The cost of incline locomotion in ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrata) of different sizes
Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2011It is well established that the metabolic cost of horizontal locomotion decreases as a regular function of animal body mass, regardless of body form and phylogeny. How body size affects the cost of incline exercise remains much less clear. Studies on vertebrates have led to the hypotheses that the cost of vertical work is independent of body mass and ...

On the rapid running of ghost crabs (Ocypode ceratophthalma)
Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1969AbstractSpecimens of the ghost crab, O. ceratophthalma, ran at 1.825 ± 0.09 m/second on the sandy shore of the Flinders Islands and 2.33 ± 0.14 m/second on the deck of the R/V Alpha Helix. Specimens of Pachygrapus transversus ran at 0.92 ± 0.06 m/second on the ship's deck. Sex did not affect speed. O.
