Allometric Growth in Ilyoplax Stevensi (Decapoda, Brachyura, Ocypodidae)

Crustaceana, 1991
[La croissance relative des crustaces est souvent decrite par comparaison des niveaux de croissance allometrique des mues pre- et postpuberale des individus. Les lignes de regression qui definissent une telle croissance devraient etre obtenues a partie de series de donnees separees au-dessus ou au-dessous de l'echelonnement des tailles de la mue de ...

Courtship and the Evolution of Underground Mating in Uca tetragonon (Decapoda: Ocypodidae)

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1995
ABSTRACT Uca tetragonon is an Indo-West Pacific species of fiddler crab in the narrow-front (NF) species group. Male Uca tetragonon used display by claw-waving to attract females into burrows of males for mating.

Substratum preference of the tropical estuarine crabs, Uca tangeri Eydoux (Ocypodidae) and Ocypode cursor Linne (Ocypodidae)

Hydrobiologia, 1993
The vertical and horizontal distribution of two burrowing mud crabs, (Ocypodidae) and Ocypode cursor Linne 1758 (Ocypodidae) are described for the Bonny Estuary (7° 00' E: 4° 20′ N), S. Nigeria. Substratum preference is the most prominent factor influencing distribution, but lack of tolerance to low salinities (< 6%o) is also important, and prevents ...

Aspects of the Australasian zoogeography of the Macrophthalminae (Brachyura, Ocypodidae)

Proceedings of the Linnean Society of London, 1968
The Australasian species of Macrophthalmus show close zoogeographical relationships with those of ‘South‐East Asia’, and to a lesser extent with those of ‘Japan’, relatively little relationships with those of the ‘Pacific’, very few with ‘Indian’ species and none with ‘African’ species. In terms of the coefficient of faunistic similarity used, the only

Acoustic Signalling and Detection by Semiterrestrial Crabs of the Family Ocypodidae

1972
The burrow-dwelling, semiterrestrial crabs of the family Ocypodidae have radiated to occupy many different types of habitats from the tropics to the temperate regions. In some species, individuals may be relatively isolated from one another, while other species live in dense colonies with adjacent burrows separated by a few inches. The group displays a

Fiddler Crabs of Jamaica (Decapoda, Brachyura, Ocypodidae, Genus Uca)

Crustaceana, 1986
Review of recent collections and older material in the U.S. National Museum of Natural History and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia has confirmed the occurrence of six species of fiddler crabs on the island of Jamaica. The discovery of a colony of Uca major in Kingston Harbor has suggested that it was this species rather than the South ...

The feeding behaviour of the sand crab Scopimera inflata (Decapoda, Ocypodidae)

Journal of Zoology, 1970
A sequence of activities all related to the feeding of Scopimera inflata H. Milne‐Edwards, 1873 can be distinguished during the daytime periods of low tide. Emergence begins one to two hours after a feeding area is uncovered, reaches a peak after a further three hours but some crabs are still emerging after the tide has turned. Before feeding commences

Hood construction as a spacing mechanism inCleistostoma kuwaitense (Crustacea: Ocypodidae)

Marine Biology, 1988
The ocypodid crabCleistostoma kuwaitense inhabits the upper shores of the mudflats of Kuwait, where it constructs a semi-permanent mud hood over the entrance to its burrow. Between September and November 1986, data were collected on the distribution and orientation of the hoods and their openings to investigate the crab's social spacing system ...
