The effect of salinity on larval development of Uca tangeri (Eydoux, 1835) (Brachyura: Ocypodidae) and new findings of the zoeal morphology

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2009
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).

Embryology of the Mangrove Crab Ucides Cordatus (Brachyura: Ocypodidae) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Crustacean Biology, 2003
Abstract Ovigerous females of Ucides cordatus were collected at different mangrove areas in Iguape, SP, Brazil, and reared in the laboratory in order to describe each embryonic stage. Accounts of the biometry, internal morphology, and coloration of the eggs were taken.

Growling from the gut: co-option of the gastric mill for acoustic communication in ghost crabs. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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

Spatiotemporal distribution and abundance of mangrove ecosystem engineers: burrowing crabs around canopy gaps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The burrowing and feeding activities of fiddler and sesarmid crabs have considerable impacts on ecosystem functioning, accordingly they are considered ecosystem engineers.

Hemolymph composition, gene expressions in the gills, and thus the survival of euryhaline crabs are controlled by ambient minor cations according to osmotic condition‐dependent manner

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 21, Page 12183-12199, November 2020., 2020
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.

Consumer impacts on ecosystem functions in coastal wetlands: The data gap

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 11, Issue 2, February 2020., 2020
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 ...
