Behaviour and time allocation of the mud shrimp, , during the tidal cycle: a laboratory study

Résumé

Despite the numerous ecological and behavioural studies, relatively little is known about the behavioural dynamics of during the tidal cycle. In the present study, the behaviour of was observed in the laboratory in a tide-simulated aquarium, and time allocation of the different activities was quantified. Overall, the surface activity was low and showed a steep decline after submersion. A clear tide-based cyclic pattern was found, with a boost of activity immediately after first submersion, continuing during submersion, and shifting over a period with decreasing activity towards almost total inactivity at the end of emersion.
