Differential thermal tolerance and energetic trajectories during ontogeny in porcelain crabs, genus Petrolisthes

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2013
Abstract Thermal tolerance limits of marine intertidal zone organisms are elevated compared to subtidal species, but are typically just slightly higher than maximal habitat temperatures. The small thermal safety margins maintained by intertidal zone organisms suggest that high thermal tolerance is associated with a physiological cost.

Squat Lobsters and Porcelain Crabs (Galatheoidea)

1997
The 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.

Spatial and Temporal Associations Between Native Crabs and the Invading Green Porcelain Crab, Petrolisthes armatus, Throughout Its Northernmost Invaded Range

Estuaries and Coasts, 2018
Increasing ocean temperatures have led to poleward range expansions of many marine organisms. The green porcelain crab, Petrolisthes armatus, was first reported on intertidal oyster reefs near Charleston, South Carolina in the mid-1990s, an expansion from its tropical to sub-tropical native range. In order to investigate the relative abundances of this

The complete mitogenome of the porcelain crab Petrolisthes haswelli Miers, 1884 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
The mitochondrial genome sequence of the porcellanid crab, Petrolisthes haswelli is provided, making it the second for the family Porcellanidae and the third for the superfamily Galatheoidea. Petrolisthes haswelli has a mitogenome of 15,348 bp consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal subunit genes, 22 transfer RNAs and a non-coding AT-rich ...

Competency, settling behavior, and postsettlement aggregation by porcelain crab megalopae (Anomura : Porcellanidae)

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1991
Gregarious settlement by megalopae of the porcelain crabs Petrolisthes cinctipes (Randall) and P. eriomerus Stimpson was investigated to determine possible means of attraction and postsettlement benefits. Megalopae of P. eriomerus were attracted to conspecific adults confined to chambers that prevented tactile or visual contact, suggesting that ...

Survival and chloride ion regulation of the porcelain crab Petrolisthes armatus exposed to mercury

Marine Biology, 1974
Acute toxicity bioassays conducted at various salinities demonstrated that mercury (as mercuric chloride) at low concentrations was lethal to Petrolisthes armatus. Ninety-six hour LC50 values varied from 50 to 64 parts per billion (ppb) of mercury, depending on test salinities. Lower salinities.

Factors influencing the vertical distributions of two intertidal porcelain crab populations

1979
Overlapping populations of porcelain crabs were observed on several beaches in Barkley Sound, British Columbia. The lower limit of the higher population (Petrplisthes cinctipes) and the upper limit of the lower population (Petrolisthes eriomerus) were observed to be temporally and spatially stable for three years.
