    • The objective of this study was to characterize the pattern of shell utilization by Paguristes tortugae , from infralittoral areas of Anchieta Island (Ubatuba, Sao Paulo State, Brazil) using the percentage of the different shell types occupied and the morphometric relationship between hermit crabs and occupied shells. Specimens were collected monthly (January to December 1998) by SCUBA diving. The animals and the shells were measured and weighed. A total of 2,429 hermit crabs were captured… CONTINUE READING
