Impacts of Microenvironment On Distributions and Activities of Bacteria In A Salt Marsh Environment
… Infaunal burrows produced by the fiddler crabs Uca pugilator and Uca pugnax are abundant features of southeastern United States salt marshes. These water-filled burrows become significantly enriched in Vibrionaceae, and specifically Vibrio parahaemolyticus (4875 CFU mL-1), relative to creek …

… that show what affect this has on fiddler crabs (Uca spp.), a key species in salt marsh habitats. The present study looks at how human impacts are affecting juvenile fiddler crab densities, shell use, and species compositions. This study was conducted at 3 low and 3 high impact sites on Tybee and …
