As discussed by these and other authors, these structures are almost certainly associated with a more efficient respiration, possibly when the animals are hiding under muddy or sandy habitats. It remains unknown how exactly how these concavities, grooves, and chambers work. When the ambulatory legs are appressed against the carapace, the only space left is a small gap just above P4 (
