Ecologies, 2022 This study analyzed field and acclimatized (7 days) mangrove Ucides cordatus crabs from polluted and unpolluted environments to compare their HSP70 levels. The animals were cryo-anesthetized and dissected.

Acute toxicity of sodium metabisulphite on mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Decapoda, Ucididae) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2012 The sodium metabisulphite salt is usually used in shrimp culture to prevent black spot. Unfortunately the toxicological effect of this xenobiotic in decapod crabs is unknown. Thus, the present study aims to investigate the sodium metabisulphite LC50 - 96

The microbial landscape in bioturbated mangrove sediment: A resource for promoting nature-based solutions for mangroves. [PDF]
Microb Biotechnol, 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.

Intraspecific interactions in the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Decapoda: Ocypodidae) during the metamorphosis and post-metamorphosis periods under laboratory conditions [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011 Current efforts for restocking natural populations of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) in Brazil have focused on developing a methodology for stimulating the metamorphosis of U. cordatus larvae at a large scale.

Microbiological Quality Assessment by PCR and Its Antibiotic Susceptibility in Mangrove Crabs (Ucides cordatus) from Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [PDF]
Int J Microbiol, 2016 The bacteriological quality of crabs from three different mangroves (Itaóca, Suruí, and Piedade) from Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, was investigated using conventional and molecular methods. The results revealed high counts for total coliforms in meat and hepatopancreas samples.

sexual shape dimorphism of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) (Decapoda, Ucididae) accessed through geometric morphometric. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2014 Sexual dimorphism is often observed in Crustaceans. Considering the great diversity of this subphylum, only few reports are found in the literature and most are mainly based on traditional morphometry. The present study uses geometric morphometrics analysis to identify sexual dimorphism by shape variation in the overexploited semiterrestrial crab ...

Reproductive behavior of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Crustacea; Brachyura; Ucididae)
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2012 The aim of the present work was to study the reproductive behavior of the mangrove crab (Ucides cordatus) in the estuary of the Igaraçú River (Piauí, Brazil). Courtship and mating were observed in December 2007 and in January-March 2009.

Mangrove-Crab Blood Cells Proliferate In Vitro and Display Neuronal Proteins Following Pituitary-Extract Stimulus. [PDF]
Dev NeurobiolABSTRACT In this study we propose a cell‐culture protocol to better comprehend the involvement of immune/blood cells (hemocytes) in the adult neurogenesis of crustaceans. We examined whether the hemocytes of the crab Ucides cordatus may develop into neural cells in response to an in vitro stimulus. The experiments involved two steps. First, we selected

Macrogenetics Approach Reveals Spatial Trends and Drivers of Mitochondrial Genetic Diversity at Different Biological Organization Levels in Tropical Western Atlantic Decapods. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThere is a knowledge gap concerning the genetic diversity distribution across marine invertebrates, and whether the latitudinal genetic diversity gradient results from congruent intraspecific trends. Our results indicate higher genetic diversity in lower latitudes is correlated to productivity and oxygen levels, but does not represent the accumulation ...
