Ghost crab (Ocypode quadrata) modify their behavior during mirror exposure

Behavioural Processes
Recently, ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrata) were shown to exhibit behavior consistent with passing the mark test, which implies the capacity for self-recognition. Considering this, it seems reasonable to suggest these animals can also distinguish their mirror image from different social stimuli, such as live conspecifics.

Microstructural determinants of mechanical properties in exoskeletons: a comparison between hydrothermal vent crab and ghost crab

The exoskeleton of crabs serves functions in protection, support, and sensing. Among the microstructures that compose the exoskeleton, the Bouligand structure is known to contribute to its mechanical properties. Previous research on the influence of microstructures on the mechanical properties of the crustacean exoskeleton has primarily focused on ...

Haunted waters : an estimate of ghost fishing of crabs and lobsters by traps

2009
Ghost fishing is the mortality caused by lost fishing gear and as such, its effect on target populations is difficult to quantify. This study seeks to rectify that by developing a methodology to estimate the effect of ghost fishing by lost pots and traps on large crustaceans (crabs and lobsters).
