No compromise between metabolism and behavior of decorator crabs in reduced pH conditions. [PDF]
, 2019 Many marine calcifiers experience metabolic costs when exposed to experimental ocean acidification conditions, potentially limiting the energy available to support regulatory processes and behaviors. Decorator crabs expend energy on decoration camouflage

Rhythms of Locomotion Expressed by Limulus polyphemus, the American Horseshoe Crab: I. Synchronization by Artificial Tides [PDF]
, 2008 Limulus polyphemus, the American horseshoe crab, has an endogenous clock that drives circatidal rhythms of locomotor activity. In this study, we examined the ability of artificial tides to entrain the locomotor rhythms of Limulus in the laboratory.

Multimodal communication in courting fiddler crabs reveals male performance capacities [PDF]
, 2017 Courting males often perform different behavioural displays that demonstrate aspects of their quality. Male fiddler crabs, Uca sp., are well known for their repetitive claw-waving display during courtship.

Fiddler Crabs: Ecosystems-Organisms-Molecules [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1984 Organisms live in a complex environ? ment which consists of numerous abiotic and biotic factors. To survive and flourish, organisms must be functionally adapted to respond to any of these factors acting inde? pendently or in combination with one or more other factors. Simplistically, this rela?

Why do fiddler crabs build chimneys? [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2008 Chimneys are mud mounds built by fiddler crabs that encircle the entrance to their burrow. Their function in many species is unknown. In Uca capricornis , crabs of both sexes and all sizes build chimneys, but females do so disproportionately more often.
