Novel gene re-arrangement in the mitochondrial genome of Pisidia serratifrons (Anomura, Galatheoidea, Porcellanidae) and phylogenetic associations in Anomura [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 To improve the taxonomy and systematics of Porcellanidae within the evolution of Anomura, we describe the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) sequence of Pisidia serratifrons, which is 15,344 bp in size, contains the entire set of 37 genes and ...

Marine-dumped waste tyres cause the ghost fishing of hermit crabs [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Poorly managed waste tyres pose serious environmental and health risks, ranging from air pollution caused by fire, leaching of heavy metals and outbreaks of mosquitos, to destruction of vegetation and coral reefs.

Metabolic and behavioural effects of hermit crab shell removal techniques: Is heating less invasive than cracking? [PDF]
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,

Role of Seagrass as a Food Source for Benthos in Tidal Flats: Toward Conservation and Restoration of Resilient Ecosystems [PDF]
AnimalsSeagrass is a key primary producer in coastal ecosystems; however, most studies on seagrass-benthos interactions have focused on subtidal zones. Some species such as Zostera japonica grow in intertidal flats; however, their ecological functions remain ...

Central projections of antennular chemosensory and mechanosensory afferents in the brain of the terrestrial hermit crab (Coenobita clypeatus; Coenobitidae, Anomura) [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015 The Coenobitidae (Decapoda, Anomura, Paguroidea) is a taxon of hermit crabs that includes two genera with a fully terrestrial life style as adults. Previous studies have shown that Coenobitidae have evolved a sense of spatial odor localization that is ...

Littoral hermit crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) of Larak Island, Persian Gulf, Iran [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2013 The hermit crab fauna of the Larak Island was investigated, which revealed seven species representing five genera and two families. The family Diogenidae represents six species namely Areopaguristes perspicax (Nobili, 1906), Clibanarius signatus Heller ...
