The effect of starvation on the metabolism of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas

Influence of temperature on intraspecific, unbalanced dyadic contests between crabs

“…This result can be explained by differential oxygen limitation thresholds experienced by small and large aquatic ectotherms in warm conditions, being harsher for the latter (Bell, Davidson & Scarborough, 1968; Hart, 1980). Therefore, smaller crabs might have been less limited by oxygen than bigger ones in the contests that took place at warm conditions, corroborating previous findings (Marsden, Newell & Ahsanullah, 1973). High water temperature can also affect the hemolymph’s oxygen carrying capacity, which worsens individual reactions to hypoxia, and increases its vulnerability to other stressors (Camus et al, 2004; Dejours, Toulmond & Truchot, 1985).…”

Detecting sex‐related differences in mesograzer feeding experiments: An often overlooked source of intraspecific variation in herbivory

“…Basal metabolism differs between large and small animals (Brown et al ; Glazier ; White and Kearney ). Such allometric scaling results in a negative relation between metabolic rate and mass, as it has been characterized previously for some crabs (Roberts ; Dehnel ; Marsden et al ; Full and Herreid ). However, factors other than body mass can explain metabolic variation better, making generalizations for marine invertebrates more elusive (Seibel and Drazen ).…”

Comparison of Energy Budget of Cockroach Nymph (Hemimetabolous) and Hornworm (Holometabolous) under Food Restriction

“…Most studies on ectothermic animals' energy budget under low food supply focus on non-growing animals [34][35][36][37][38][39][40] or the growth and metabolism of a population, instead of individuals [41,42]. However, limited data on growing ectothermic animals support our hypothesis.…”
