Die winkgebärde von uca und minuca (brachyura) in vergleichend-ethologischer, -ökologischer und -morphologisch-anatomischer betrachtung

Quantitative analysis of size‐dependent variation in the fiddler crab wave display(Uca pugilator,brachyura, ocypodidae)

“…A small number of investigators have attempted a description of wave formats (Altevogt, 1955;Peters, 1955;Schone and Schone, 1963). Crane was perhaps the first to describe the waving behavior of a group of tropical (1941), and later (1943), temperate fiddlers.…”

Zur ökologie der polychaeten des mangrove‐estero‐gebietes von El salvador

“…a) Die freien Wattflächen des polyhalinen Estero-Bereichs Die freien Wattflächen des mittleren Estero-Abschnitts, deren' Wasser Salzgehaltswerte zwischen 29,3 °/ 00 und 22,3 °/ 00 aufweist, entsprechen etwa dem Abschnitt, den PETERS (1956) als Uca-Zone bezeichnet. PETERS weist mit Recht auf die Heterogenität dieser Zone hin, die vor allem durch die unterschiedliche Substratausbildung charakteristisch ist.…”

Fiddler crabs and their above-ground sedimentary structures: a review

“…The construction process is similar for all male and female builders (Table 1): crabs stack mud/muddy sand at the edge of the burrow entrance using their pereiopods and chelipeds (Shih et al 2005;Gusmão-Junior et al 2012). The source of chimney material is varied; some chimney builders use sediment dug Table 1 A summary of fiddler crabs that build above-ground sedimentary structures and their general characteristics (builder and sedimentary structure): clade (AEP: Atlantic-East Pacific, IWP: Indo-West Pacific), genus, species, front (B: broad, I: intermediate, N: narrow), sex (M: male, F: female, BS: both sexes), structure, function, type of study (E: experimental, O: observational, E/O: both), type of sediment used to build structures and associated references (bs: both sediments, T. capricornis, T. elegans and T. flammula) Crane (1975), Kim and Choe (2003), Kim et al (2004), Yamaguchi et al (2005, Muramatsu (2009), Muramatsu (2010a, 2010b), Kim et al (2010Kim et al ( , 2017, Zhu et al (2012) IWP Austruca A. mjoebergi (Rathbun, 1924 Günther (1963), Crane (1975), Oliveira et al (1998), Latruffe et al (1999), Burford et al (2000, 2001a, 2001b, 2001c), Cummings et al (2008 IWP Gelasimus G. tetragonon Peters (1955), Zucker (1974),…”

“…Authors have used different terms for the same structures built by fiddler crabs. Peters (1955) and Montague (1980) attributed chimney building ("towers") to M. pugnax; while, both Crane (1975) and Greenspan (1982) showed that this species builds hoods. Crane (1975, page 284) observed chimney building behavior in one population of L. stenodactylus in the Panama Canal Zone, but Müller (1989) called Christy, pers.…”
