“…Embora diversas técnicas para a determinação da maturidade sexual encontrem-se disponíveis (COBB & CADDY 1989), a maioria despende muito tempo e envolve a danificação dos espécimes (GORE & SOTTO 1983). Por outro lado, estudos alométri-cos podem ser bastante eficientes e têm sido largamente utilizados com esta finalidade (e.g.…”

“…Some structures grow in distinct proportions to each other, which allow to observe differences in the growth rate when two body dimensions are compared (HARTNOLL, 1974). The extensive literature on the relative growth of brachyuran crabs presents the theorical basis on allometry (HARTNOLL, 1982;HUXLEY & RICHARDS, 1931;TEISSIER, 1933TEISSIER, , 1960WEYMOUTH & MACKAY, 1936), beyond some aspects related to the determination of size at onset of sexual maturity (WEYMOUTH & MACKAY, 1934;GORE & SCOTTO, 1983). The great number of papers developed about brachyurans relative growth are probably due to the possibility of estimating the sexual maturity in crabs, that is very useful, particularly, in the species of economic interest (LEWIS, 1977;PINHEIRO & FRANSOZO, 1993;MANTELATTO & FRANSOZO, 1994;SANTOS et al, 1995).…”

The relative growth of the fiddler crab Uca burgersi Holthuis, 1967 was analyzed in two populations from different mangroves (Ubatumirim and Cavalo rivers) in the southeastern Brazilian coast, monthly sampled from May, 2001 to April, 2002. The population from a high productivity level mangrove reaches the sexual maturity in larger sizes than the population from a less productive site. This results can be attributed to the greater amount of nutrients found in the Cavalo than in Ubatumirim mangrove

Groundwater depth and topography correlate with vegetation structure of an upland peat swamp, Budderoo Plateau, NSW, Australia

et al. 2014

Swamps, bogs and fens are diverse wetland ecosystems found worldwide. Within each region, different ecological processes and species dominate them, yet water levels and saturation of sediments appear key to the maintenance of vegetation and the ecosystem as a whole. Consequently, understanding how vegetation responds to water levels in these ecosystems is critical to their future management. This paper describes the floristic patterns observed in an upland swamp on the Budderoo Plateau, Southern Highlands, NSW, and relates the distribution of the vegetation communities to groundwater depth, soil type and site attributes. Three distinct vegetation assemblages were identified associated with (1) the main swamp axis, (2) the swamp margin and (3) the adjacent hillslopes. Elevation above the central swamp axis was the variable most strongly related to vegetation structure. Relative changes in elevation create a drainage gradient that allows higher elevation areas (hillslope and swamp marginal zones) to drain more readily than areas in the main swamp axis. Variation in vegetation was also related to median groundwater depth. Finally, soil organic matter content was a contributing factor with the swamp axis and marginal zones mostly having fibric, highly organic soils in contrast to the sandy, loamy soils on the hillslopes.
