Some species of the genus Metaplax belonging to the family Grapsidae have occasionally been reported to perform waving display that is a characteristic behavior in the family Ocypodidae but uncommon in grapsids. The morphology and life styles of species

Fatty acid biomarkers and dual stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) were used to identify the preferred food sources of consumers in a mangrove tidal creek and nearby unforested (mud bank) and forested areas located in the Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve
