Cancer terrestris

Cancer terrestris^[1] est quilibet ex nonnullis stirpibus brachyurorum quae se evolverunt ut praecipue terram habitent. Exempla cancrorum terrestrium inveniuntur in familiis Gecarcinidarum et Gegarcinucidarum, atque in certis aliarum familiarum generibus, sicut Sesarma,^[2] sed vocabulum cancer terrestris saepe solum familiam Gecarcinidarum significare adhibetur.^[3]

Terrestrialitas et migratio

Non fit distinctio clara inter cancros terrestres, partim terrestres, et aquatiles.^[3] Potius, cancri veri continuum terrestrialitatis monstrant, quamquam cancri tantum ad terram maxime accommodati iam ad aquam ad solvenda ova redire debent.^[4] Nonnullae species cancrorum terrestrium multa chiliometra a mari inveni possunt, sed eis quotannis faciendum est migrationes ad mare.^[4] Exempli gratia, post hippalum Oceani Indici, singuli Gecarcoidearum natalis Insulae Christi Natalis per saturam migrant, vivam quidem cancrorum tapetam formantes. Haec animalia possunt migrare usque ad 1.46 chiliometra per diem, et usque ad 4 chiliometra in toto.^[5]

Oecologiae

Cancri terrestres ex brachyuris aquae dulcis saepe evoluti sunt, quia mutationes physiologicae ad vivendum in aqua dulci necessariae sunt praeaccommodationes ad vitam terrestrem.^[6] In nonnullis insulis oceanicis, cancri terrestres summam pyramidem energiae occupant.^[3]
