Spatial distribution of the ghost crabOcypode quadratain low‐energy tide‐dominated sandy beaches [PDF]
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 ...

Metabolic rates in the squareback marsh crab Armases cinereum. [PDF]
We show that the flatback marsh crab Armases cinereum has relatively high rates of energy use. This likely limits the ability of this species to act as a vector for energy subsidies between salt marsh and forest habitats, as has previously been hypothesized. Abstract Metabolic rate is a basic individual metric that extends beyond the individual to link

Discrete element models for understanding the biomechanics of fossorial animals. [PDF]
The dynamics (forces, work, and soil displacements) of burrowing by North American Badger were predicted for different forms of badger claw and manus, using numerical models. The results indicate that the modern manus with 5 digits has indeed advantages.

On the evolution of trophic position. [PDF]
We discuss the sources of intraspecific variation in trophic position and highlight that variation among individuals is not only determined by the food web context but also by genetic factors underpinning associated fitness‐relevant traits. We argue that trophic position, measured at the individual level, can be studied as a heritable quantitative ...

We used location data from GPS‐collared red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) to examine spatial responses of foxes to predator exclosure setup and hatching at piping plover (Charadrius melodus) nests. We compared the mean distances between red fox locations and piping plover nests, and the proportions of red fox locations within a 100‐m buffer around these nests,
