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 ...
Does the presence of the SW Atlantic burrowing crab Chasmagnathus granulatus Dana affect predator–prey interactions between shorebirds and polychaetes?
(Elsevier Science, 2003-07)
The burrowing crab Chasmagnathus granulatus is an important bioturbator that generates dense burrow assemblages (crab beds) characteristic of intertidal habitats of SW Atlantic estuaries. Crab bioturbation affects the ...
Orientation and external morphology of burrows of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Crustacea: Brachyura: Ucididae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-09-01)
The aim of the present study was to characterize the external morphology and the orientation of burrows constructed by the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus. Data were obtained from two mangrove forests of similar vegetation ...

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 ...
Regenerative bioturbation by intertidal burrowing crabs modifies microphytobenthic composition and enhances primary production in SW Atlantic mudflats
(Inter-Research, 2019-12)
In coastal systems, benthic microalgae are important primary producers that significantly contribute to global primary production. Microphytobenthic (MPB) community structure and the ecosystem functions that it mediates ...
