Combined effects of polyethylene spiked with the antimicrobial triclosan on the swamp ghost crab (Ucides cordatus; Linnaeus, 1763).

Chemosphere, 2022
Domestic sewage is an important source of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems and includes both microplastics (MPs) and pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). This study sought to assess the biological effects of the interaction between plastic

The Ecology of Ghost Crabs

2014
Ever-increasing interest in oceanography and marine biology and their relevance to global environmental issues creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarising the results of recent research. Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review has catered to this demand since its founding by the late Harold Barnes fifty years ago.

Combined influence of human disturbance and beach geomorphology on Ghost Crab, Ocypode cursor, burrow density and size in the eastern Mediterranean

Zoology in the Middle East, 2022
Ghost Crabs, Ocypode cursor (Linnaeus, 1758), are used as a bioindicator species to evaluate the ecological condition of sandy beaches. Studies using Ghost Crabs as bio-indicator have often focused on the influence of human disturbance and beach ...

Recognition of Individual Conspecifics: Evidence From a 3‐Chambered Test With Ghost Crab ( Ocypode quadrata )

Ethology
The ability to recognize conspecifics can benefit the fitness of species members through a number of avenues. But, for this trait to emerge through natural selection, their ecological context needs to be structured to exert the appropriate selection ...

Assessing benthic ecosystems using geological techniques: examples of a polychaete worm and ghost crab in beach sediments

Coastal Engineering Journal
For conserving sandy beaches, it is important to manage beach-sediment dynamics and preserve animals living there. Sandy beach invertebrate animals are characterized by high mobility, such as surfing clams and swimming crustaceans living in the foreshore

Responses of ghost crabs to habitat modification of urban sandy beaches

Marine Environmental Research, 2016
Sandy beaches in highly urbanised areas are subject to a wide range of human impacts. Ghost crabs are a commonly used ecological indicator on sandy beaches, as they are key consumers in these systems and counting burrow openings allows for rapid assessment of population size.

Don't tread on me: human trampling on a sandy beach alters behavior of the ghost crab, Ocypode stimpsoni.

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Human activities in coastal areas, such as trampling, are increasing hazards to benthic ecosystems. We hypothesized that trampling stressor disrupts the behavioral patterns of intertidal benthos and conducted an experiment on ghost crab Ocypode stimpsoni

Burrow occupation rates and spatial distribution within habitat of the ghost crab Ocypode quadrata (Fabricius, 1787): Implications for impact assessments

, 2021
The most conspicuous characteristic of ghost crabs (Crustacea: Ocypodidae) is the construction of semi-permanent burrows on the sand, widely used as tools for impact assessments.

Crab eating crab: first record of the Horn-eyed Ghost Crab preying on the Mottled Light-footed Crab in Visakhapatnam, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa
Predator-prey interactions are key ecological processes that regulate communities in the intertidal zone. Here, we report a previously unrecorded predation event in which the Horn-eyed Ghost Crab Ocypode brevicornis, which usually occupies the sandy ...

Orientation of the ghost-crab Ocypode in polarized light

Zeitschrift f�r Vergleichende Physiologie, 1963
1. Die Krabbe Ocypode ceratophthalma (Pallas) lebt im Sand der Gezeitenzone tropischer und subtropischer Meere im Indo-Pazifischen Raum. Die Jungtiere graben schrag nach unten fuhrende Gange, die sie zur Nahrungsaufnahme verlassen und wieder aufsuchen.
