Allometric Growth and Morphological Plasticity of the Fiddler Crab Tubuca rhizophorae (Ocypodidae: Decapoda) in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
This study examines allometric scaling of five morphological traits in the fiddler crab Tubuca rhizophorae from the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, based on 760 individuals (493 males, 267 females) collected monthly from intertidal mudflats in Bac Lieu and Ca Mau between March 2024 and February 2025.

A Comparative Study of Osmoregulation in Four Fiddler Crabs (Ocypodidae:Uca) [PDF]

Zoological Science, 2002
This study aims to give an integrative description of the correlation of physiological parameters of osmoregulation and the habitats of the four common Uca species in Taiwan. Uca arcuata inhabits areas close to fresh water in the upper beach. Uca formosensis is only found in the areas near the mean high water of spring tide where there is a clear dry ...

Exploring carapace phenotypic variation in female Fiddler Crab (H. Milne Edwards, 1837): insights into adaptive strategies and ecological significance

Journal of Threatened Taxa
Fiddler crabs (Ocypodidae: Crustacea: Arthropoda) are globally documented but relatively understudied along the Indian coastline. Austruca annulipes, common across Indian mangrove habitats, remains insufficiently explored in terms of female morphology ...

Redescription of Macrophthalmus Boteltobagoe and M. Holthuisi with Notes on Their Ecology (Brachyura: Ocypodidae) [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2001
Abstract Macrophthalmus boteltobagoe (Sakai, 1939) is shown to be specifically distinct from M. holthuisi Serene, 1973. The two species differ in many morphological characters and, as well, are shown to prefer different habitats—M. boteltobagoe lives in holes in limestone and scrapes algae for food, whereas M.

The Mitochondrial Genome Reveals Phylogenetic Relationships and Gene Rearrangement in Brachyura

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Brachyura represents the focus of species diversity within Decapoda. However, this diversity increases the difficulty of species identification and obscures the natural phylogenetic relationships. Mitogenomes, with their rich phylogenetic signal and evolutionary informatics, provide critical insights into brachyuran systematics.

Sargassum beaching on mangrove sediments shifts microbial and crab metabolisms and enhances blue carbon storage

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 12, Page 2941-2953, December 2024.
Abstract Benthic metabolism and net carbon accumulation in mangroves sediments strongly depend on the quantity and quality of organic matter (OM) supplied, including material brought by coastal waters such as the macroalgae Sargassum spp. Mesocosms were used to assess the effect of eutrophication by Sargassum on mangrove sediments. The concentration of
