A total of 575 individuals were collected, including 156 females, 103 ovigerous females, and 316 males, which occupied shells of 10 species of gastropods. The epibionts recorded in the shells of I. sawayai belonged to Cirripedia, Polychaeta, Bivalvia, Anthozoa, Demosponge, and Bryozoa. A larger percentage of infestation occurred inside the shell, which may be harmful to the hermit crab because it reduces the internal volume. Ovigerous females used shells with a smaller percentage of infestation (40%), which may be related to the need for more space for the position and development of fertilized eggs. However, a higher proportion of anemones was found in shells used by ovigerous females. The advantage of this association for the anemones and crabs is discussed. The results suggest that shells occupied by epibionts can be a favorable factor for hermit crab survival, mainly for ovigerous females. 2018 artículo científico 1870-3453 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42559285016 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/425/42559285016/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/425/42559285016/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/425/42559285016/42559285016.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/425/42559285016/movil 10.22201/ib.20078706e.2018.3.2167 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=425 Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad (México) Num.3 Vol.89 |
