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).

Effects of CO2-induced pH reduction on the exoskeleton structure and biophotonic properties of the shrimp Lysmata californica. [PDF]
, 2015 The anticipated effects of CO2-induced ocean acidification on marine calcifiers are generally negative, and include dissolution of calcified elements and reduced calcification rates.

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.

The effect of diet on the growth and energy budget of juvenile Neostichopus grammatus
New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1235-1251, December 2025.ABSTRACT Providing optimum energy levels in diets for sea cucumbers is essential, as an excess or inadequate energy level can lead to a reduced growth rate. This study investigated the effect of diets on the growth and energy budget of juvenile sea cucumber Neostichopus grammatus for twelve weeks.
