Mate choice hypotheses usually focus on trait variation of chosen individuals. Recently,
mate choice studies have increasingly attended to the environmental circumstances …

Despite the important roles of assortative mating for understanding evolutionary processes,
our knowledge on the variation in assortative mating across populations and breeding …

Understanding the spatial patterns of reproductive biology might provide predictions about
fitness and population stability in different locations within the geographical range of a …

Reduction of aggressiveness toward familiar neighbors, when compared to aggressiveness
toward unfamiliar strangers, can decrease the costs of territory defense. This phenomenon is …

Among the organic matter ingested by fiddler crabs, microphytobenthos is of fundamental
importance because it is their main N source. Microphytobenthos abundance generally …

Fiddler crab burrow morphologies in tidal flat ecosystems depend largely on physical
characteristics of the soil. Herein, we aimed to examine the relationship between soil texture …

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of stocking density on growth performance,
nutritional quality, and immune-related gene expression of Eriocheir sinensis and water …

Many intertidal species are expanding their distribution limits towards the poles as a
consequence of increased temperature due to climate change. At the same time, some …

Male fiddler crabs own an enlarged claw which is a weapon and an ornament. The
enlargement of this claw begins from the juvenile stage and continues throughout life. Males …

Animal reproductive success implies the performance of several behaviours, such as
courting, mate searching, copulation, offspring production and care. These behaviours …
