Abstract

Ghost crabs inhabit in self-constructed burrows on sandy beaches from backshore to foreshore. Ocypode rotundata is one of three species of the genus occurring in the Persian Gulf and Oman Gulf. The males of O. rotundata creates sand pyramid exactly in front of the burrow towards the seaward during the breeding season for attraction of female crabs. They play important roles in the ecology of sandy beaches of Qeshm Island.
