Flight or fight: flexible antipredatory strategies in porcelain crabs [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2005 Autotomy, the voluntary shedding of limbs or other body parts in the face of predation, is a highly effective escape mechanism that has evolved independently in a variety of taxa. Crabs are unusual in that the limb that is typically sacrificed during autotomy, the anterior clawed cheliped, can also be used to ward off attack. During an encounter with a

Marine Ecology, 2021 Porcelain crabs that inhabit contrasting environments along the Southeastern Pacific coast have developed physiological adaptive responses to the harsh environmental conditions. However, it is not yet known if these responses are already present in early

Marine Environmental Research, 2021 Population dynamics and their response to environmental stressors have been widely studied in intertidal organisms. However, how these dynamics and responses change with animal age have been largely ignored to date.

An annotated and illustrated checklist of the porcelain crabs of Panama (Decapoda: Anomura)
Zootaxa, 2021The present study is the first exhaustive checklist of porcelain crabs (Porcellanidae) distributed on the Pacific and Atlantic (Caribbean) coasts of Panama, based on literature records and material collected between 2006 and 2019. The Panamanian porcellanid fauna is currently composed of a total of 76 species, with 26 species reported from the ...

Porcelain crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) of western coast of India [PDF]
Marine Biodiversity Records, 2016 Significant works have been done on the diversity and distribution of porcellanids crabs in Indian coasts. The present work reports and describe porcelain crabs from the western coast of India. Five species of porcelain crabs in three genera are reported from the western coast of India.

Autotomy in porcelain crabs is an effective escape mechanism from rockfish predation
Marine Ecology, 2014AbstractPorcelain crabs possess a ‘hair‐trigger’ propensity to autotomize their chelipeds (claws), and laboratory studies have demonstrated that this ability is highly effective in avoiding predation from other crabs. However, porcelain crabs are also subject to predation from fishes, which use a very different means of capture.

Squat Lobsters and Porcelain Crabs (Galatheoidea)
1997The abdomen of squat lobsters and porcelain crabs has symmetrically arranged segments. It is held loosely folded beneath the cephalotorax and cannot be easily fully extended. Native squat lobsters include all species belonging to the families Galatheidae and Chirostylidae.

Costs and gains of porcelain crab suspension feeding in different flow conditions [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 1999 Porcellana longicornis is a filter feeder that changes its feeding mechanism in relation to water flow conditions. In still water and slow flow, it actively sweeps the water with its maxillipeds. As flow speed increases, it switches from active suspension feeding to passive feeding.

Neural Thermal Performance in Porcelain Crabs, GenusPetrolisthes
Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, 2012Neurons are highly temperature sensitive. Temperature-induced nerve failure may play an important role in determining organismal thermal tolerance limits and distribution patterns. To expand our understanding of the role of neuronal thermal performance in setting thermal limits, we compared the thermal performance of neurons from five porcelain crab ...
