The respiratory system of Ocypode cordimanus consists of seven pairs of gills, modified for aerial gas exchange, and a single pair of lungs. Each lung is formed from the inner surface of the branchiostegite and the thoracic wall of the branchial chamber. The branchiostegal surface is increased by a

## Abstract The effects of inorganic ions and of the hydrogen ion on oxygenβbinding properties of most respiratory pigments are opposite. The addition of salt to the medium increases oxygen affinities, and the addition of H+ decreases oxygen affinities of crustacean hemocyanins. These oxygenation p
## Abstract The rates of body water loss and the maximum tolerable losses in the three IndoβPacific species of land crab (__Gecarcoidea lalandii, Cardisoma carnifex__ and __Birgus latro__) were similar to those of other terrestrial decapod crustaceans of marine origin. During dehydration, the haemo
## C T I O N Src Homology 2 (SH2) domains are protein modules of about 100 amino acids in size which are found in a large number of proteins involved in signal transduction. The function of SH2 domains is to specifically recognize the phosphorylated state of tyrosine residues, thereby allowing SH
