The fiddler crabs (Ocypodidae: Uca) of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia
The colour patterns of live fiddler crabs and ontogenetic colour changes were documented in the field and compared with morphological results (particularly the shape of the male gonopods) obtained from a new collection. According to these studies the fiddler crabs of Darwin consist of nine species: Uca capricomis Crane, U. dampieri Crane , U.

On the Use of Morphometric Data as a Guide to Reproductive Maturity in the Ghost Crab, Ocypode ceratophthalmus (Pallas) (Brachyura, Ocypodidae) [PDF]
Morphometric data and gonadal histology of the Hawaiian Ghost Crab, Ocypode ceratophthalmus (Pallas), were compared in order to define external morphological guides to reproductive maturity. Males begin producing mature spermatozoa at a carapace width
