Drivers of the spatiotemporal patterns of the mangrove crab metacommunity in a tropical bay. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 AbstractRevealing community patterns and driving forces is essential in community ecology and a prerequisite for effective management and conservation efforts. However, the mangrove ecosystem and its important fauna group such as the crabs, still lack multi‐processes research under metacommunity framework, resulting in evidence and theorical ...

Importance of scale in seascape habitat suitability modeling: Predicting species distributions in changing ecosystems. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Habitat suitability models (HSMs) use landscape metrics to describe patterns in species distributions, quantify the success of habitat restoration, and model species responses to change. Within a particular level of organization, the spatial scale of effect at which habitat is integrated and incorporated into HSMs can influence model ...

From Mangrove to Fork: Metal Presence in the Guayas Estuary (Ecuador) and Commercial Mangrove Crabs [PDF]
Foods, 2021 Mangrove wetlands provide essential ecosystem services such as coastal protection and fisheries. Metal pollution due to industrial and agricultural activities represents an issue of growing concern for the Guayas River Basin and related mangroves in Ecuador. Fisheries and the related human consumption of mangrove crabs are in need of scientific support.

An exploratory study on grapsid crab zonation in Kenyan mangroves [PDF]
Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2002 Despite earlier efforts to understand the role played by grapsid crabs in mangroves, their importance in the structuring and functioning of such systems is fully appreciated, particularly with regard to small-scale studies. The present study provides some new data on the interaction between mangroves and crabs, namely the link between the distribution ...
