Allometric relationships of reproductive output were compared in 20 species from 7 families
of brachyuran crabs from the east and west coasts of North America, using regression …

The timing of larval release within reproductive seasons is synchronized by shorter
environmental periodicities, including light-dark, lunar, tidal, and tidal amplitude cycles …

Keystone species have large ecological effects relative to their abundance and have been
identified in many ecosystems. However, global change is pervasively altering …

Aratus pisonii commonly inhabits the supralittoral zone of roots, branches and canopy of the
red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle. Population dynamics and life history of this crab were …

The intertidal marsh community comprises both benthic and natant faunal components. The
benthic components are primarily small invertebrates residing within or on the soft …

Cyrtograpsus angulatus and Chasmagnathus granulata (Grapsidae) are the two dominant
decapod crustacean species in the outer parts of Mar Chiquita Lagoon, the southernmost in …

Die‐offs of cordgrass are pervasive throughout western Atlantic salt marshes, yet
understanding of the mechanisms precipitating these events is limited. We tested whether …

Life-history patterns in marine, limnic, and terrestrial brachyurans are reviewed to discern
special adaptations associated with transitions in life style. Among marine crabs, the …

The hypothesis that semilunar timing of larval release by fiddler crabs (genus Uca) results in
transport of the final larval stage (megalopa) by spring tide currents to substrates in the …

Three breeding trends were observed in mangrove grapsids and ocypodids from Mgazana.
First, significant changes were found from continuous breeding in the low shore …
