Fiddler Crabs face numerous natural predators throughout their life cycle. Birds, particularly shorebirds, are common predators, preying on the crabs when they are foraging on mudflats. In water, they are vulnerable to fish and aquatic predators, while on land, they must be wary of mammals and reptiles.
14 Σεπ 2023 · These resilient crustaceans face predation from a variety of predators, including birds, fish, and larger crab species. To evade being captured, fiddler crabs have evolved a keen sense of vision and the ability to quickly dart into their burrows for protection.
1 Μαρ 2005 · To test whether such models could be applied to a prey animal with restricted sensory capabilities, I explored the predator avoidance behaviour of the fiddler crab Uca vomeris by approaching crabs with small dummies intended to mimic a hunting tern. The crabs responded strongly and reliably to the simple dummies.
19 Νοε 2019 · This study used male fiddler crabs (Austruca mjoeburgi) and a simulated avian predator that performed a low swoop over the crab habitat. Fiddler crabs occupy and defend territories that contain a burrow which serves as a mating site and a refuge from predators.
22 Νοε 2022 · We quantified predator-prey interactions between the predatory varunid crab and the prey fiddler crab from field observations. We demonstrated that fiddler crabs adjusted their distance from their burrows according to the predator-prey distances.
1 Ιουλ 2017 · Fiddler crabs use the visual horizon to distinguish predators from conspecifics: a review of the evidence.
15 Ιουν 2022 · Fiddler crabs provide an excellent opportunity to investigate the role of visual attention in predator avoidance, particularly for understanding how species with relatively simple neural...
