Mangrove crabs are crabs that live in and around mangroves. They belong to many different species and families and have been shown to be ecologically significant by burying and consuming leaf litter.[1][2][3][4] Mangrove crabs have a variety of phylogenies because mangrove crab is an umbrella term that encompasses many species of crabs.[5] Two of the most common families are sesarmid and fiddler crabs.[6] They are omnivorous and are predated on by a variety of mammals and fish.[7][8] They are distributed widely throughout the globe on coasts where mangroves are located.[9][10] Mangrove crabs have wide variety of ecological and biogeochemical impacts due to the biofilms that live in symbiosis with them as well as their burrowing habits.[11][12][13] Like many other crustaceans, they are also a human food source[14] and have been impacted by humans as well as climate change.[15]
