Relative body size (carapace width) and weapon size (chela length) were used as indicators
of resource holding potential (RHP) in the agonistic behaviour of male shore crabs, Carcinus …

Weapon size has been shown to be a better predictor of competitive success than body size
(carapace width) in fights between shore crabs, Carcinus maenas. However, when the …

The effects of altering resource value on agonistic behaviour were investigated by staging
fights between pairs of male shore crabs, Carcinus maenas (L.) in the presence and …

A study was conducted to determine whether asymmetries in both resource-holding
potential (RHP) and resource value (RV) influence dominance and fighting behavior in the …

Abstract. The influence of the relative and absolute size of contestants on the agonistic
behaviour of velvet swimming crabs was investigated. The agonistic interactions conformed …

This article reviews three studies of agonistic interactions in pairs of swimming crabs
(Liocarcinus depurator and Necora puber) in which behavioural and physiological …

The value of contested resources (shells) in hermit crab fights depends on the sizes of the
crabs relative to the sizes of the resources. Thus when relative contestant size is the main …

Fights between male swimming crabs (Liocarcinus depurator) were studied in the laboratory
and in the field. These crabs fight readily in the laboratory, interactions being initiated …

We performed a field experiment to investigate the effect of carapace width, major cheliped
length and burrow ownership on the righting success of male fiddler crabs (Uca annulipes) …

We investigated among-male variation in courtship waving in the fiddler crab Uca annulipes.
Wave rate is positively correlated with both male carapace size and relative claw size …
