An annotated and illustrated checklist of the porcelain crabs of Panama (Decapoda: Anomura)
Zootaxa, 2021The present study is the first exhaustive checklist of porcelain crabs (Porcellanidae) distributed on the Pacific and Atlantic (Caribbean) coasts of Panama, based on literature records and material collected between 2006 and 2019. The Panamanian porcellanid fauna is currently composed of a total of 76 species, with 26 species reported from the ...

Squat Lobsters and Porcelain Crabs (Galatheoidea)
1997The 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.

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

Autotomy in porcelain crabs is an effective escape mechanism from rockfish predation
Marine Ecology, 2014AbstractPorcelain crabs possess a ‘hair‐trigger’ propensity to autotomize their chelipeds (claws), and laboratory studies have demonstrated that this ability is highly effective in avoiding predation from other crabs. However, porcelain crabs are also subject to predation from fishes, which use a very different means of capture.

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.

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.

Porcelain crabs from Brazil (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura: Porcellanidae)
Zootaxa, 2016Twenty species of porcelain crabs are reported on the basis of material collected from Brazilian coasts. Considering the lack of systematic studies comprehending the Brazilian porcellanids, the present work presents a review of the regional species based on the current taxonomic information.

Neural Thermal Performance in Porcelain Crabs, GenusPetrolisthes
Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, 2012Neurons are highly temperature sensitive. Temperature-induced nerve failure may play an important role in determining organismal thermal tolerance limits and distribution patterns. To expand our understanding of the role of neuronal thermal performance in setting thermal limits, we compared the thermal performance of neurons from five porcelain crab ...

Future porcelain crabs in trouble
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2014![Figure][1] Porcelain crabs. Photo credit: Adam Paganini. If you've ever had a fever, you'll know how rotten it feels when your temperature rises by even a few degrees. Now imagine yourself in the position of a porcelain crab on the California seashore as the tide withdraws.

Systematics and biogeography of Cuban porcelain crabs (Decapoda: Anomura: Porcellanidae)
Zootaxa, 2017Marine crustaceans are a well-known invertebrates group in Cuban waters, but some taxa are not well catalogued and the literature about them is scattered. In this work, we present the checklist of porcelain crabs of Cuban Archipelago, including the literature registers and unpublished author’s data.
