Fig. 1 in Salinity Variation in a Mangrove Ecosystem: A Physiological Investigation to Assess Potential Consequences of Salinity Disturbances on Mangrove Crabs

Fig. 1. Characteristics of the study site. (A) Location of the Comoros archipelago and Malamani mangrove (Mayotte Island). (B) Detailed view of the Malamani mangrove and Neosarmatium meinerti and Tubuca urvillei collection zones. Continuous line indicates the upper limit of the Ceriops tagal belt while the discontinuous line represents the approximate limit between the C. tagal and Rhizophora mucronata belts. The red dot corresponds to the position where pictures E and F were taken. Areas marked in red and blue represent the collection sites for N. meinerti and T. urvillei, respectively. (C) Schematic representation of the mangrove structure, representing the habitats of the two crab species. (D) General view of the mangrove (area marked in red in subpanel B) at high tide. E-F: General view of the rivulet at low tide during a dry day (E) and after rainfall (F).
