The use of claw colour and pattern for species recognition in the fiddler...
Australian National University
In the fiddler crab Uca mjoebergi, males attract females to their burrows by waving their enlarged yellow claw. Colour is clearly involved in species recognition in U.... -
Burrow tenure in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis
Australian National University
Crabs sometimes vacate their territories due to continued harassment by their neighbours. To determine whether male-female pairs were longer lasting than male-male pairs, we... -
Ocean temperatures over time estimated from planktonic foraminifera...
Australian National University
In recent years the term 'enhanced greenhouse effect' has become well known in modern society and yet aspects of this possible 'future climate' are poorly understood. The... -
The relative abundance (%) of planktonic foraminifera over time in core MD...
Australian National University
The advent of deep-sea drilling in the 1950's prompted the use of planktonic foraminifera (unicellular protozans) as palaeoceanographic indicators. They provide a natural... -
Natural male-female interactions and territoriality in the fiddler crab Uca...
Australian National University
The behaviour of U. capricornis is not well-known. Consequently, observations were made for approximately 1100 hours over 4 seasons to obtain a general picture of their social... -
The age versus depth profile for core GC04, located off the coast of New Caledonia
Australian National University
Core GC04, was collected from the southeastern side of the New Caledonian Basin (22.99965 S, 166.150716 E). The age of the sediment at each sample depth was determined by... -
Quantifying the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time in...
Australian National University
The calcareous tests of Globigerina bulloides are analysed to quantify the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time at core site MD032607 (137.4065 E, 36.9606... -
Age vs. Depth of core BAR 9403 (located off the coast of Sumatra). Age has...
Australian National University
The age with depth of core BAR9403 is calculated through 18O values, which are then correlated with the SPECMAP age-model. Based upon these measurements the age at the deepest... -
The fiddler crab Uca mjoebergi uses colour vision in mate choice
Australian National University
The walking legs, carapaces and chelae of ocypodid crabs, particularly the well-studied fiddler crabs, are often brilliantly coloured. However, despite this array of colours... -
Quantifying the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time in...
Australian National University
This short core obtained off Sumatra (BAR9403, 5.82 S, 104.0316 E) records the palaeoceanography from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the present day. The lightest 18O value... -
The percentage breakdown of carbonate/non-carbonate fractions in core GC04,...
Australian National University
Core GC04, was collected from the southeastern side of the New Caledonian Basin (22.99965 S, 166.150716 E). Carbonate percent in the curve has an average value of ~79% and... -
Sex ratio and distribution within a large population of the fiddler crab Uca...
Australian National University
The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether females may be a limited resource within a population of Uca capricornis. The experiment was part of a larger study... -
Quantifying the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon through time in...
Australian National University
Core GC04 was collected from the southeastern side of the New Caledonian Basin. In relation to isotopic composition there appears to be a correlation between 13C and 18O... -
Radiolarian abundance counts on Last Glacial Maximum core samples
Australian National University
Abundance counts by taxon of radiolaria from six Eastern Indian Ocean core samples dated to the last glacial maximum. The samples were selected because they were also used for... -
Visually mediated neighbour recognition in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis
Australian National University
Mating signals are often directed at numerous senses, and provide information about species identity, gender, receptiveness, individual identity and mate quality. Given the... -

Size-assortative pairing in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis
Australian National University
A unique relationship exists between neighbouring males and females in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis. This experiment was designed to examine whether the nearest female or... -

Colour changes associated with moulting in the fiddler crab, Uca capricornis
Australian National University
The purpose of the experiment was to quantitatively examine the colour changes associated with moulting in the fiddler crab, Uca capricornis. Experiments were conducted in the...
