Table 2. Maximal metabolic rate of crabs.

	0 day	4 days	8 days	R
Maximal metabolic rate (MMR) (mg O₂ kg h⁻¹)	160.2 ± 13.5^ab	198.7 ± 17.5^b	155.5 ± 13.8^a	139.5 ± 12.7^a
Scope	2.5 ± 0.2^a	3.2 ± 0.2^ab	4.6 ± 0.6^b	2.4 ± 0.2^a

Notes:

Maximal metabolic rate (mg O₂ kg h⁻¹) and the scope of the response (maximal metabolic rate/resting metabolic rate) of land crabs following 0, 4, and 8 days of dehydration followed by recovery, R after 1 day access to water. The values represent the mean + SEM of eight animals.

Different letters denote significant differences at p < 0.05.
