Although mating has been described in several hermit crab species, the mechanics of
spermatophore transfer have not previously been demonstrated. Evidence from pleopod …

We describe the male reproductive system of the intertidal hermit crab Calcinus tibicen, with
emphasis on the sexual apparatus, spermatophore, and spermatozoa. The crabs were …

In the brachyuran crab Metopograpsus messor mating occurs only among" hard"(intermolt)
individuals. Our present light and electron microscopic studies reveal that the …

抄録 We describe for the first time the male reproductive apparatus, spermatophore and
sperm of Calcinus tubularis, analysing them under interference phase microscopy, scanning …

The male gonopores, internal male reproductive apparatus, and spermatophores of the
Mediterranean hermit crab Clibanarius erythropus are described, using interference phase …

In the present study, the morphology and biometry of the spermatophores of the western
Atlantic hermit crab Clibanarius sclopetarius (Herbst, 1796) are described, and the results …

The spermatophore morphology is described and illustrated for 11 species of pagurid hermit
crab. All possess a typical tripartite, pedunculate spermatophore characteristic of paguroid …

The spermatophore morphology and spermatozoal ultrastructure of Diogenes pugilator are
described. The spermatophore is typically tripartite made up of an ampulla, a very long stalk …

Decapod crustaceans employ spermatophores in sperm transfer. Anomura spermatophores
are generally pedunculate and structurally species-specific. Spermatophores of the sand …

The spermatophore morphology of 13 species of hermit crab from the families Coenobitidae,
Diogenidae and Paguridae is described and illustrated, and comparisons are made with …
