Fiddler Crabs Home

Phylogeny

The phylogeny of fiddler crabs is still largely unresolved. Two trees are shown below: one of just the genera and one including all species. The tree of genera is fairly solid, but the species tree is a rough estimate with many polytomies. Both are predominantly based on the work of Shih et al. (2016).
