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

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

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

Crab burrowing activity impacts several important biogeochemical processes within mangrove forests. Burrow morphology has been shown to be variable between brachyuran families, hence the community structure and composition of burrowing crabs may have
