Aim To reassess the capacity of mangroves for ecosystem services in the light of recent data.
Location Global mangrove ecosystems. Methods We review four long‐standing roles of …

Larval development in brachyuran crabs includes a number of zoeal stages followed by a
single megalopal stage. Zoeae and megalopae are relatively strong swimmers, and …

Activity patterns, feeding and burrowing behaviour of the economically important semi-
terrestrial mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Ucididae, L. 1763) was studied in a high …

The presence of boundaries to dispersal has been recently documented for many Indo-West
Pacific (IWP) species with planktonic propagules and a widespread distribution. We studied …

Spawning migrations are an important life-history event for many species of commercially
important tropical reef fishes and decapod crustaceans. Spawning aggregations are highly …

Reliable estimates of growth and mortality parameters are crucial for understanding how
populations of exploited species may respond to shifts in fishing pressure. Results of …

Almost all demersal tropical teleost fishes have pelagic larvae that may disperse, in common
with most tropical marine decapod larvae. The degree to which behavior and sensory …

Animals use sensory stimuli to assess and select habitats, mates, and food as well as to
communicate with other individuals. One of the great mysteries of crustacean ecology is how …

Marine and freshwater ecosystems differ in persistence, size, population connectivity, and
the variance in physical and biotic conditions they experience. These differences may select …
