Taphonomic significance of hermit crabs (Anomura: Paguridea): Epifaunal hermit crab — Infaunal gastropod example

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1988
Abstract As secondary inhabitants of gastropod shells, hermit crabs (Anomura: Paguridea) can influence the preservation potential and resulting fossil record of gastropod shells and can modify the paleoecological information left on the shells. The fossil record of hermit crabs is almost non-existent (occasional chelipeds) and does not illuminate the

The Strawberry Hermit Crab experiment is useful to understand more about the repercussions of nutrient depletion on atolls with invasive species- particularly Tiaraunu and Tahuna Iti. With the understanding of the crab species' eating habits, we can determine how nutrients are cycling within a certain area.
