A tiny hermit crab is bullied and knocked upside-down. No worries, though, as she gets back up and then pulls her house back over her head for protection! 🦀🦑

Red Rock Crab, deceased. I believe those are Black Devil Snails gathering around it. #crab #crabs #crustaceans #CrescentBeach #BC
Kelp Crab with a white snail shell attached to its body. These shells can be found in the thousands sticking to rocks. How one managed to attach itself to this crab is the question. #crab #crabs #crustaceans #CrescentBeach #BC
Kelp Crab meeting. Look closely and you'll see a third crab on the bottom. As Kelp Crabs mate in the fall I assume this is a territorial battle. #crab #crabs #crustaceans #tidalwater #ocean

Yellow Crab. Notice the grey circles in the sand as this crab moves about in a couple of inches of water. I believe they are Eccentric Sand Dollars. #crab #crabs #crustaceans #sanddollars

Lobsters and crabs should not be exploited in any way, but there are at least five ways that their exploitation during farming can be considered especially cruel. 🦞🦀

‘The promenade between the British and French buildings contains six raised gardens with shallow pools - each with a bronze fountain and drain. The fountains feature male and female mythical figures (Tritons and Nereids), while the drain covers are of various sea creatures. Each of the six figures had a name: Leadership, Will, Thought, Imagination, Energy, Alertness.’ http://www.louisvilleartdeco.com/feature/RenePaulChambellan/RenePaulChambellan.html

Tiny hermit crab living in the beautiful orange and red shell of a sea snail.
This hermit crab has found a mansion to live in.

While pretty common in samples from puddles & birdbaths, I never tire of the antics of Ostracods - the hyperactive #crustaceans who also bear the nickname "Seed Shrimp" - they have a fossil history going back over 570 million years! They are a great marker in relative dating in #paleontology!
NEW PAPER OUT 🖤 another one of pure comparative #genomics
We investigated the molecular & genome #evolution of tadpole shrimps, a group of #crustaceans with a sharp morphological stasis. Also sequenced 2 new genomes 🧬🦐

A photo of the claw of a NZ southern koura crayfish. The claw is covered in lots of pink blobs with tentacles. These are a kind of flatworm specialised at living on crayfish.
One of the highlights of my day was when William Harland, a talented ecology undergrad here at #LincolnUniversityNZ, stopped by my office to show me his photos of temnocephalid flatworms. These distinctive squat tentacled flatworms live in colonies on NZ's […]

Close up of black crab on lava rock. Crab is covered with green dots. Here legs have a beautiful orange on them and look wickedly sharp.
This is a nice crab photo, but the remarkable thing is that if you zoom way in in the eye, you can see my reflection. It's subtle, but there. I'll post a zoomed look in the comments. #nature #crustaceans #love #photography #Maui #nokings #marinelife #smallwonders #eastcoastkin
Lobsters are amazing crustaceans who have been sadly exploited by humans for millennia, ignoring how remarkable and fascinating they are. 🦞

Woodlouse are #Crustaceans in the #Order Isopoda. They are NOT insects!
With slightly under forty species here; it's worth learning to identify species. Common Pill Woodlouse (Armadillidium vulgare) seen in #Brighton by @pkster101.bsky.social has both grey and orange colour forms. #brightonwildlife
New Preprint!! 🦐🪰🦀
In this study we compared moulting gene expression across insects and crustaceans. #insects #crustaceans
