Abstract

1.Male Uca pugilator whose major cheliped was immersed in 3°C water bath experienced a significant drop in Tb. Thus, the enlarged claw of male Uca pugilator may have an unexplored function: thermoregulation.2.Crabs prefer warmer substrates (19–24 and 28–30°C) over cooler (15–17°C).3.Mean selected temperature (MST) may not be an accurate reflection of Tb. Crabs in a thermal chamber preferred temperatures between 25 and 30°C but their average Tb was 23.2°C.
