Influence of natural settlement cues on the metamorphosis of fiddler crab megalopae, Uca vocator (Decapoda: Ocypodidae).
Megalopae of many decapod crab species accelerate their development time to metamorphosis (TTM) when exposed to natural physical and/or chemical cues characteristic of the parental habitat. In the present study, the influence of natural settlement cues on the moulting rates and development TTM in megalopae of the fiddler crab Uca vocator was investigated. The effects of mud from different habit...
متن کاملSexual Differences in Foraging Behavior of Fiddler Crab, Uca sindensis (Decapoda: Ocypodidae)
Fiddler crab females have two small feeding claws while males have only one the other is enlarged and used as a weapon as well as a mate attraction signal. The study was conducted on the small intertidal fiddler crab Uca sindensis in the Abi estuary near Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf. Data were collected from September 2007 to August 2008 in order to cover a wide range of ecological conditio...
متن کاملLatitudinal diversity relationships of fiddler crabs: biogeographic differences united by temperature
Methods We digitized the ranges of fiddler crabs (Decapoda, Ocypodidae, genus Uca) and calculated standing diversity as a function of latitude in the Indowest-Pacific, eastern-Pacific Americas and western Atlantic regions. We examined correlations between diversity and summer sea surface temperature, water column primary productivity, and also investigated the contribution of spatial autocorrel...
متن کاملIntraspecific Variation in Carapace Morphology Among Fiddler Crabs (Genus Uca) From the Atlantic Coast of Brazil
Isolation due to geographical barriers should promote genetic and morphological divergence among populations. Marine currents flowing in opposing directions along landmasses can constitute barriers that isolate populations dependent upon aquatic dispersal. The distribution of fiddler crabs (genus Uca) is regulated primarily by the oceanic transport of their planktonic larvae and by available ad...
متن کاملContextual Cross-Referencing of Species Names for Fiddler Crabs (Genus Uca): An Experiment in Cyber-Taxonomy
Cyber-taxonomy of name usage has focused primarily on producing authoritative lists of names or cross-linking names and data across disparate databases. A feature missing from much of this work is the recording and analysis of the context in which a name was used--context which can be critical for understanding not only what name an author used, but to which currently recognized species they ac...
