Abstract

César Herrera studied the functions of intertidal crabs in estuarine mudflats in Townsville. He developed a novel workflow and software that use computer vision to monitor crab movement and behaviour. His analytical framework is more effective than traditional sampling techniques, and it will help ecologists to gather more and better ecological information on crabs.
