In the present study, this activity of the hermit crab Clibanarius vittatus was studied in dry and submerged areas of the intertidal region of Pescadores Beach in Sao Vicente (SP), Brazil. In both areas 110 animals (86 of dry and 24 of submerged area) were analyzed and C. vittatus show more activity in the submerged area than in the dry one. The low activity of locomotion presented when exposed to the air, can be due by the stress caused in function of the high temperature and desiccation.porVariação da atividade locomotora do ermitão Clibanarius Vittatus (BOSC, 1802) em relação à dessecação, na praia dos pescadores, em São Vicente (SP), BrasilAlteration of the activity of move about of the hermit crab Clibanarius vittatus (Bosc, 1802) in relation to desiccation, on the Pescadores Beach, in Sao Vicente (SP), Brazil.ArtigoZOOREC:ZOOR14412073402Acesso aberto
