Land hermit crabs locate foods by detecting volatile chemical cues. Sequences of food choices made by individual crabs revealed that choices depended upon the immediately previous choice, with the previously chosen food less preferred. Food odor preferences were manipulated in the field by exposing crab populations to different foods before testing their preferences. In both the individual- and population-level tests, land hermit crabs displayed negative preference induction. Neither sex nor age influenced land hermit crab food odor preferences. Crabs needed 9 hours to learn food odor preferences and remembered these preferences for 6 hours.
