DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.04.012
Abstract: The chela of the hermit crab protects its body against the attack from predators. Yet, a deep understanding of this mechanical defense is still lacking. Here, we investigate the chela of hermit crab, Coenobita brevimanus,… read more here.

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.

DOI: 10.1080/14790726.2020.1837184
Abstract: ABSTRACT Teresa Dovey once advocated that writers inhabit genres and forms and ideological positions as hermit crabs inhabit shells. In this paper, I position the writer as ‘hermit crab’ suggesting a position of displacement that… read more here.

The right choice: predation pressure drives shell selection decisions in the hermit crab Calcinus californiensis

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2017-0023
Abstract: Several prey species use refuges to avoid predation. Prey need to abandon and shift between refuges. However, during such shifting, prey can be vulnerable to predators. We hypothesize that predator presence may induce prey to… read more here.
