Mangrove production and carbon sinks: A revision of global budget estimates. (2008)
Journal Article
Bouillon, S., Borges, A. V., Castañeda-Moya, E., Diele, K., Dittmar, T., Duke, N. C., …Twilley, R. R. (2008). Mangrove production and carbon sinks: A revision of global budget estimates. Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 22, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007GB003052

Mangrove forests are highly productive but globally threatened coastal ecosystems, whose role in the carbon budget of the coastal zone has long been debated. Here we provide a comprehensive synthesis of the available data on carbon fluxes in mangrove... Read More about Mangrove production and carbon sinks: A revision of global budget estimates..

Metamorphosis of mangrove crab megalopae, Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae): effects of interspecific versus intraspecific settlement cues (2008)
Journal Article
Simith, D. D. J. D. B., & Diele, K. (2008). Metamorphosis of mangrove crab megalopae, Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae): effects of interspecific versus intraspecific settlement cues. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 362, 101-107. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jembe.2008.06.005

It has recently been shown that metamorphosis of Ucides cordatus megalopae is triggered by substrata from the mangrove forest habitat, and, in particular, adult conspecific odours. Here we demonstrate that the gender of the odour-emitting crabs is in...

The effect of salinity on the larval development of the uca-crab, Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) (Decapoda: Ocypodidae) in northern Brazil. (2008)
Journal Article
Simith, D. D. J. D. B., & Diele, K. (2008). The effect of salinity on the larval development of the uca-crab, Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) (Decapoda: Ocypodidae) in northern Brazil. Acta amazonica, 38, 345-350

The present work studied the effect of salinity on the survival and duration of larval development of the mangrove crab, Ucides cordatus (from the Caeté River estuary, North of Brazil) until the megalopal phase in seven salinity treatments (0, 5, 10,...
