Abstract

Gecarcinus quadratus is a land crab preyed upon by some species, but there is little information about the genera and species of these predators. This scientific note presents the first record of Aramides cajaneus preying upon G. quadratus. This observation occurred during daylight in May 2021 in Costa Rica, and contributes to the knowledge about the natural history, behavior and ecology of these species.
