Abstract
Limb buds can be transplanted intra‐ and interspecifically in the fiddler crabs, Uca pugnax and Uca pugilator. These two species differ morphologically, behaviorally, and physiologically. This technique provides a method for examining the relative roles of host and donor tissues in studies of morphology and behavior.
