No place to call home: Distribution patterns of the tufted ghost crab, Ocypode cursor, populations in nature reserves, Israel, Eastern Mediterranean

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 ...

Thermal Ecology of Ocypode quadrata and Pachygrapsus crassipes using Infrared Thermography [PDF]

, 2021
Temperature is crucial to the optimal functioning of most physiological and behavioral processes in animals. For ectothermic crabs that inhabit shorelines, temperature fluctuations and anomalies pose a challenge for maintaining optimal body temperature ...

Influence of substrate color on color change in ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata (FABRICIUS, 1787)

, 2023
The use of cryptic coloration to avoid detection is one of the most widespread anti-predation strategies in nature, and can be achieved efficiently by changing color to adjust the animal's appearance to the background.

Biotic and abiotic factors affecting Atlantic ghost crab (Ocypode quadrata) spatiotemporal activity at an important shorebird nesting site in Virginia.

PLoS ONE
Atlantic ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrata) are predators of beach-nesting shorebird nests and chicks on the United States' Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Ghost crabs may also disturb birds, altering foraging, habitat use, or nest and brood attendance patterns ...
