Mangroves are coastal ecosystems recognised by countless ecosystem services such nutrient cycling, biodiversity maintenance, breeding and nursery areas to flood control, storm protection, pollution control, shore-line stabilization and erosion control (Junk et al., 2014;Barbier, 2017).These features highlight the importance of mangroves for coastal populations considering that the presence of mangroves can make coastal communities more resilient to climate change and extreme events (Duarte et al., 2020).Among the diverse fauna present in mangroves, brachyuran crabs are considered as one of the most representative groups (Nagelkerken et al., 2008).
