Burrow morphology of Uca uruguayensis and Uca leptodactylus (Decapoda: Ocypodidae) from a subtropical mangrove forest in the western Atlantic
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-09-01)
The continuous excavation of burrows by fiddler crabs generates bioturbation in the sediment, which can be estimated from burrow morphology. The aim of the present study was to describe the burrow morphology of Uca ...
Issues to Be Considered in Counting Burrows as a Measure of Atlantic Ghost Crab Populations, an Important Bioindicator of Sandy Beaches
(San Francisco, 2013-12)
The use of indirect estimates of ghost-crab populations to assess beach disturbance has several advantages, including non-destructiveness, ease and low cost, although this strategy may add some degree of noise to estimates ...
Wolf spider burrows from a modern saline sandflat in central Argentina: Morphology, taphonomy and clues for recognition of fossil examples
(PeerJ Inc., 2018-06)
Pavocosa sp. (Lycosidae) burrows found in an open sparsely vegetated area on the edge of the Gran Salitral saline lake, in central Argentina, are described. Burrows were studied by capturing the occupant and casting them ...
Mating system of the burrowing crab Neohelice granulata (Brachyura: Varunidae) in two contrasting environments: Effect of burrow architecture
(Springer, 2012-07)
Few studies conducted in crustaceans have demonstrated how habitat features could shape the mating systems. Here, the burrow of Neohelice granulata was considered as a resource used for mating, and its architecture was ...
Inferring the mating system in the burrowing shrimp Lepidophthalmus bocourti (Decapoda, Axiidea, Callichiridae) from the social structure and sexual dimorphism
(2021-06-01)
Abstract: Most burrowing shrimps (infraorder Axiidea and Gebiidea) are characterized by solitary habits, which led many of these species to evolve a remarkable sexual dimorphism both in body size and chelipeds because of ...
Nutritional quality of diet and academic performance in Chilean students Qualité nutritionnelle de l’alimentation et résultats scolaires des lycéens chiliens Calidad nutricional de la dieta y rendimiento académico de los estudiantes chilenos
(World Health Organization, 2016)
© 2016, World Health Organization. All rights reserved.Objective To explore associations between the nutritional quality of diet at age 16 years and academic performance in students from Santiago, Chile. Methods We assessed ...
Monogamy in the Burrowing Shrimp Axianassa australis Rodrigues & Shimizu, 1992 (Decapoda, Gebiidea, Axianassidae)
(2022-01-01)
Our knowledge of the mating systems in burrowing shrimps (infraorders Axiidea and Gebiidea) is still rather limited. Here we describe the burrow use pattern, sex ratio, and sexual dimorphism of the burrowing shrimp Axianassa ...
Habitat Selection by Burrowing Owls Athene cunicularia in the Pampas of Argentina: A Multiple-Scale Assessment
(Museum & Inst Zoology, 2016-12)
Human-induced habitat changes have been typically linked to negative effects on native species, but an increasing number of studies show that many species are unaffected by these changes or even benefited from them. The ...
