Horseshoe Crab: II. Relationship to Circadian Rhythms of Visual Sensitivity [PDF]
, 2008 In the laboratory, horseshoe crabs express a circadian rhythm of visual sensitivity as well as daily and circatidal rhythms of locomotion. The major goal of this investigation was to determine whether the circadian clock underlying changes in visual ...

Sensitivity of Pagurus bernhardus (L.) to substrate-borne vibration and anthropogenic noise [PDF]
, 2015 © 2015 Elsevier B.V. Despite the prevalence of vibration produced by anthropogenic activities impacting the seabed there are few data and little information as to whether these are detected by crustaceans and whether they interfere with their behaviour ...

Poison Frog Colors Are Honest Signals Of Toxicity, Particularly For Bird Predators [PDF]
, 2012 Antipredator defenses and warning signals typically evolve in concert. However, the extensive variation across taxa in both these components of predator deterrence and the relationship between them are poorly understood.

Spatiotemporal distribution and abundance of mangrove ecosystem engineers: burrowing crabs around canopy gaps [PDF]
, 2015 The burrowing and feeding activities of fiddler and sesarmid crabs have considerable impacts on ecosystem functioning, accordingly they are considered ecosystem engineers.

The visual ecology of fiddler crabs
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2005 With their eyes on long vertical stalks, their panoramic visual field and their pronounced equatorial acute zone for vertical resolving power, the visual system of fiddler crabs is exquisitely tuned to the geometry of vision in the flat world of inter-tidal mudflats.

Predation risk modifies behaviour by shaping the response of identified brain neurons [PDF]
, 2016 Interpopulation comparisons in species that show behavioural variations associated with particular ecological disparities offer good opportunities for assessing how environmental factors may foster specific functional adaptations in the brain.
