AJ Southward and EC Southward (1988) DISAPPEARANCE OF THE WARM-WATER HERMIT CRAB CLIBANARIUS ERYTHROPUS FROM SOUTH-WEST BRITAIN

Abstract

The hermit crab Clibanarius erythropus was first reported from Britain in 1961. Alan and Eve Southward reported the occurrence of this crab at a number of localities in Devon and Cornwall and showed how the species had become less common (Southward and Southward, 1977). Since that time they continued surveillance at the two sites where the population of the hermit crab survived, on Church Reef, Wembury, S. Devon and on Great Hogus Reef, Marazion, Mount's Bay, Cornwall. No animals were seen at either site in the last two years of surveillance, 1986 and 1987. Records from Alan and Eve's paper have been digitised.

Quality and validity

Lineage

At each place approximately 30 min was spent searching the favoured habitat of the crab, then wider searches made of other suitable pools/shaded overhangs. Data was digitised into MEDIN format from the published paper in 'Additional Information Source'. Eve Southward (author of paper) checked through records for accuracy.
