Decoration behaviour in a spider crab, Acanthonyx scutiformis (Dana, 1851) in relation to life stage, sex and algal species
(2016-01-01)
In this study we evaluated the types of algae chosen for decorating by the spider crab Acanthonyx scutiformis (Dana, 1851) and determined whether decorating is more common in juvenile or adult crabs and in females or males ...
The larval development of the spider crab Rochinia gracilipes (Crustacea: Majoidea: Epialtidae: Pisinae) reared in the laboratory
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016-08)
ABSTRACT: The larval development of the spider crab Rochinia gracilipes Milne-Edwards, 1875 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Majoidea: Epialtidae: Pisinae) is described and illustrated from laboratory-reared larvae. ...
Triple interaction network among flowers, flower visitors and crab spiders in a grassland ecosystem
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-12)
This study presents the first description of a tri-trophic interaction network with crab spiders as predators. Monthly observations of flowering entomophilous plant species were recorded between December 2009 and March ...
To be or not to be . . . a flower? A test of possible cues influencing hunting site selection in subadult females of the crab spider Epicadus heterogaster (Guerin 1812) (Araneae: Thomisidae)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012-01-01)
Females of some Thomisidae species are known to use visual and olfactory stimuli to select high quality hunting sites. However, because studies about foraging behavior in this family are concentrated on a few species, the ...
The role of spider hunting mode on the strength of spider–plant mutualisms
(2018-09-01)
The strength and outcome of mutualistic interactions can be highly dependent on the combination of traits of the species involved. Distinct foraging strategies (e.g., hunting mode) of mutualistic predators may cause ...
Distribution of plant-dwelling spiders: Inflorescences versus vegetative branches
(Blackwell Publishing AsiaCarltonAustralia, 2004)
Mutualism between the sea anemone Antholoba achates (Drayton, 1846) (Cnidaria: Actiniaria: Actinostolidae) and the spider crab Libinia spinosa Milne-Edwards, 1834 (Crustacea: Decapoda, Majidae)
(Soc Royale Zoologique Belgique, 2003-12)
In this paper the association (mutualism) betrween the sea anemone Antholoba achates and the spider crab Libinia spinosa is described.
Morphometric and gonad maturity of the spider crab Libinia ferreirae Brito Capello, 1871 (Decapoda: Majoidea: Epialtidae) on the south-eastern Brazilian coast
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2017-03-01)
Sexual maturity of the spider crab Libinia ferreirae was assessed for each sex, based on body dimensions and observations of gonad condition. A total of 346 crabs were analysed, of which 68% were females. Immature and adult ...
Feeding habits of the spider crab Libinia spinosa H. Milne Edwards, 1834 (Decapoda, Brachyura) in Ubatuba Bay, São Paulo, Brazil
(2008-01-01)
The main goal of this study was the identification of the items of the diet of the L. spinosa, based on the stomach contents analysis. The crabs were obtained from Ubatuba region north-eastern shore of São Paulo State. In ...
