Mating behaviour of Macrophthalmus hirtipes (Brachyura: Ocypodidae)

Marine Biology, 2000
We examined the mating behaviour of the New Zealand ocypodid crab Macrophthalmus hirtipes in the laboratory between February and June 1998. This species has a discrete breeding season. Mating and moulting were not linked and only intermoult females with mobile gonopore opercula were attractive to males.

Confirming the occurrence of two fiddler crabs, Tubuca dussumieri (H. Milne Edwards, 1852) and T. coarctata (H. Milne Edwards, 1852) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Ocypodidae), in Hong Kong by DNA barcoding and morphology.

Zootaxa
The Indo-West Pacific region has a rich fiddler crab fauna. In East Asia, some species of fiddler crabs, such as Tubuca coarctata (H. Milne Edwards, 1852) and T. dussumieri (H.

Mound building in Ilyoplax pingi (Crustacea: Brachyura: Ocypodidae)

Marine Biology, 1994
The ocypodid crab Ilyoplax pingi, observed in Kanghwa I., Korea in 1992, builds a mound at the burrow entrance, by piling mud dug out from the burrow. The mounds were made by both waving and non-waving males, and by both ovigerous and non-ovigerous females.

Population genetics of two sibling species of fiddler crabs (Decapoda, Ocypodidae): Brazilian homogeneity and West Atlantic heterogeneity

Crustaceana
Fiddler crabs are a widespread group of marine invertebrates. Their wide distribution is due to the great capacity of their larvae to disperse among estuarine and shelf waters. Therefore, it is expected that all populations along their distribution show

Interaction between reduced pH and multiple stressors affects the physiology of the fiddler crab Leptuca thayeri (Rathbun, 1900) (Decapoda: Brachyura: Ocypodidae)

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2022
Increasing ocean acidification combined with other impacts may cause changes in homeostatic mechanisms of intertidal invertebrates. Stressors do not act in isolation, and experimental work is needed to assess their synergistic potential.

Progressive chelar polymorphism in the mangrove crab, Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) (Decapoda, Brachyura, Ocypodidae) from the south-western Atlantic

Crustaceana
Morphological variation of body size and appendages is defined as polymorphism and may be associated with important structures linked to the sexual selection process.
