Abstract

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting her in person, I am one of the many crustacean biologists who had their first introduction to the field in the form of Jocelyn Crane's seminal 1975 work, Fiddler Crabs of the World . She spent much of her career studying the morphology, systematics, biogeography, and behavior of fiddler crabs and summarized virtually all knowledge about them in this single immense volume. Dr. Crane's contributions to the fields of crustacean biology and animal behavior were numerous, yet they represented only one aspect of her substantial body of work. It is hoped that this short overview of her career, and list of her papers and new taxa, will promote wider appreciation of the numerous contributions she made to the biological sciences. Jocelyn Crane was born June 11, 1909, in St. Louis, Missouri. She attended Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, graduating with a degree in Zoology in 1930. Immediately after graduation, she joined William Beebe and the staff of the New York Zoological Society's (NYZS) Department of Tropical Research as a research associate.
