Chromosome-level assembly for the complex genome of land hermit crab Coenobita brevimanus [PDF]
Scientific DataLand hermit crabs are a group of shell-carrying crabs that have evolved remarkable terrestrial adaptations in behavior, morphology, physiology, and biochemistry. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying these adaptations remain unclear.

Animal Welfare, 2023 Hermit crabs (Paguroidea; Latreille 1802) offer great opportunities to study animal behaviour and physiology. However, the animals’ size and sex cannot be determined when they are inside their shell; information crucial to many experimental designs. Here,

A Novel Hermit Crab optimization algorithm
Scientific Reports, 2023 Abstract The minimax problem in continuous high-dimensional spaces has been a challenge in optimization. Traditional optimization algorithms cannot balance well between depth search and breadth search in high dimensional search spaces. A new hermit crab optimization algorithm (HCOA) is introduced in this paper to address these problems ...

The hermit crab's nose—antennal transcriptomics [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 In the course of evolution, crustaceans adapted to a large variety of habitats. Probably the most extreme habitat shift was the transition from water to land, which occurred independently in at least five crustacean lineages. This substantial change in life style required adaptations in sensory organs, as the medium conveying stimuli changed in both ...

Air-exposure behavior: a restricted or a common conduct among intertidal hermit crabs?
Nauplius, 2020 A new behavior related to shell care was recently reported for the intertidal hermit crab Clibanarius erythropus (Latreille, 1818) in the Gulf of Cádiz (southwestern Europe).

Community shelter use in response to two benthic decapod predators in the Long Island Sound [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 To investigate community shelter effects of two invasive decapod species, Hemigrapsus sanguineus and Carcinus maenas, in the Long Island Sound (LIS), we deployed artificial shelters in the intertidal and immediate subtidal zones.

A critical assessment of marine aquarist biodiversity data and commercial aquaculture:identifying gaps in culture initiatives to inform local fisheries managers [PDF]
, 2014 It is widely accepted that if well managed, the marine aquarium trade could provide socio-economic stability to local communities while incentivising the maintenance of coral reefs.

Ocean acidification affects marine chemical communication by changing structure and function of peptide signalling molecules [PDF]
, 2016 Ocean acidification is a global challenge that faces marine organisms in the near future with a predicted rapid drop in pH of up to 0.4 units by the end of this century.

Shell use by the hermit crab Calcinus californiensis at different levels of the intertidal zone
Scientia Marina, 2011 The gastropod shell use of the hermit crab Calcinus californiensis was studied at Troncones, Guerrero, México. Hermit crabs were captured at two different levels of the intertidal zone, in wave-protected and wave-exposed sites. C. californiensis occupied
