The strong chelar growth in brachyuran male makes the reproductive behavioral display efficient, because they use it to manipulate the female during mating as well, and male with large chelae has an advantage in partner selection especially in semi terrestrial and terrestrial crabs, where visual and tactile stimuli are most important for couple formation (Pinheiro and Fransozo, 1999; Goes et al., 2000).
