Horseshoe crabs are an ancient lineage with an evolutionary history stretching back 450 million years (Ordovician period) and are generally considered to be examples of ‘living fossils.’ A paleontologist from West Virginia University has described a new genus and species of true horseshoe crab from a Silurian-age specimen unearthed in Indiana, the United States. The species bridges the 80-million-year gap …

Scientists apparently underestimated the aggression of itty-bitty male fiddler crabs when they deployed a friendly robot version during mating season. In a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, animal behavior researchers from the UK’s University of Exeter detailed the embarrassing end to their experiment with “Wavy Dave,” a 3D-printed, Bluetooth-controlled crab-bot trained to wave at its …

Wavy Dave the robot crustacean has been showing scientists how male fiddler crabs respond when they see a fellow crab waving. Famous for their enormous claws, the team made Wavy Dave blend in by giving him a huge claw of his own, only for it to get ripped off by a male crab. Before he was struck down, Wavy Dave’s …

In a remarkable discovery off the western coast of the Galápagos Islands, scientists have pinpointed a previously unknown hydrothermal vent field, thanks to a trail of ghostly crabs. For over 20 years, researchers had suspected the presence of this underwater feature but had struggled to identify its exact location. However, a team of researchers recently followed a series of squat …
