Aim: Current trend of climate changes may affect biodiversity by shifting species distributions patterns. Uca crabs, keystone species of intertidal estuarine sediments, are supposed to shift their spatial distribution by ...

Crabs of the genus Uca are important benthic macrofauna in estuarine environments. Several Uca species coexist on intertidal mud- and sand-flats where they feed on microorganisms or sediment debris. Species have relatively ...
