Crab Species-Specific Excavation and Architecture of Burrows in Restored Mangrove Habitat

Burrowing crabs are considered to be ecosystem engineers, playing a vital role in mangrove ecosystems through bio-geochemical transformation. This process depends on the size and shape of burrows. The present study analyzes the architecture of burrows constructed by crabs in a restored mangrove habi...
