Tidal and diel changes in the structure of a nekton assemblage in small intertidal mangrove creeks in northern Brazil (2004, background): “Koch (1999) and Koch and Wolff (2002) found the highest number of epibenthos organisms in the intertidal mangrove creeks where the benthos is rich in Uca spp. (Koch 1999; Koch and Wolff 2002), polychaeta (Acheampong, pers. comm.) and oligochaeta (Dittmann 2001).”
Salinity tolerance of northern Brazilian mangrove crab larvae, Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae): Necessity for larval export? (2006, background): “Approximately 140 km² of the Caeté peninsula is covered with mature mangrove forests densely populated by crabs, Ucides cordatus and fiddler crabs (Uca spp.) being the most abundant ones (Koch and Wolff, 2002; Diele et al., 2005; Koch et al., 2005).”
Mangrove macrobenthos: Assemblages, services, and linkages (2008, background): “the brachyuran crabs, on mangrove productivity, has been suggested (Smith et al., 1991; Koch and Wolff, 2002).”
Feeding ecology of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae): food choice, food quality and assimilation efficiency (2007, background): “In our study area the crab population contributes about 76% to the total faunal biomass of the mangrove forest ( Koch and Wolff 2002 ) and consumes 81% of the litter production (Nordhaus et al. 2006).”
