Love songs in the sand: Researchers listen in to fiddler #crab courtship https://phys.org/news/2025-04-songs-sand-fiddler-crab-courtship.html

Constraints on percussive seismic signals in a noisy environment by European #FiddlerCrabs, Afruca tangeri https://journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/228/7/jeb249323/367607/Constraints-on-percussive-seismic-signals-in-a

"For fiddler #crabs, vibrational signals are a crucial part of their courtship routines... males with larger claws produced higher-energy seismic signals, with higher amplitude drumming spikes. This appears to prevent the male from being dishonest about their size"

This pattern would match that of two other #fiddlercrabs where a species with a broad Pacific range was found to contain a cryptic species restricted to the Fiji to French Polynesia region, Gelasimus excisa vs. Gelasimus jocelynae and Austruca citrus vs. Austruca perplexa.

An #introduction

I'm a computational evolutionary biologist and data scientist, Director of the Center for Biological Data Science at Virginia Commonwealth University.

My research is eclectic and covers a broad range of taxa and topics, but often returns to #fiddlercrabs when I get bored.
