Shell Selection in the Hermit Crab Clibanarius signatus Heller, 1861 from the Larak Island in the Persian Gulf
Shell selection indices of the dominant hermit crab Clibanarius signatus Heller, 1861, in the Larak Island were studied from September 2011 to June 2012. Among 739 sampled specimens, 41 different gastropod shell types were selected as shelters based on their abundance and local availability. A significant positive correlation (P<0/01) was found between the dimensions of the hermit crab, Cli...
متن کاملEffects of Predation, Competition, and Isolation on the Rate of Shell Selection in the Hermit Crab Pagurus Longicarpus
S 81 increased population size of both species and expansion of the boreal forest, a likely result of global climate change, have caused areas of geographic overlap to occur. The Trumpeter and Tundra Swans are known to be reproductively compatible, as a viable hybrid population exists in Virginia at the Airlie Center’s Swan Research Program (SRP). Further, accounts from local wildlife managers ...
متن کاملShell occupation by the endemic western Atlantic hermit crab Isocheles sawayai (Diogenidae) from Caraguatatuba, Brazil.
The aim of this study was to characterize the pattern of shell occupation by the hermit crab Isocheles sawayai Forest and Saint-Laurent, 1968, from the Caraguatatuba region. The percentage of shell types that were occupied and the morphometric relationships between hermit crabs and occupied shells were analyzed from systematized collections that were conducted monthly from July 2001 to June 200...
متن کاملOntogeny of shell-related behaviors and transition to land in the terrestrial hermit crab Coenobita compressus
The marine megalopa of the terrestrial hermit crab Coenobita compressus wears a small gastropod shell that it carries onto land before metamorphosing into a juvenile crab. This paper gives the first detailed account of temporal shifts in shell-related behaviors that occur as the megalopa approaches metamorphosis. Megalopae placed in individual containers shortly after metamorphosing from the la...
متن کاملYearly shifts in shell quality for the hermit crab Pagurus longicarpus in coastal Massachusetts
Global warming is expected to result in milder New England winters. In this study we monitored changes in hermit crab shell quality at Nahant, Massachusetts, USA, at intervals during 17 yr between 1997 and 2014 for a single species of hermit crab Pagurus longicarpus occupying the shells of the intertidal periwinkle Littorina littorea. The incidence of hermit crabs occupying damaged shells, shel...
