Has Ascension, an isolated volcanic peak on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, really had " land bridges" seriously posited for it since, say, c. 1970? Perhaps a direct quote in the footnote would shift the onus from Wiikipedia. -- Wetman ( talk) 21:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I'll be doing this review. It's especially interesting to me because I previously wrote on some Fernando de Noronha vertebrates ( Noronhomys and the Noronha skink). Ucucha ( talk) 20:56, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

The article badly needs a section on what was indeed the "sinister reputation" of these crabs - currently this appears mysterious & unexplained in the traveller's quote near the end. There was evidently a Victorian "horror-movie"-style trope around these creatures, accusing them of mass attacks on humans, even eating them alive. I remember this was still going in my childhood, with a large illustration, perhaps in Look and Learn, of a Victorian castaway keeping them at bay with an oar, at night. Scary stuff.
