Influence of shells on mating behavior in the hermit crab Calcinus tibicen [PDF]
Populations of the intertidal hermit crab Calcinus tibicen were observed in the laboratory and reproductive behaviors recorded. Of the 218 interactions, 68 resulted in copulation(s). Male and female sizes were positively correlated.
