Contrasting activity patterns at high and low tide in two Brazilian fiddler crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura: Ocypodidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Fiddler crabs are known as ecosystem engineers as well as important connectors of energy flow between the intertidal zone and the adjacent marine and terrestrial environments, being predated by both marine and terrestrial species.

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.

Microplastics in Fiddler Crabs (genus Uca) [PDF]
, 2019 Microplastics, as defined by NOAA, are small plastic pieces less than five millimeters long, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. The production of plastic products and plastic use has exponentially increased since the start of plastic usage ...

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 ...

Territorial battles between fiddler crab species [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Many species worldwide are impacted by habitat loss. This may result in increased competition both within species and between species. Many studies have demonstrated that when two previously non-overlapping species are forced to compete over a resource, one species is likely to become dominant over the other. This study explores the impact

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Fiddlers on the roof: elevation muddles mate choice in fiddler crabs [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2014 Biological signaling usually occurs in complex environments, yet signals are most often studied in controlled experiments that strip away this complexity. Male fiddler crabs possess one enlarged claw that is waved during courtship displays, and females preferentially respond to larger claws and faster waves.
