MATING BEHAVIOR OF UCA LACTEA PERPLEXA (DECAPODA: OCYPODIDAE) [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1998
Some fiddler crab species (genus Uca) are known to mate either on the surface or underground. Here we describe these two modes of mating in Uca lactea perplexa and compare them with these mating modes in other ocypodid crabs. All surface matings, which lasted from 1.2-5.1 min, occurred near the burrow entrance of the female.

The microbial landscape in bioturbated mangrove sediment: A resource for promoting nature‐based solutions for mangroves

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1584-1602, August 2023., 2023
Bioturbation, through altering the sediment microbiome and environment, determining a “halo effect”, can ameliorate conditions for plant growth, highlighting the potential of the mangrove microbiome as a nature‐based solution to sustain mangrove development and support the role of this ecosystem to deliver essential ecological services.

Morphology of the gastric mill teeth in dotillid crabs (Crustacea: Brachyura: Dotillidae) from Indonesia

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Among deposit‐feeder crab, the morphology of the gastric mill teeth is well correlated with the substrate types. We provide descriptions of the morphology of the median and lateral teeth on gastric mills in eight species of dotillid crabs with phylogenetic analysis using COI and 16S rRNA genes.

Handedness in fiddler crab fights [PDF]

, 2015
Asymmetric weapons are common in bilateral animals and, in some species, they can occur on either the left- or the right-hand side of the body (lateralization). Fiddler crabs (Uca spp, Decapoda: Ocypodidae) have an enlarged claw that is used in male–male

Sexual selection and predation drive the repeated evolution of stridulation in Heteroptera and other arthropods

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

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

Mitochondrial 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 ...

The highly rearranged mitochondrial genomes of the crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae) and gene order evolution in Brachyura [PDF]

, 2017
We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of the spider crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae, Brachyura). Both genomes contain the whole set of 37 genes characteristic of Bilaterian genomes, encoded on both \u3b1- and \u3b2-strands.

White spot syndrome virus host range and impact on transmission

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1843-1860, September 2022., 2022
Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the etiological agent of white spot disease (WSD), is a significant pathogen affecting shrimp farming industry worldwide. White spot syndrome virus is a generalist virus mainly infecting decapod crustaceans. The aims of this review were to: (1) Re‐evaluate and update the status of reported WSSV host and vector

The effect of crab burrows on soil‐water dynamics in mangroves

Hydrological Processes, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Many mangrove ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, are closely linked to mangrove soil water content, which in turn is thought to depend on animal burrow density and the properties of the sediment in which the burrows are constructed.
