A new species of hermit crab, Diogenes heteropsammicola (Crustacea, Decapoda, Anomura, Diogenidae), replaces a mutualistic sipunculan in a walking coral symbiosis
Symbiont shift is rare in obligate mutualisms because both the partners are reciprocally dependent on and specialized to each other. In the obligate accommodation-transportation mutualism between walking corals and sipunculans, however, an unusual saltatory symbiont shift was discovered. In shallow waters of southern Japan, an undescribed hermit crab species was found living in corallums of sol...
متن کاملA new species of the hermit crab genus Diogenes (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Diogenidae) from southern India.
A new species of the hermit crab genus Diogenes Dana, 1851 (Diogenidae), D. canaliculatus, is described and illustrated on the basis of material from off the Kerala State, southern India. It is referred to the D. edwardsii (De Haan, 1849) species group, and compared with D. bicristimanus Alcock, 1905, D. fasciatus Rahayu & Forest, 1995, D. laevicarpus Rahayu, 1996 and D. moosai Rahayu & Forest,...
متن کاملA new species of the hermit crab genus Paguristes Dana, 1851 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Diogenidae) from southwestern India.
A new species of the hermit crab genus Paguristes Dana, 1851 (Diogenidae), P. luculentus, is described and illustrated on the basis of three male specimens collected from off the Kerala State, southwestern India.

متن کاملA new genus and new species of hermit crab (Crustacea: Anomura: Paguroidea: Diogenidae) from the eastern tropical Pacific
Tetralobistes gen. nov., a presently monotypic genus of hermit crab of the family Diogenidae, is described to accommodate a new species, Tetralobistes bicentenarius sp. nov. In many characters, Tetralobistes gen. nov. is similar to Areopaguristes Rahayu & McLaughlin, 2010, Paguristes Dana, 1851, and Pseudopaguristes Mclaughlin, 2002. However, it differs most significantly in the morphology of t...
متن کاملSpermatophore transfer in the hermit crab Clibanarius vittatus (Crustacea, Anomura, Diogenidae).
Although mating has been described in several hermit crab species, the mechanics of spermatophore transfer have not previously been demonstrated. Evidence from pleopod and gonopore morphology, video observations, and inseminated females indicates that in Clibanarius vittatus the male applies a spermatophoric mass directly onto the female via the gonopores rather than with modified pleopods 1-2 ...
