In order to evaluate their tolerance to low salinities, zoeae of the fiddler crab Uca tangeri from the Rio San Pedro population (southwestern Spain) were reared in the laboratory at 20ºC and at three salinities (16, 24 and 32).

Growling from the gut: co-option of the gastric mill for acoustic communication in ghost crabs. [PDF]
Animal acoustic communication systems can be built upon co-opted structures that become specialized for sound production or morphological novelties. The ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata, evolved a novel stridulation apparatus on the claws that is used during

In this study, effects of ambient minor cations on three species of euryhaline crabs, Helice tridens, Macrophthalmus japonicus, and Chiromantes dehaani, were studied. We revealed that survival, hemolymph ionic composition, and gene expressions involved in Na+ uptake were affected by minor cations in H. tridens and M. japonicus.

Abstract Over the last 30 yr, our understanding of the factors that control the structure and function of coastal wetlands has shifted from a narrative that focused on bottom‐up control to one that explicitly includes top‐down factors. However, the emphasis of this transition has been on how consumers influence wetland vegetation; comparatively, few ...
