HABITAT PREFERENCES OF GULF COAST FIDDLER CRABS AND RESPONSES OF PLANT AND SOIL CHARACTERISTICS TO THEIR BURROWING
Research in salt marshes dominated by the grass Sporobolus alterniflorus indicates that plant characteristics affect fiddler crab burrowing and in turn, crab activity can enhance primary productivity by increasing soil oxygen and nutrient cycling. Crab-plant interactions are less understood in micro...
