SUMMARY:

The ecology of mangrove ecosystems has advanced since Robertson's study (1986)
which demonstrated significant results of the role played by grampsid crabs in
mangroves, through the retention of leaves in burrows. Currently it is known that the
galleries built by crabs for shelter and food reserve, alter the distribution of sediment
particles, increase the contact surface between air and sediment and alter redox
conditions, temperature and salinity. In addition, evidence shows the contribution of
sesarid and ocipodid crabs in nutrient cycling processes in the ecosystem due to the
retention, macerated and burial of garbage and epileptic microalgae carpet. On the other
hand, vegetation influences the occurrence of bioturbating crabs, either due to the food
preference highlighted for some plant species or by the offer of shelter and protection
for the construction of burrows. Thus, the present study aimed to raise the state of the
art of research relating crab and mangrove population biology, to highlight trends and
gaps in mangrove ecology answering the following questions: (i) trend of studies
relating mangrove structure and population of bioturbadores crabs, (ii) journal that most
published the theme, (iii) partnership between authors and countries, (iv) continents of
the study sites (v) zonation, (vi) studied crab species, (vii) biological levels (viii)
sediment collection, (ix) main method of crab and vegetation collection.
