Survival on a semi-arid island: submersion and desiccation tolerances of fiddler crabs from the Galapagos Archipelago

During tidal cycles, semi-terrestrial fiddler crabs are subject to alternating periods of submersion and desiccation. Here, we compare physiological and biochemical adjustments to forced submersion and desiccation in two fiddler crabs from the Galapagos archipelago: the indigenous Leptuca helleri, a...
