“…Yellow-crowned Night-Herons are specialists on crustaceans and feed on the abundant fiddler crabs in this bioregion. Interestingly, the density of large Mexican fiddler crab burrows in Estero Santa Cruz was almost identical to that found for sand fiddler crabs (U. pugilator) and mudflat fiddler crabs (U. rapax) combined (47.93 m -2 ) in a study conducted in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA (Smith et al 2009). Overall, considering that we monitored wading birds in about 40% of the total area of Estero Santa Cruz (though this represents a higher percentage when accounting only for suitable potential nesting habitat), the survey estimates presented here should be considered a minimum; accordingly, it would be of interest to survey additional areas of the estero with a focus along the mangrove tidal channels.…”

“…Em manguezais do norte do Brasil, a baixa densidade de plantas de manguezal em áreas aterradas indicou que a recuperação da vegetação nesses ambientes é lenta (SOUZA & SAMPAIO, 2001). Smith et al (2009) encontraram relação positiva do aumento das alturas, diâmetros dos troncos e biomassa foliar de Laguncularia racemosa com a densidade de espécies de caranguejos do gênero Uca em manguezais da Flórida (Estados Unidos). A hidrografia, nutrientes e textura do sedimento são considerados os fatores que influenciam os padrões de distribuição da macrofauna bentônica em manguezais mais bem preservados, apesar de a estrutura dessas comunidades ser caracterizada pelas baixas abundância e diversidade (SAMIDURAI et al, 2012).…”

“…About 6,793 valid species, including 93 families and 38 subfamilies have so far been discovered worldwide [5]. In this group, fiddler crabs particularly are considered to be the most abundant [6]. They form an important link between the primary detritus at the base of the food web and consumers of higher trophic levels [7].…”
