other fiddler crab species release their
larvae biweekly, when the spring high tides occur at night.
Under a mixed tidal regime, the tides of
higher amplitude during the summer months occur in the afternoon ŽMorgan and
Christy, 1994, 1995.. Thus, females exposed to a mixed tide might release larvae at
night during an optimal phase of the light–dark cycle, or during the day when tidal
amplitudes are optimal. In previous studies fiddler crabs released at night regardless of tidal amplitude
