Pea Crab
The pea crab, ''Pinnotheres pisum'', is a small crab in the family Pinnotheridae that lives as a parasite in oysters, clams, mussels, and other species of bivalves. Description Pea crabs are small crustaceans about the size of a pea or dime, with a "smooth dorsal surface of the carapace, or upper exoskeleton". The exoskeleton of males is hard and circular and has eyes and antennae extending from their fronts, and the chelipeds are more robust in males than in females, which have more elongated chelipeds. The bodies of the female pea crabs are often translucent and show the inner organs and gonads as yellow and red, with the males being a "more yellowish-grey with patches of brown". Ecology The relationship between the pea crab and its host is one of parasitism, rather than commensalism, since the host may be harmed by the crab's feeding activities. The pea crab relies solely on its host for food, safety, and oxygen. Pea crabs have a variety of hosts, the most important of whic ...

Pinnotheridae
The Pinnotheridae are a family of tiny soft-bodied crabs that live commensally in the mantles of certain bivalve molluscs (and the occasional large gastropod mollusc species in genera such as ''Strombus'' and ''Haliotis''). '' Tunicotheres moseri'' is commensal with a tunicate. The earliest fossils attributable to the Pinnotheridae date from the Danian.

World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as the ''World List of ...

Calyptraeotheres Garthi
''Calyptraeotheres garthi'' is a species of pea crab in the family Pinnotheridae. It is found in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean and is a parasitic castrator of the slipper limpet ''Crepidula cachimilla''. Taxonomy When Jorge L. Fenucci originally encountered ''C. garthi'', he first mistook it for the related (then placed in ''Pinnotheres''). A few years later, he described the species under '' Pinnotheres'' as ''P. garthi'' (not "Fabia garthi", as cited in WoRMS). When Ernesto Campos described his new genus '' Calyptraeotheres'' for a species then still placed in '' Fabia'', he noted that both ''P. politus'' (i.e. ) and ''P. garthi'' were also likely to belong to his new genus. He effected the transfer of these species in 1999. Description The female ''Calyptraeotheres garthi'' exhibits certain adaptations that are probably associated with its parasitic way of life. The invasive stage has a compact body shape, a hard carapace and large setae (bristles) on its swimming legs. At ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
