Reed Parrotbill nest predation by tidal mudflat crabs: Evidence for an ecological trap?
Ecosphere, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 1-12, January 2015., 2015 Understanding the relationships between nesting habitat quality and predation risk is essential for developing appropriate conservation management for threatened species. This is particularly relevant where anthropogenic pressures could decouple the environmental cues used by birds to assess nesting habitat quality from increased predation risk.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 167-175, June 2014., 2014 The domestic cat Felis silvestris catus is considered a potential threat to the native fauna of regions it populates, particularly when it has free access to these areas. Although this problem is known in Brazil, little is known regarding the effects of this species on natural areas.

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 ...

Density and spatial distribution of the crab Ocypode quadrata (Fabricius, 1787) (Crustacea, Ocypodidae) on three sandy beaches of Espírito Santo, Brazil [PDF]
Biotemas, 2008 The relative density (number of burrows/m2) and spatial distribution of the crab Ocypode quadrata were evaluated on three sandy beaches of Vila Velha-ES: Itaparica, Itapoã and Praia da Costa.

Anthropogenic Disturbance Threatens the Endangered Tufted Ghost Crab, Ocypode cursor
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT The tufted ghost crab, Ocypode cursor, native to the southeastern Mediterranean and subtropical Atlantic Ocean, is a key bioindicator species, providing valuable insights into the health and stability of sandy beach ecosystems through its population dynamics, behaviour and interactions with the environment. Sandy shores along the Mediterranean

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigated low American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) productivity in the Virginia barrier islands, which historically supported high oystercatcher reproductive success. We found that chick survival was lower than nest survival, and that management may need to adapt to address evolving threats from coastal flooding and a multi‐guild ...

Latitudinal Variation in the Timing of Nest Predator Activity Is Habitat Specific
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Aim The goal of this work was to investigate whether the community of avian nest predators shifts from nocturnal to diurnal with changes in latitude. This hypothesis was formulated 70 years ago, under the rationale that longer day length during the bird breeding season at high latitudes increases opportunities for visual predators.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2024.Abstract The once plentiful population of the tufted ghost crab, Ocypode cursor, a legally protected species, suffered a steep decline along the densely populated Mediterranean coast of Israel. Here we assessed the effects of recreational disturbance on crab populations in three sandy shore nature reserves and adjacent bathing beaches with differing ...
