Pola Dominansi Capit pada Uca spp. (Dekapoda:Ocypodidae)
Abstrak: Uca spp. are unique
crab species marked with asymmetry cheliped. Major and minor cheliped has
different function. The size of Major cheliped are several times of the minor
ones (cheliped dominance pattern). Each species has different pattern of
cheliped dominance. This study was to know the pattern of cheliped dominance on
three Uca species. Major and minor cheliped length from twenty male individuals
of U. dussumieri, U. vocans and U. perplexa were examined. The pattern of
Cheliped dominance was obtained by comparing the major cheliped length to minor
cheliped length. The two-tailed single sample t test showed similar cheliped
dominance pattern within Uca species (P>0.001). While Kruskal-Wallis test
showed different cheliped dominance pattern between Uca species (P>0.001).
The cheliped dominance pattern of U. dussumieri, U. vocans and U. perplexa are
5.09, 4.24 and 4.75.
