First Record of Aliaporcellana and Lissoporcellana (Crustacea: Decapoda: Porcellanidae) from Korea

Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2015
Two porcelain crab species, Aliaporcellana pygmaea (De Man, 1902) and Lissoporcellana nakasonei (Miyake, 1978), are reported here for the first time from Korean waters based on specimens collected from Jeju Island, Korea.

First discovery of porcellanid crab, Porcellanella picta (Crustacea: Decapoda: Porcellanidae), from south-east coast of India

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2014
Studies of the distribution of any marine organism are very important in determining the range of its expansion in the oceans and to determine the factors influencing this expansion.

Hair-trigger autotomy in porcelain crabs is a highly effective escape strategy [PDF]

Behavioral Ecology, 2002
The benefits of autotomy, the voluntary shedding of limbs, have been adequately demonstrated in vertebrates but are poorly studied in invertebrates. We provide strong experimental evidence for an antipredatory benefit to autotomy in two porcelain crabs (Petrolisthes cinctipes and P. manimaculis).

Construction and characterization of EST libraries from the porcelain crab, Petrolisthes cinctipes [PDF]

Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2006
The thermal phenotype of an organism (heat and cold tolerance, thermal range, and thermal plasticity) is an essential feature of how the organism performs across thermal environments and in response to thermal stress. Porcelain crabs are of interest in addressing questions of thermal phenotype because of their high species diversity and the large ...

Intersexuality in the porcellanid crab Pisidia longicornis (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Porcellanidae)

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2015
Intersex specimens of Pisidia longicornis (Linnaeus, 1767) are recorded for the first time and their secondary sexual characters are analyzed. Of 145 specimens of P. longicornis examined in this study, six were identified as intersex individuals.

A localized PCR inhibitor in a porcelain crab suggests a protective role

PeerJ, 2014
A number of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) inhibitors have been identified from biological and environmental samples. By and large, such substances are treated as random nuisances and contaminants with alternate functions; their inhibitory effects on DNA replication being a coincidental property of their molecular structure.

Latitudinal thermal gradient effect on the cost of living of the intertidal porcelain crab Petrolisthes granulosus [PDF]

Aquatic Biology, 2010
Species with wide latitudinal distributions are exposed to significant abiotic gradients throughout their geographic range. Thermal gradients are especially important for ectothermic spe- cies inhabiting the intertidal zone because they affect their life history traits and fitness.

Identification of proteins interacting with lactate dehydrogenase in claw muscle of the porcelain crab Petrolisthes cinctipes [PDF]

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics, 2011
Biochemical adaptation of enzymes involves conservation of activity, stability and affinity across a wide range of intracellular and environmental conditions. Enzyme adaptation by alteration of primary structure is well known, but the roles of protein-protein interactions in enzyme adaptation are less well understood.

From liquid learning to weaving learning: Negotiating meanings of Children's learning in family travel

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Children's learning increasingly extends into everyday informal settings, but what counts as learning in these contexts remains insufficiently understood. Focusing on family travel as a mobile and socioculturally situated informal learning context, this study adopts a sociocultural perspective and uses liquid learning as a sensitising concept ...
