Ghost crab populations respond to changing morphodynamic and habitat properties on sandy beaches

Acta Oecologica, 2015
The morphodynamic state and habitat properties of microtidal sandy beaches largely account for variations in macrofauna structure. In ecological theory, the habitat harshness hypothesis and the habitat safety hypothesis explain variations in macrofauna

The impact of chasing stress on the metabolism of the Atlantic Ghost Crab Ocypode quadrata (Fabricius, 1787).

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2023
Ocypode quadrata, a Ghost crab species found along the western Atlantic coast, is considered a bioindicator of anthropogenic impact on sandy beaches.

Beach morphodynamics modulate the effects of multidirectional habitat loss on population density and size structure of the Atlantic ghost crab Ocypode quadrata.

Marine Environmental Research, 2023
Sandy beaches are land-sea transitional habitats experiencing 'multidirectional' habitat loss due to coastal developments (e.g. armoring and/or conversion of natural vegetation into manmade structures) and beach erosion.

Acoustic Interneurons of Fiddler and Ghost Crabs

Physiological Zoology, 1976
The properties of acoustic interneurons in fiddler (Uca pugilator and U. minax) and ghost (Ocypode quadrata) crabs are described, as revealed by tests with pure tones. Three types of interneurons were present in all species: tonic, which fired for the duration of the stimulus; phasic, which fired briefly at the onset of stimulation; and inhibited, in ...

Like night and day: Reversals of thermal gradients across ghost crab burrows and their implications for thermal ecology

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2018
Ghost crabs, Ocypode cordimanus, inhabit relatively hostile environments subject to thermal fluctuations, including both diurnal and seasonal cycles.

Notes on the Behavior of the Ghost Crab

The American Naturalist, 1946
PROTECTIVE coloration and habits have interested most biologists. Few of the very many articles on these topics mention a remarkable example among the crustaceans. Certainly the ghost crab is large enough to be noticed easily, and is common from Atlantic City to Rio de Janeiro, on beaches where people vacation every summer and should have time for ...
