Larval dispersal of Brachyura in one of the largest estuarine/marine systems in the world. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2022
The Amazon Continental Shelf (ACS) is a complex habitat that receives a large annual freshwater discharge into the ocean, producing a superficial plume and carrying with it large amounts of nutrients to the continental shelf along thousands of kilometers

Population Dynamics of the Fiddler Crab <i>Tubuca rhizophorae</i> (Tweedie, 1950) in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study uses monthly field surveys and length‐frequency analysis to examine the population dynamics of the fiddler crab Tubuca rhizophorae in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Key parameters, including growth rate, mortality, and exploitation rate, were estimated, revealing that the species experiences rapid growth but is subject to significant fishing ...

Allometric Growth and Morphological Plasticity of the Fiddler Crab Tubuca rhizophorae (Ocypodidae: Decapoda) in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam [PDF]

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
This study examines allometric scaling of five morphological traits in the fiddler crab Tubuca rhizophorae from the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, based on 760 individuals (493 males, 267 females) collected monthly from intertidal mudflats in Bac Lieu and Ca Mau between March 2024 and February 2025.

Fiddler Crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Ocypodidae) From Coastal Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands: Species Descriptions and DNA Barcodes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Twenty‐five taxa were collected during the surveys, while two more were noted from the literature and museum collections; five are new to Ecuador. DNA sequences for cytochrome c oxidase–subunit 1 were obtained for 27 operational taxonomic units with three morphologically indistinguishable cryptic or pseudo‐cryptic taxa were also revealed.

Intraspecific Sensory Diversity and the Decapod Claw: Patterns of Sensillation Are Heterochelic and Sexually Dimorphic In Pagurus bernhardus. [PDF]

J Morphol
Information detection is crucial for biological life, yet many aspects of sensory diversity remain underexplored. Using Pagurus bernhardus hermit crabs, we examined intraspecific sensory diversity in chelar morphology. Examinations of scanning electron micrographs of chelar moults by geometric morphometric analyses and linear mixed modelling revealed ...

Growth of the Mangrove Crab Ucides Cordatus (Brachyura, Ocypodidae) [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2005
Abstract During monthly samplings between September 1998 and August 2000, 3,660 specimens of Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) (2054 males and 1606 females) were obtained and examined for size (CW = carapace width) to determine growth-age equations for each sex.

The effect of salinity on larval development of Uca tangeri (Eydoux, 1835) (Brachyura: Ocypodidae) and new findings of the zoeal morphology

Scientia Marina, 2009
In order to evaluate their tolerance to low salinities, zoeae of the fiddler crab Uca tangeri from the Rio San Pedro population (southwestern Spain) were reared in the laboratory at 20ºC and at three salinities (16, 24 and 32).

Pola dominansi capit pada Uca spp. (Decapoda: Ocypodidae)

Journal of Biological Researches, 2010
Uca spp was a unique crab species marked with asymmetry of the cheliped. A major cheliped and a minor cheliped has different function. Major cheliped size is several times of minor cheliped size (cheliped dominance pattern).
