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

open access: yesPLoS 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

The correlation between environmental parameters and the abundance of crabs in the mangrove ecosystem of Gemuruh River, Koto XI Tarusan District, West Sumatera

open access: yesDepik Jurnal, 2023
Crabs are a member of the mangrove ecosystem fauna and get their food source from litter. They turn the litter into detritus and maintain ecological balance.

Complete mitogenome of Uca rosea and Uca paradussumieri, and their implications in evolution history of fiddler crab in Ocypodidae

open access: yesMitochondrial 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 ...

Comparison of the population structure of the fiddler crab Uca vocator (Herbst, 1804) from three subtropical mangrove forests

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2004
The population structure of U. vocator was investigated during a one-year period in three mangrove forests in southeast Brazil. The study specifically addressed comparisons on individual size , juvenile recruitment and sex-ratio.

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

open access: yesScientia 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).

Physiologic sexual maturity of the fiddler crab Uca rapax (Smith, 1870) (Crustacea, Ocypodidae) from two mangroves in Ubatuba, Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2006
The gonad development of Uca rapax was studied to achieve the size at onset of its sexual maturity. Crabs were sampled from April/2001 to March/2002 in the Itamambuca and Ubatumirim mangroves in Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil.

Relative growth of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) (Crustacea, Brachyura, Ocypodidae) at Iguape, São Paulo, Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2006
A total of 2,130 individuals of Ucides cordatus (1,255 males and 875 females) were captured in a mangrove forest at Iguape, São Paulo, Brazil. For each crab, the following body structures were measured: carapace (width = CW; length = CL; depth = CD), 5th
