| Popis: | This review examines the main characteristics of the reproductive strategy in hermit crabs: the sex ratio, the age (size) of onset of maturity, fecundity, and duration of the incubation period, as well as their dependence on the availability and quality of accessible gastropod shells. The latitudinal variation in reproductive characteristics and the peculiarities of reproduction of coastal hermit crabs in temperate waters are discussed. |
