Pagurus Spighti
''Pagurus'' is a genus of hermit crabs in the family Paguridae. Like other hermit crabs, their abdomen is not calcified and they use snail shells as protection. These marine decapod crustaceans are omnivorous, but mostly prey on small animals and scavenge carrion. ''Trigonocheirus'' and '' Pagurixus'' used to be considered subgenera of ''Pagurus'', but the former is nowadays included in '' Orthopagurus'', while the latter has been separated as a distinct genus. Species Some 170 species are presently placed in ''Pagurus''; many others have been placed here at one time but are now assigned to other genera of Paguroidea. The following list is current : *'' Pagurus acadianus'' Benedict, 1901 *''Pagurus alabamensis'' Rathbun, 1935 † *''Pagurus alaini'' Komai, 1998 *''Pagurus alatus'' Fabricius, 1775 *''Pagurus albidianthus'' de Saint Laurent & McLaughlin, 2000 *''Pagurus albus'' (Benedict, 1892) *''Pagurus alcocki'' (Balss, 1911) *''Pagurus aleuticus'' (Benedict, 1892) *'' Pag ...

Pagurus Armatus
''Pagurus armatus'', the armed hermit crab or black-eyed hermit crab, is a species of hermit crab found in the eastern Pacific Ocean of the United States and British Columbia, Canada. Description ''P. armatus'' is one of the largest species of hermit crab: adults may reach a carapace length of . The legs, including the claws, have bands of colour, in red, orange and white, and the claws bear short spines on the dorsal surface. The eyestalks are short, but bear large black compound eyes. ''P. armatus'' can be told apart from the similar '' P. ochotensis'' by the spines on its claws, which in ''P. ochotensis'' are replaced by granules. The two species are so similar that they have sometimes been considered members of the same species, but are now generally thought to be two distinct species. Ecology ''P. armatus'' lives on a variety of substrates, being particularly abundant in sea pen beds, at depths of up to Type specimen ''P. armatus'' was originally described (under the nam ...

Subgenus
In biology, a subgenus (plural: subgenera) is a taxonomic rank directly below genus. In the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, a subgeneric name can be used independently or included in a species name, in parentheses, placed between the generic name and the specific epithet: e.g. the tiger cowry of the Indo-Pacific, ''Cypraea'' (''Cypraea'') ''tigris'' Linnaeus, which belongs to the subgenus ''Cypraea'' of the genus ''Cypraea''. However, it is not mandatory, or even customary, when giving the name of a species, to include the subgeneric name. In the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICNafp), the subgenus is one of the possible subdivisions of a genus. There is no limit to the number of divisions that are permitted within a genus by adding the prefix "sub-" or in other ways as long as no confusion can result. Article 4 The secondary ranks of section and series are subordinate to subgenus. An example is ''Banksia'' subg. ''Isostylis'', ...

Pagurus Acadianus
''Pagurus acadianus'', the Acadian hermit crab, is a species of hermit crab in the family Paguridae. It is found in Western Atlantic Ocean. Distribution The Acadian hermit crab, also known as ''Pagurus acadianus'', can be found in the Western Atlantic Ocean, including areas such as the Vineyard Sound. In addition, the Acadian hermit crab has been cited as the most abundant species of crab in Salisbury Cove, Maine by William C. Grant, Jr, during his extensive study of hermit crabs populating this area in 1961. History ''Pagurus acadianus'' was first identified in scientific literature by scientist J.E. Benedict in 1901. As examined by Morris H. Roberts, Jr.’s, Benedict was able to differentiate this organism from that of a very similar taxa, ''Pagurus benhardus'', due to physical variations. Benedict observed that ''Pagurus acadianus'' had larger eyestalks, shorter fingers of the chelae and sharper chelipeds, all of which are necessary identifiers of the Acadian hermit crab. T ...

Pagurus Longicarpus
''Pagurus longicarpus'', the long-wristed hermit crab, is a common hermit crab found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States and the Atlantic coast of Canada.Young, A. M. 1978. Desiccation tolerances for three hermit crab species Clibanarius vittatus (Bosc), Pagurus pollicaris Say and P. longicarpus Say (Decapoda, Anomura) in the North Inlet Estuary, South Carolina, U.S.A. Estuar. Coast. Mar. Sci. 6: 117–122. Description This species of hermit crab can reach a shell length of up to half an inch in size. ''P. longicarpus'' coloration can vary, but body color is most commonly gray, green or white. The right claw of ''P. longicarpus'' is much larger than the left, and each claw has a tan or gray stripe down the middle. The long-wristed hermit crab inhabits the empty shells of Gastropoda, gastropods such as Common periwinkle, periwinkles, snails, and slugs for mobile shelter and protection of their soft abdomens. They anchor themselves into the shells by wrapping ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 ...
