Tiny crabs, Dissodactylus crinitichelis Moreira, 1901 living associate with these irregular echinoids. It is unclear whether the presence of crabs can affect the fitness of hosts and if this effect may be dependent on the abundance of crabs that a sand dollar is capable of hosting. If we consider that sand dollars act as substrate for symbionts then, they are subject to intraspecific competition for space. Based on this assumption, we hypothesize that the abundance of crabs will be positively correlated with sand dollar size. Two sampling campaigns were made, one in September - 2011 and other in May - 2012. Sand dollars were counted and measured in situ at the tidal flat in front of Cobras&#8217; Island (25° 29&#8217; 5&#8221; S - 48° 25&#8217; 48&#8221; W) in the Paranaguá Bay - Southern, Brazil. Four parallel transects were distributed between depths of 0.5 to 2 m and the number of individuals were counted in a sample area of 4 m². In another moment, 164 sand dollars and their symbionts were measured. We observed 906 specimens of E. emarginata (558 in Sep / 11 and 348 in May / 12). Sand dollar densities range from zero to 20 ind. 4 m-², and had an aggregate distribution pattern with patches of different densities within transects and periods (F2, 15 = 9.466, p &lt; 0.01). Patches were observed near to the coast in Sep / 11 compared with May / 12. The symbionts D. crinitichelis present a more variable distribution pattern if compared with sand dollars. In Sep / 11, crabs were clumped distributed as well as sand dollars. On the other hand, in May / 12 D. crinitichelis was random distributed, displaying a distinct pattern than those observed for E. emarginata hosts. No relationship between size of E. emarginata and the number symbionts was observed (Longitudinal axes: r = - 0.021, p &lt; 0.05; Transverse axes: r = - 0.017, p &gt; 0.05), refuting the hypothesis that space is a limiting resource for the crabs. On the contrary, distribution patterns of D. crinitichelis were seemingly influenced by the distribution of their host population, rather than by one single host specimen. This suggests that other factors (e.g., the spatial distribution and connectivity between patches within a population of sand dollars) may be more important for the population dynamics of D. crinitichelis than competition for space per se.

<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Encope emarginata se agrupa con frecuencia y las variaciones observadas en los sedimentos y en sus patrones espaciales de distribución pueden ser en función de los cambios en el régimen hidrodinámico local. Asociados con estos equinoideos irregulares viven pequeños cangrejos Dissodactylus crinitichelis. Si se considera que los equinoideos actúan como sustrato para sus simbiontes, estos están sujetos a competición intraespecífica por espacio. Basándose en esta suposición, fue creada la hipótesis de que la abundancia de cangrejos y el tamaño del equinoideo se correlacionan positivamente. Se hicieron dos muestreos, uno en septiembre de 2011 y otro en mayo de 2012. Los equinoideos fueron contados y medidos in situ, en la llanura de marea frente a Isla de las Cobras (25° 29&#8217; 5&#8221; S - 48° 25&#8217; 48&#8221; W) en la Bahía de Paranaguá - Sur, Brasil. Fueron distribuidos cuatro transectos en paralelo a la playa entre profundidades de 0,5 a 2m, y el número de organismos se contaron en un área de 4 m-2. Después, 164 equinoideos se midieron aleatoriamente (ejes longitudinales y transversales en la vista oral) y la cantidad de simbiontes por anfitrión fue contada. Observamos 906 especímenes de E. emarginata (558 en septiembre / 11 y 348 en mayo / 12), las densidades de equinoideos van de cero a 20 ind.4m-2. Los equinoideos siguieron un patrón de distribución agrupado con manchas de diferentes densidades dentro de los transectos y puntos (F2, 15 = 9.466, p &lt; 0.01). En septiembre / 11 fueron observadas manchas más cerca de la costa en comparación con mayo / 12. El simbionte D. crinitichelis muestra un patrón de distribución más variable cuando se compara con sus anfitriones. En septiembre / 11 los cangrejos eran agrupados, así como los equinoideos. Mientras en mayo / 12 D. crinitichelis se distribuyeron al azar, mostrando un patrón distinto de que los observados para E. emarginata. No se observó relación entre el tamaño de E. emarginata y el número de simbiontes (eje longitudinal: r = - 0.021, p &lt; 0.05; eje transversal: r = - 0.017, p &gt; 0.05), rechazando la hipótesis de que espacio es un recurso limitante para los cangrejos. Al contrario, los patrones de distribución de D. crinitichelis fueron aparentemente influenciados por la distribución de la población de los anfitriones, en lugar de por un solo espécimen. Esto sugiere que otros factores (por ejemplo, la distribución espacial y la conectividad entre manchas en las poblaciones de equinoideos) pueden ser más importantes para la dinámica poblacional de D. crinitichelis de que la competición por espacio en sí.]]></p></abstract>
