Reduced genetic diversity and alteration of gene flow in a fiddler crab due to mangrove degradation.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

Nehemia Alex, Kochzius Marc

Abstract excerpt

The fiddler crab Austruca occidentalis is a dominant species in mangrove forests along the East African coast. It enhances soil aeration and, through its engineering activities, makes otherwise-inaccessible food available for other marine organisms. Despite its importance, the habitat of A. occidentalis is threatened by human activities. Clearing the mangroves for salt farming and selective logging of mangroves...
