Dr.
Jocelyn Crane (June 11, 1909 – December 16, 1998) was an American carcinologist, most famous for her research on the fiddler crab and her work with the New York Zoological Society’s (now the Wildlife Conservation Society) Department of Tropical Research. She became a key figure and expert in ethology – concentrating on the behavior of tropical animals, jumping spiders, praying mantises, butterflies and most importantly, fiddler crabs.
Her lifelong research on fiddler crabs—researching their morphology, systematics, biogeography and behavior—was published in her 1975 seminal work Fiddler Crabs of the World.
