Title

Systematics and biogeography of fiddler crabs – A special issue in Zoological Studies

Abstract

Fiddler crabs are a fantastic group of intertidal brachyuran crabs and the research fields in biodiversity, phylogeography, phylogenomics, and larval biology of fiddler crabs are still in developing stages. In this special issue, seven articles are included focusing on the diversity, phylogeography, mitogenome phylogeny and larval morphology of fiddler crabs, covering the regions of Indo-West Pacific and Americas. Results from this special issue open up further opportunities to study new species identification based on integrative taxonomy approach, genomic-level phylogeny and larval morphology, especially the mitogenomes in the genera Cranuca, Gelasimus, Paraleptuca, and Uca for filling up the knowledge gap of fiddler crabs in the world.
