Skeletal muscle fiber types in the ghost crab,Ocypode quadrata:implications for running performance [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009 SUMMARYGhost crabs possess rapid running capabilities, which make them good candidates for comparing invertebrate exercise physiology with that of more extensively studied vertebrates. While a number of studies have examined various aspects of running physiology and biomechanics in terrestrial crabs,none to date have defined the basic skeletal muscle ...

Variation in the body growth parameters of the ghost crab Ocypode quadrata from morphodynamically distinct sandy beaches [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2017 Investigations of patterns of distribution of sandy beach macrofauna show that dissipative beaches tend to concentrate higher richness and biomass at the intertidal zone, as well as better fitness and larger sizes of a species, than reflective beaches ...

Spatial distribution of the ghost crabOcypode quadratain low‐energy tide‐dominated sandy beaches [PDF]
Journal of Natural History, 2005 The spatial distribution of the ghost crab Ocypode quadrata (Crustacea, Brachyura) was described in five low‐energy tide‐dominated sandy beaches in Sao Sebastiao Channel (Grande, Zimbro, Pitangueiras, Cabelo Gordo, and Segredo). On each beach, the zonation study was performed on five random 1 m wide transects sampled from the water line to the ...

Atlantic ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrata) as coastal bioindicators: assessing human impact across the South Atlantic Bight [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionSandy beach ecosystems are increasingly threatened by human activity, making it critical to effectively evaluate their health. While this has often been done using an urbanization index (a tool that quantifies the level of human impact) and a ...
