“…While researchers have addressed some aspects of systematics (Costa, 2006(Costa, , 2011, evolutionary history (Costa et al, 2010;Tatarenkov et al, 2009Tatarenkov et al, , 2011, and geographic distribution (Sarmento-Soares et al, 2014;Lira et al, 2015), there is little available information regarding natural history, ecology and population dynamics. Despite the large gap in our knowledge of the biology of K. hermaphroditus, the recent studies above mentioned, including the present one, suggest some interesting perspectives for studies on evolution, morphology, behavior and physiology across the species' wide geographic distribution in the mangroves of the Brazilian coast.…”
