Published: 15 January 2000
...Stephen Morris; Peter Greenaway; Agnieszka M. Adamczewska; Mark D. Ahern ABSTRACT The terrestrial robber crab Birgus latro L. regulates the composition of its final excretory product (termed P) depending on the availability of dietary salt by reabsorbing ions from urine passed over the gills...

Salt and Water Relations, and Nitrogen Excretion, in the Amphibious African Freshwater Crab Potamonautes Warreni in Water and in Air

S. Morris, W. J. Van Aardt
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1998) 201 (6): 883–893.
https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.201.6.883
Published: 15 March 1998
...S. Morris; W. J. Van Aardt ABSTRACT Mechanisms of salt and water conservation, and nitrogen excretion, were investigated in the freshwater amphibious crab Potamonautes warreni from the High Veld of South Africa. Adaptations to fresh water were assessed as pre-adaptations to air-breathing...
