Species Diversity of Fiddler Crabs (Uca spp.) in the Mangrove Ecosystem of Duta Coastal, Probolinggo Regency, East Java [PDF]
Jurnal Kelautan TropisFiddler crab (Uca spp.) belongs to the Order Decapoda and Family Ocypodidae, which live by making burrows in the substrate between mangrove plants. The presence of fiddler crabs plays an important role in mangrove ecosystems, which can increase sediment ...

Are fiddler crabs potentially useful ecosystem engineers in mangrove wastewater wetlands?
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2009 The effect of different organic-rich sewage concentration (0%, 20% and 60% diluted in seawater) and absence or presence of mangrove trees on the survival, bioturbation activities and burrow morphology of fiddler crabs species was assessed. After 6 months,

Hunting and predation in a fiddler crab
Journal of Ethology, 2009 Fiddler crabs are known primarily to be deposit feeders. They eat detritus, bacteria, and other small particles of organic material found in the sandy or muddy substrate on which they live. They have highly specialized mouthparts used to separate edible matter from nondigestable material.

Dishonest signalling in a fiddler crab [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000 Animal communication theory predicts that low-frequency cheating should be common in generally honest signalling systems. However, perhaps because cheats are designed to go undetected, there are few examples of dishonest signals in natural populations. Here we present what we believe is the first example of a dishonest signal which is used commonly by ...

Remote Sensing, 2022 Migratory shorebirds are notable consumers of benthic invertebrates on intertidal sediments. The distribution and abundance of shorebirds will strongly depend on their prey and on landscape and sediment features such as mud and surface water content ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 We determined the complete mitogenomes of two fiddler crabs Uca rosea (15,643 bp) and Uca paradussumieri (15,614 bp) of Ocypodidae within Brachyura. Both consist of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes ...

Sharing is living: The role of habitat heterogeneity in the coexistence of closely related species
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 In biologically diverse ecosystems, an essential process to support competing species to coexist is ecological differentiation. Habitat heterogeneity is, hence, important in establishing species abundance and richness, favoring the coexistence of species

Handedness in fiddler crab fights [PDF]
Animal Behaviour, 2015 Asymmetric weapons are common in bilateral animals and, in some species, they can occur on either the left- or the right-hand side of the body (lateralization). Fiddler crabs (Uca spp, Decapoda: Ocypodidae) have an enlarged claw that is used in male–male combat over territories and in courtship displays.
