Hermit crab increased prevalence of marine debris, but also due to depletion of seashells from beaches due to humans collecting them. Hermit crab species range in size and shape, from species with a carapace only a few millimetres long to "Coenobita brevimanus", which can live 12–70 years and can approach the size of a coconut. The shell-less hermit crab "Birgus latro" (coconut crab) is the world's largest terrestrial invertebrate. The young develop in stages, with the first two (the nauplius and protozoea) occurring inside the egg. Most hermit crab larvae hatch at the third stage, the zoea. In this larval stage, the
On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection the connection between natural selection and systems theory. On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection is the title of a joint presentation of two scientific papers to the Linnean Society of London on 1 July 1858: "On The Tendency of Varieties to Depart Indefinitely from the Original Type" by Alfred Russel Wallace and an "Extract from an unpublished Work on Species" from Charles Darwin's "Essay"
