Journal ArticleDOI
Faunal impact on vegetation structure and ecosystem function in mangrove forests: A review
Stefano Cannicci,Damien Burrows,Sara Fratini,Thomas J. Smith,Joachim Offenberg,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas +6 more
TL;DR: The Ocypodidae have now been shown to have the same role as Sesarmidae in terms of retention of forest products and organic matter processing in New world mangroves and it seems likely that ants have positive effects on mangrove performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mangroves give cause for conservation optimism, for now

Wee +30 more
TL;DR: The results of conservation efforts for mangrove forests in recent years are discussed, with a focus on coastal mangroves in Southeast Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of urban wastewater on crab and mollusc assemblages in equatorial and subtropical mangroves of East Africa
Stefano Cannicci,Fabrizio Bartolini,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas,Sara Fratini,Carlos Litulo,Adriano Macia,E. M'rabu,Gil Penha-Lopes,José Realino de Paula +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, differences in macrobenthos patterns were investigated between peri-urban mangroves and sites not affected by sewage disposal in East Africa, showing that domestic wastewater has detectable effects on crabs and molluscs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic differentiation in the mud crab Scylla serrata (Decapoda: Portunidae) within the Indian Ocean
Sara Fratini,Marco Vannini +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of molecular variance, FST statistics and χ2 contingency analysis of spatial distribution of mtDNA haplotype frequencies revealed in toto a significant genetic differentiation among populations, suggesting that gene flow might be reduced, even between geographically close sites, despite the high potential for dispersal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogeny of grapsoid crabs (Decapoda, Brachyura) and allies based on two mitochondrial genes and a proposal for refraining from current superfamily classification
TL;DR: It becomes evident that both superfamilies, Grapsoidea and Ocypodoidea, are not monophyletic in their current composition, as exemplified by a proposed sister group relationship of Varunidae and Macrophthalmidae.
