A new genus and species of cheilostome bryozoan associated with hermit crabs in the subantarctic Southwest Atlantic
Some bryozoan species occur on gastropod shells occupied by hermit crabs, often dominating the shell surface to the exclusion of other encrusters. Symbioses between bryozoans and pagurid crabs are known from a wide latitudinal range, including tropical, warm- and cold-temperate regions. Here we desc...
