Journal Article
Diele, K., & Koch, V. (2010). Growth and mortality of the exploited mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Ucididae) in N-Brazil. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 395, 171-180. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jembe.2010.08.029

Reliable estimates of growth and mortality parameters are crucial for understanding how populations of exploited species may respond to shifts in fishing pressure. Results of previous studies on growth of the ecologically and economically important m... Read More about Growth and mortality of the exploited mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Ucididae) in N-Brazil..

Influence of natural settlement cues on the metamorphosis of fiddler crab megalopar, Uca vocator (Decapoda: Ocypodidae). (2010)
Journal Article
Simith, D. D. J. D. B., Diele, K., & Abrunhosa, F. A. (2010). Influence of natural settlement cues on the metamorphosis of fiddler crab megalopar, Uca vocator (Decapoda: Ocypodidae). Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 82, 313-321. https://doi.org/10.1590/S0001-37652010000200007

Megalopae of many decapod crab species accelerate their development time to metamorphosis (TTM) when exposed to natural physical and/or chemical cues characteristic of the parental habitat. In the present study, the influence of natural settlement cu...
