The stimulation of filter feeding in the porcelain crab Petrolisthes cinctipes randall by amino acids and sugars

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1977
Abstract 1. 1. The porcelain crab Petrolisthes cinctipes Randall is stimulated to filter feed by amino acids and sugars. 2. 2. The most stimulatory amino acids are l -tyrosine > glycine > l -proline > l - and d -glumatic acid > γ-amino-n-butyric acid. 3. 3. The most stimulatory sugars are trehalose and glucose. 4. 4.

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 ...

Factors influencing the vertical distributions of two intertidal porcelain crab populations

2010
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.

An invasive crustacean in Tasmania, Australia : a study on the introduced porcelain crab Petrolisthes elongatus

2014
Petrolisthes elongatus (Family: Porcellanidae) was introduced into Tasmania over a century ago from New Zealand, most probably via the dry and semi-dry ballast vector as well as associated with the live oyster trade. Since its initial introduction, P. elongatus has invaded new intertidal zones across the north, east, and southern coastlines of Tasmania
