Ocypodidae
The Ocypodidae is a family of semiterrestrial crabs that includes ghost crabs and fiddler crabs. These crabs are found along tropical and temperate shorelines worldwide. Some genera previously classified within the Ocypodidae family have been reclassified into separate families within the superfamily Ocypoidea, such as Dotillidae and Macrophthalmidae. In 2016, the genus Uca was divided into 13 genera through the elevation of its subgenera to genus status, among other taxonomic changes. Further refinements have been made to the family's organization, resulting in 4 subfamilies, approximately 13 extant genera, and around 180 described species as of 2020. The majority of the Ocypodidae species are fiddler crabs, the exceptions being the members of the genus '' Ocypode'', ghost crabs, and the genus '' Ucides'', mangrove crabs. Genera These genera belong to the family Ocypodidae: * '' Afruca'' Crane, 1975 * '' Austruca'' Bott, 1973 * '' Cranuca'' Beinlich & von Hagen, 2006 * '' G ...

Austruca Annulipes
''Austruca annulipes'' is a species of fiddler crab found along the coastline from South Africa to Somalia, Madagascar, India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. ''Austruca annulipes'' was formerly in the genus ''Uca'', but in 2016 it became a member of the genus ''Leptuca'', a former subgenus of ''Uca''. They are relatively small crabs, and can be seen feeding in the evening at low tide. The males and females differ in size and appearance: the larger males are endowed with a brightly colored front claw. Compared to the females (and even the smaller male ''Uca annulipes'' crabs), the male ''Austruca annulipes'' crabs spend the most time excavating their burrows. House crows are known to prey upon these crabs, which are quick to hide in their burrows at the slightest hint of danger.

Austruca Perplexa
''Austruca perplexa'' is a species of fiddler crab. It is found from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan to India, throughout the Malay Archipelago, along eastern Australian coasts from Queensland to New South Wales, and in various Pacific islands, including Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu. ''Austruca perplexa'' was formerly in the genus '' Uca'', but in 2016 it was placed in the genus ''Austruca'', a former subgenus of ''Uca''. As in other fiddler crabs, the male has a greatly enlarged claw, which is used for signalling. The higher the claw is waved by the male, the greater his chance of attracting a female; the size of the claw is therefore subject to sexual selection Sexual selection is a mechanism of evolution in which members of one sex mate choice, choose mates of the other sex to mating, mate with (intersexual selection), and compete with members of the same sex for access to members of the opposite sex .... Furthermore, larger male fiddler crabs wave their claws at a faster rate than ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
