DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.02.014
Abstract: The influence of social context in animal signals can lead to complex communicational patterns. In particular, the interaction between individuals can lead to intriguing collective dynamics, such as the temporal synchronization of signals. A fascinating… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2016.12.011
Abstract: Abstract Fiddler crab burrow morphologies in tidal flat ecosystems depend largely on physical characteristics of the soil. Herein, we aimed to examine the relationship between soil texture profiles and the burrow depths and morphologies of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2016.09.018
Abstract: Abstract A female preference for a conspecific over a heterospecific mating signal is seldom questioned. The ability of females to differentiate between conspecifics and heterospecifics, however, requires testing because we know, from the handful of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1163/15685403-00003779
Abstract: We examined the effects of mudballs around burrows and of sex on burrow characteristics (shape, diameter, length, depth and volume) in an underground mating fiddler crab species, Austruca annulipes (H. Milne Edwards, 1837). We investigated… read more here.
