Suction-induced habitat selection in sand bubbler crabs [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 We show that a decapod crustacean, the sand bubbler crab (SBC) Scopimera globosa, uses suction, which is the tension of moisture in the sediment, to select habitats at normal times and at the time of disaster events, through a range of controlled ...
