招潮蟹（招潮蟹属）已被广泛用作生物研究的几个领域的实验动物。它们的行为，特别是社会交流，长期以来一直吸引着动物行为学家和进化生物学家的注意。起重机（1975）总结了这些领域的最新进展。已知有60多种，分布在热带和温带。它们面临着适应不同潮汐状态（巴恩韦尔，1968，1976; Powers，1975）、温度模式（Vernberg，1969）、盐度和基质成分（Teal，1958）的各种问题。蟹类还被用于内分泌学（Fingerman，1974）、遗传学（Selander等人，1971年），和神经生理学（凯悦，1975年;鲑鱼和Horch，1976年）的调查，并作为测定生物评估污染物对行为和生存在海洋栖息地的长期影响（Krebs和伯恩斯，1977年）。从这些研究中出现的一个重要的概括是，在行为和生理过程中存在许多物种典型的差异。因此，有必要准确识别物种，以便进行有效的相关性和未来的比较。该集团的系统学，主要基于形态特征（例如，Rathbun，1918;起重机，1975），可能无法提供一个准确的评估物种的独特性，至少对这些形式
The fiddler crabs (Genus Uca) have been widely used as experimental animals in several areas of biological research. Their behavior, especially social communication, has long attracted the attention of ethologists and evolutionary biologists. Recent progress in these fields was summarized by Crane (1975). There are over 60 known species, ranging through the tropics and the temperate zone. They face diverse problems of adaptation to different tidal regimes (Barnwell, 1968, 1976; Powers, 1975), temperature patterns (Vernberg, 1969), salinity and substrate composition (Teal, 1958). The crabs have also been used in endocrinological (Fingerman, 1974), genetic (Selander et al., 1971), and neurophysiological (Hyatt, 1975; Salmon and Horch, 1976) investigations, and as assay organisms for evaluating the long-term effects of pollutants upon behavior and survival in marine habitats (Krebs and Burns, 1977). An important generalization emerging from these studies is that there are many species-typical differences in behavior and physiological processes. It therefore becomes necessary to identify species accurately so that valid correlations and future comparisons can be made. The systematics of the group, based primarily upon morphological characters (e.g., Rathbun, 1918; Crane, 1975), may not be able to provide an accurate assessment of species distinctiveness, at least for those forms
