The life cycle of the semiterrestrial mangrove crab Ucides cordatus includes pelagic larvae that are released into estuarine waters during the wet season and who may thus encounter potentially stressful low and variable salinity conditions. The effec... Read More about Salinity tolerance of northern Brazilian mangrove crab larvae, Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae): Necessity for larval export?.

Litter processing and population food intake of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus in a high intertidal forest in northern Brazil (2006)
Journal Article
Nordhaus, I., Wolff, M., & Diele, K. (2006). Litter processing and population food intake of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus in a high intertidal forest in northern Brazil. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 67(1-2), 239-250. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2005.11.022

This study provides the first quantification of the population food intake of the litter-consuming mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae, L. 1763) in a New World mangrove forest. Diet, feeding periodicity, gastric evacuation rates and size-depend...
