Evidence that potential fish predators elicit the production of carapace vibrations by the American lobster [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
American lobsters (Homarus americanus) will on rare occasions produce sounds by vibrating their dorsal carapace. Although this behavior can be elicited in the laboratory by handling lobsters, the stimulus that triggers the production of sounds in the ...

Examining Scale Dependent Environmental Effects on American Lobster (Homarus americanus) Spatial Distribution in a Changing Gulf of Maine

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The Gulf of Maine (GOM) is a highly complex environment and previous studies have suggested the need to account for spatial nonstationarity in species distribution models (SDMs) for the American lobster (Homarus americanus). To explore impacts of spatial
