Brachyuran crabs are the most conspicuous macrobenthic fauna in Brazilian mangrove forests and salt marshes. This chapter presents basic information about the habitat, spatial distribution, and most remarkable biological features of 36 species from t...

Measuring and understanding sustainability-enhancing processes in tropical coastal and marine social–ecological systems (2023)
Book Chapter
Glaser, M., Ferse, S., Christie, P., Diele, K., Dsikowitzky, L., Nordhaus, I., Schlüter, A., Schwerdtner Mañez, K., & Wild, C. (2023). Measuring and understanding sustainability-enhancing processes in tropical coastal and marine social–ecological systems. In B. Glaeser, & M. Glaser (Eds.), Coastal Management Revisited: Navigating towards Sustainable Human-Nature Relations (83-93). Cambridge Scholars Publishing

Tropical coastal and marine social–ecological systems (CM-SES) are diverse, complex and dynamic. They face special challenges as hotspots of biodiversity and centres of population growth. Sustainability science focuses on the state of such systems an...

Mangrove forests provide many services, some of which are used mostly or exclusively by local people, often the relatively poor and marginalised. Here, such ‘local ecosystem services’ are defined as those benefitting people living zero to tens of kil... Read More about Mangroves and People: Local Ecosystem Services in a Changing Climate.

Comparing life history variations between species helps understanding how different life history patterns may have evolved (Begon M, Harper JL, Townsend CR (1996) Ecology. Blackwell Science, Oxford). Here, we compare central aspects of the dynamics a... Read More about Comparative population dynamics and life histories of North Brazilian Mangrove crabs, Genera Uca and Ucides (Ocypodoidea)..

Simulating Ucides cordatus population recovery on fished grounds. (2010)
Book Chapter

The recovery of fishing grounds of Ucides cordatus populations in the Caeté Peninsula is a recurrent process due to individual movements. However, these movements could not be observed in the field. A pattern-oriented modeling approach was used to in... Read More about Simulating Ucides cordatus population recovery on fished grounds..
