摘要

Pagurus hermit crabs have a well-developed right cheliped (major cheliped) and in some species the major cheliped of males is longer than that of females. This paper describes sex-related differences in major cheliped length and regeneration pattern of the major cheliped in the hermit crab Pagurus filholi. We also examined the function of the major cheliped in male-male competition. Major cheliped length of males was longer than that of females in P. filholi. Males regenerated larger chelipeds than females at the first molt after experimentally induced autotomy. Body size growth in males of the regeneration group was less than that in intact males of the control group while there was no significant difference in body size growth of females between regeneration and control groups. Major cheliped length was included in the best model to explain the outcome of male-male competition and thus sexual selection appears to be a causative factor in the sex-related difference of the major cheliped length. Sex-related differences in the regeneration pattern may reflect differences in evolutionary pressures on males for large major chelipeds and females for large body size.
