Resumo(s)
We measured temporal and spatial components
of the waving display in a Uca tangeri population to look for inter-individual differences in male waving structure
that may convey information about individual identity. We found evidence that the spatial components of wave structure, especially “Maximum amplitude” are responsible for most of the between-male variation of the display. This
variation could reflect differences in individuals’ condition and/or could be used by conspecifics to discriminate amongst familiar and unfamiliar individuals.
