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 ...

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

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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
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 ...

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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
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.

Conserved Gene Order and Adaptive Evolution in Mitochondrial Genomes of Calappa Crabs: Insights Into Ecological Specialization and Phylogenetic Utility [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genomes of five Calappa species, filling a critical gap in genomic resources for the family Calappidae. Our analyses confirm the monophyly of Calappidae, detect positive selection in key energy metabolism genes (ATP6, ND2, ND5), and reveal conserved gene arrangement patterns.
