DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2019.03.010
Abstract: Noise is a form of human-induced rapid environmental change, and mounting evidence suggests that it can affect the sensory environment and consequently the decision-making ability of animals. However, while the effects of anthropogenic noise on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.121703
Abstract: Significant quantities of plastic debris pollute nearly all the world's ecosystems, where it persists for decades and poses a considerable threat to flora and fauna. Much of the focus has been on the marine environment,… 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.

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.

Hermit crabs (Pagurus bernhardus) use visual contrast in self-assessment of camouflage
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Experimental Biology"
DOI: 10.1242/jeb.173831
Abstract: ABSTRACT Animals can make use of camouflage to reduce the likelihood of visual detection or recognition and thus improve their chances of survival. Background matching, where body colouration is closely matched to the surrounding substrate,… read more here.

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.
