- In the vicinity there was a large clump of green sea anemones, with an adult red-studded porcelain crab perched up high.
- Recent studies of porcelain crabs have revealed interspecific variation that closely mirrors the differences seen for whole animal heat tolerance.
- The marine life is so rich that the dive masters don't even go out of their way to find seahorses, which are ignored for rarer porcelain crabs, ghost pipefish, eels and nudibranchs.
- Here, I summarize work on the physiological tolerance limits of rocky intertidal zone porcelain crab species of the genus Petrolisthes to emersion - related heat stress.
- To find out how rising temperatures could affect these animals, scientists tested the thermal tolerance of porcelain crabs by hooking them up to a heart-rate monitor, immersing them in water, and gradually increasing the temperature.
- Each encounter involved a single porcelain crab placed in a bucket with a single larger predatory crab, recorded by a video camera positioned on a tripod directly above the bucket.
- A purple shore crab captures a porcelain crab by firmly grasping its cheliped.
- In the context of physiological determinants of vertical zonation, note that many of the more coldadapted porcelain crabs could not withstand the habitat temperatures experienced by more warm-adapted congeners.
