Background Information   Uca minax  is a fiddler crab species commonly found along the United States' East Coast. All fiddler male fiddler crabs, regardless of the species, have a major claw, a claw that is significantly bigger than their other claw. This can be on either side, allowing a male fiddler crab to be characterized by either being left- or right-clawed. The minax species have horizontal indentations behind their compounded eyes, meaning their eyes are atop a stalk. Continuing, this species of fiddler crabs is brown and gray with red joints that connect the claws to the carapace and has eight walking legs that vary between being a light brown or dark green (Bethany Fisher). Fiddler crabs live in coastal wetlands in the intertidal regions of the coast, meaning seawater from the ocean periodically floods their habitat based on the high and low tides. Coastal wetlands are divided into the following three subsections: the high marsh, midshore, and low marsh. The ...

Testing & Results

Image
Introduction             The hypothesis tested during this longitudinal study of the  Uca minax  fiddler crab species at Spermaceti Cove on Sandy Hook, New Jersey is as follows:  The  Uca minax  fiddler crab species located at Spermaceti Cove on Sandy Hook, New Jersey will increase as the years go on. The null hypothesis for this study is as follows: There will be no difference in the  Uca minax  population at Spermaceti Cove on Sandy Hook, New Jersey over the years. The hypothesis was tested using the same method that was used in previous years in order to mitigate error and increase the accuracy of the study.             This longitudinal study is important, as fiddler crabs are an indicator species; there is a direct correlation between their population stability and the health of their habitat. Should their habitat be un...
