Resumen:
Neohelice granulata regularly leaves water and travels beyond the high tide mark to forage on terrestrial resources such as Spartina spp. plants, which they climb on to feed on their soft parts. Early physiological studies have shown that individuals of this species maintain an active rate of oxygen consumption (V ̇O2) for several hours during air exposure (Dezi et al. 1987; Santos et al. 1897). These terrestrial excursions require physiological and structural adaptations to efficiently exchange respiratory gases in air, which is essential for maintaining an elevated aerobic metabolism required for locomotion.
