DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2021.104414
Abstract: Animals avoid predator attack in different ways; some carry defensive structures to reduce predation, with the classic example being hermit crabs and their use of a mollusc shell as a portable refugium. During shell selection,… read more here.

Never forget where you came from: Microhabitat of origin influences boldness and exploration in the hermit crab Clibanarius symmetricus (Diogenidae)

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2020.151365
Abstract: Abstract Behavioral traits can differ between individuals in a population and affect their fitness if they differentially influence survivorship in a microhabitat scale. This may occur when individuals experience different predation risks between microhabitats. In… read more here.

A non-selective serotonin antagonist promotes rapid habituation in the terrestrial hermit crab

DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2018.09.008
Abstract: Research has indicated that serotonin (5-HT) modulates non-associative learning in a variety of invertebrate species. Recent work has demonstrated that the terrestrial hermit crab is a suitable animal model for non-associative learning phenomena, including habituation,… read more here.

Animal contests and microplastics: evidence of disrupted behaviour in hermit crabs Pagurus bernhardus
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Royal Society Open Science"
DOI: 10.1098/rsos.211089
Abstract: Microplastics are ubiquitous in global marine systems and may have negative impacts on a vast range of species. Recently, microplastics were shown to impair shell selection assessments in hermit crabs, an essential behaviour for their… read more here.

Shell use by sympatric hermit crab species in a seasonally open coastal lagoon in Northeastern Brazil
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Marine Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/maec.12451
Abstract: There are gaps in what is known about the patterns of gastropod shell use by hermit crabs in Brazilian lagoon areas, especially in Northeastern Brazil. However, this is important because the understanding of selection patterns… read more here.

A review of the endoparasitic isopods (Epicaridea: Entoniscidae) from hermit crabs, including description of the new subfamily Diogenioninae and a new species of Paguritherium Reinhard, 1945 from the Philippines.

DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5249.1.2
Abstract: Entoniscid isopods (Entoniscidae) are obligate endoparasites of other crustacean species. They have an indirect lifestyle, usually with two hosts and multiple larval stages; as adults they are found living within decapod hosts. Hermit crabs were… read more here.

Behavioural adaptation to heat stress: shell lifting of the hermit crab Diogenes deflectomanus.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Journal of thermal biology"
DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4232932
Abstract: Behavioural responses to heat and desiccation stress in ectotherms are crucial for their survival in habitats where environmental temperatures are close to or even exceed their upper thermal limits. During low tide periods when pools… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes14020470
Abstract: A complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) can provide important information for gene rearrangement, molecular evolution and phylogenetic analysis. Currently, only a few mitogenomes of hermit crabs (superfamily Paguridae) in the infraorder Anomura have been reported. This… read more here.
