Comparative analysis of shell occupation by two southern populations of the hermit crab Loxopagurus loxochelis (Decapoda, Diogenidae)
(INST OCEANOGRAFICO, UNIV SAO PAULOSAO PAULO, 2012)
The present study aimed to comparatively verify the relation between the hermit crabs and the shells they use in two populations of Loxopagurus loxochelis. Samples were collected monthly from July 2002 to June 2003, at ...
Shell occupation by the South Atlantic endemic hermit crab Loxopagurus loxochelis (Moreira, 1901) (Anomura: Diogenidae)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Carcinologia, 2013-12-01)
The evaluation of population characteristics, particularly those of endemic species, aids in population preservation and management. Hermit crabs present an innate behavior of occupying shells, which tends to individual ...
Habitat heterogeneity in the assemblages and shell use by the most abundant hermit crabs (Anomura: Diogenidae and Paguridae): does the occupied shell species differ according to gender and species?
(Sociedade Brasileira de Carcinologia, 2016)
Abstract The goal of this study was to identify patterns of shell occupation by different species of hermit crabs from the southern Brazilian coast. In total, 644 individuals were collected, represented by six hermit ...
Shell occupation as a limiting factor for Pagurus brevidactylus (Stimpson, 1859) in the Marine State Park of Laje de Santos, Brazil
(2018-01-01)
Hermit crabs are soft-abdomen decapod. They depend upon gastropod shells for protection, with the latter influencing growth rate, mortality and reproduction. The present work aims to provide the information about the biology ...

(Universidade de São Paulo, Instituto Oceanográfico, 2012)
The present study aimed to comparatively verify the relation between the hermit crabs and the shells they use in two populations of Loxopagurus loxochelis. Samples were collected monthly from July 2002 to June 2003, at ...
Bryozoan assemblages on gastropod shells occupied by the hermit crab Pagurus comptus
(Springer, 2021-02)
Bryozoans are common on gastropod shells inhabited by the hermit crab Pagurus comptus in the southern southwest Atlantic. The aim of this study was to test whether bryozoan biodiversity was higher on larger and more complexly ...
Shell occupation by the endemic western Atlantic hermit crab Isocheles sawayai (Diogenidae) from Caraguatatuba, Brazil
(Instituto Internacional de Ecologia, 2008)
The aim of this study was to characterize the pattern of shell occupation by the hermit crab Isocheles sawayai Forest and Saint-Laurent, 1968, from the Caraguatatuba region. The percentage of shell types that were occupied ...
What makes a good home for hermits? Assessing gastropod shell density and relative strength.
(Bergen, 2016)
The survival and reproductive success of hermit crabs is intrinsically linked to the quality of their domicile shells. Because damaged or eroded shells can result in greater predation, evaluating shell structure may aid ...
Composition, density, and shell use of hermit crabs (Crustacea: Paguroidea) from subtidal boulder fields in southeastern Brazil
