New records of intersexuality in porcelain crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Porcellanidae) [PDF]
Nauplius, 2018 The occurrence of intersex specimens of Lissoporcellana quadrilobata (Miers, 1884), Pisidia bluteli (Risso, 1816) and Pisidia longimana (Risso, 1816) is recorded for the first time and their secondary sexual characters analyzed.

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

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.

Genome assemblies of two species of porcelain crab, Petrolisthes cinctipes and Petrolisthes manimaculis (Anomura: Porcellanidae). [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda), 2023 Abstract Crabs are a large subtaxon of the Arthropoda, the most diverse and species-rich metazoan group. Several outstanding questions remain regarding crab diversification, including about the genomic capacitors of physiological and morphological adaptation, that cannot be answered with available genomic resources.
