Hermit crabs
Researchers had been divided over whether the sound was vocal or not, but the latest study, published online in the Royal Society Proceedings B shows unequivocally that the tail feathers were the source of the sound. When the researchers cut back the tail feathers — which grow back in five weeks and do not affect the birds ability to fly — the males were unable to make the noise. Tests in wind ...
متن کاملOn hermit crabs and humans.
Flynn, Laland, Kendal and Kendal’s article (this issue) plays a valuable role in two ways. First, it demonstrates how developmental psychology can learn lessons from the latest research on developmental niche construction within evolutionary biology. Secondly, for those psychologists whose main focus is the cognitive mechanisms by which humans develop their particular suite of abilities, it is ...
متن کاملMETHODS AND TECHNIQUES Use of Terrestrial Hermit Crabs in the Study of Habituation
For small colleges, the use of invertebrates in undergraduate learning laboratory experiments may be a valuable alternative to the use of vertebrate species. This article describes a habituation experiment using terrestrial hermit crabs. All of the materials required are inexpensive and readily available. What makes this experiment unique is that although the instructor sets basic parameters, s...
متن کاملScaling of olfactory antennae of the terrestrial hermit crabs Coenobita rugosus and Coenobita perlatus during ontogeny
Although many lineages of terrestrial crustaceans have poor olfactory capabilities, crabs in the family Coenobitidae, including the terrestrial hermit crabs in the genus Coenobita, are able to locate food and water using olfactory antennae (antennules) to capture odors from the surrounding air. Terrestrial hermit crabs begin their lives as small marine larvae and must find a suitable place to u...
متن کاملThe Probable Method of Fertilization in Terrestrial Hermit Crabs Based on a Comparative Study of Spermatophores
ALTHOUGH the physiological and mechanical phenomena of the vasa deferentia resulting in the elaboration of the spermatophores of marine hermit crabs (Pagurida) have been investigated (Mouchet, 1931; Matthews, 1953), these phenomena in terrestrial hermit crabs (Coenobita and Birgus) have been neglected. Spermatophores of marine hermits are made with precision; the so-called immutable form of the...
