The complexity of mangrove habitats, habitat heterogeneity, and the patchiness of crab assemblages could introduce potential confounding factors that make detection of physical disturbance impacts on mangrove crab assemblages difficult. This study categorized

Coastal marine ecology is, quite properly, increasingly focussed on experimental tests of hypotheses about processes. These are, however, done to explain observations and patterns. It is therefore appropriate to be able to publish quantitative observations

In mangroves, species specific spatial habitat zonation preference of fiddler crabs could influence the functioning of mangrove ecosystems. Spatial zonation of fiddler crabs in tropical Malaysian mangroves across different temporal scales has not been

A new species of Paracleistostoma De Man, 1895, P. meilanense n. sp. is reported from mangroves forests in Haikou, Hainan Province, China. The new species inhabits mud burrows in the upper intertidal zone and is sympatric with P. tomentosa Yang and
