VARIASI KARAKTER KUANTITATIF KEPITING Uca annulipes (BRACHYURA: OCYPODIDAE) di KEPULAUAN INDONESIA
ABSTRACT: Uca annulipes
are deposit feeder
crab which is
widely distributed in
Indonesian mangrove areas. The
systematic study of
the species completely
based on the
qualitative character
without the quantitative
one. This study
describes the variation
in quantitative characters of
U. annulipes from
different locations in
Indonesia. Descriptive method
with univariate and multivariate analyses based on quantitative
character ratio was used in this study.
The univariate analysis
showed that the
highest value of
either the quantitative character or quantitative
character ratio was found from the western Indonesian population. Meanwhile,
the multivariate analysis
showed that U.
annulipes from western
Indonesia, Sulawesi, and Nusa Tenggara have a discrete cluster.
