Visual signalling and sexual selection in male fiddler crabs
Similar to many other species of fiddler crabs, the interactions of Uca tangeri are influenced by 2 characteristic visual signals: the waving d~sp lay performed by males with their enlarged claw, and the building of structures (mudballs) around the burrow entrance. This study focused on male signalling, male-male competition and female mate choice Female choice and male mating success were inve...
متن کاملFiddler crabs
What are fiddler crabs? Fiddler crabs belong to the genus Uca. They are members of the ocypodid family of brachyuran crabs, the most recent marine animals to have invaded land. They spend the first part of their life as aquatic plankton and only settle in the intertidal zone after their last larval moult. Adults live in burrows on intertidal mudand sand-flats within dense, mixedage, mixed-sex a...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولSexual dimorphism in airway responsiveness to sex hormones in rabbits.
TO THE EDITOR: Recently, Massaro and Massaro (4) demonstrated a sexual dimorphism of alveolar size in male and female adult rats and mice and that estrogen receptor (ER)and ERare required for this sexual dimorphism. Our group recently showed that a similar phenomenon of sexual dimorphism presents in airway responsiveness to sex hormones in rabbits. We studied the direct effect of sex hormones (...
متن کاملRobotic crabs reveal that female fiddler crabs are sensitive to changes in male display rate
Males often produce dynamic, repetitive courtship displays that can be demanding to perform and might advertise male quality to females. A key feature of demanding displays is that they can change in intensity: escalating as a male increases his signalling effort, but de-escalating as a signaller becomes fatigued. Here, we investigated whether female fiddler crabs, Uca mjoebergi, are sensitive ...
