Size increase at molt is reduced following multiple limb regeneration in the shore crabs, Hemigrapsus oregonensis and Pachygrapsus crassipes. Limb loss per se does not influence postmolt size. Effect of increasing number of regenerating limbs is additive. Postmolt size is programmed early in the premolt period of the preceding instar and is probably not readily influenced by water uptake mechanics at ecdysis. A simple model for growth, molting, and regeneration in heavily calcified Crustacea is developed from the viewpoint of adaptive strategies and energetic considerations.
在俄勒冈招潮蟹和厚蟹多次断肢再生后，蜕皮时的体型增长会减少。断肢本身并不影响蜕皮后的体型。再生肢体数量增加的影响是累加的。蜕皮后的体型在之前龄期的蜕皮前期早期就已设定，可能不容易受到蜕皮时水分吸收机制的影响。从适应性策略和能量考虑的角度，建立了一个关于钙化程度高的甲壳类动物生长、蜕皮和再生的简单模型。
