Lift and Drag Acting on the Shell of the American Horseshoe Crab (Limulus polyphemus).

This study provides a preliminary foundation for assessing the relationship between documented morphological variation and potential environmental variation for distinct populations of horseshoe crabs along the Atlantic Coast. It also motivates future studies which could consider the stability of the horseshoe crab in unsteady, oscillating flows. PMID: 31435839 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
