Flood facilitates cross‐ecosystem trophic subsidies to marine animals
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Trophic subsidies are resources that cross ecosystem boundaries, influencing the structure and function of recipient food webs. Widespread regulation of rivers for human consumptive use has profoundly altered natural flow regimes, decoupling donor‐recipient dynamics between freshwater and marine ecosystems. We explored trophic subsidies to the

Experiments with robots explain synchronized courtship in fiddler crabs [PDF]
, 2008 SummaryMale fiddler crabs (Uca mjoebergi) produce highly synchronized courtship waves. Is this a cooperative behaviour because females preferentially approach groups that wave synchronously?

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Alaska Department of Fish and Game is implementing an annual monitoring program at the mouth of the Yukon River where our model will estimate the proportion of Chinook salmon at risk from parasite‐induced mortality to inform annual management. Moreover, the model is broadly applicable to other fungal‐like and myxozoan parasites of conservation concern,

Fiddler crabs can feel more than we think: the influence of neighbors on the activities of the fiddler crab Leptuca uruguayensis [PDF]
Fiddler crabs have been used as model organisms in many laboratory and field studies. In their natural environment, social interaction with other fiddler crabs (conspecific or heterospecific) is recurrent, but manipulative studies involving these crabs ...

Challenging the cold: crabs reconquer the Antarctic [PDF]
, 2005 Recent records of lithodid crabs in deeper waters off the Antarctic continental slope raised the question of the return of crabs to Antarctic waters, following their extinction in the lower Miocene ;15 million years ago.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.This study demonstrates that NTZs can be counterproductive, as they may exacerbate the decline of marine forests by protecting sea urchins that are not effectively controlled by predators. We therefore call for a reassessment of management policies, including the targeted harvesting of herbivores where natural top‐down control is absent.

Growth of Smooth Cordgrass Is Increased by Adding Fiddler Crabs
, 2012 To support the restoration of coastal Louisiana, there is a high demand to cultivate Smooth Cordgrass Spartina alterniflora. We tested whether Spartina growth in the presence of the Long-wave Fiddler Crab Uca longisignalis was different from Spartina ...

Courtship herding in the fiddler crab Uca elegans
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2008 Male and female animals are not always complicit during reproduction, giving rise to coercion. One example of a system that is assumed to involve sexual coercion is the mate herding behaviour of fiddler crabs: males push females towards the home burrow with the goal of forcing copulation at the burrow entrance.
