Abstract:The decapod fauna on intertidal shores in northern Chile is characterized by its relatively high diversity and abundance due to the presence of continuous upwelling by the Humboldt Current, which results in a high productivity. The decapod fauna on intertidal rocky shores is characterized by coexisting species that inhabits in natural shelters such as cracks and eroded rocks, as well as among macroalgae. We aimed to monitor the brachyuran and anomuran (porcellanid) crabs in three intertidal sites during two pe… Show more
