PO2 and pH changes in the retina of the crab Ocypode ryderi: evidence for aerobic glycolysis
The isolated retina of the terrestrial crab Ocypode ryderi exhibits a pronounced lactate production in spite of being supplied with sufficient O2 (140 torr). To determine whether this lactate production is caused...

Energy Releasing Metabolism in the Compound Eyes of the Ghost Crab, Ocypode
The large compound eyes are the most prominent sensory organs of ghost crabs. They allow a 380° visual field with stereoscopic parts in front and behind the animal. In these crabs, which live predominantly ter...

Aerobic Glycolysis in the Retina of the Crab Ocypode Ryderi
Higher crustaceans (Malacostracan) possess compound eyes of a similar type as insects (apposition eyes). They consist of several thousands of ommatidia, each composed of a cornea followed by the dioptric appar...

Oxygen and Glycolysis in the Retina of the Compound Eye of a Crab
The retina is–like other parts of the nervous system–a tissue with a high demand for oxygen. There is a very good supply in vertebrate retinas (from both sides of the retina in mammals) and a tracheol for each...
