An evaluation of the effects of blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) behavior on the efficacy of crab pots as a tool for estimating population abundance [PDF]
, 2011 Crab traps have been used extensively in studies on the population dynamics of blue crabs to provide estimates of catch per unit of effort; however, these estimates have been determined without adequate consideration of escape rates.

The Ability of Horseshoe Crabs (Limulus polyphemus) To Detect Changes in Temperature [PDF]
, 2016 Previous studies have suggested that horseshoe crabs prefer warm water, suggesting that they may be able to detect changes in water temperature. The overall goal of this study was to test this hypothesis.

Are infestations of Cymomelanodactylus killing Acropora cytherea in the Chagos archipelago? [PDF]
, 2010 Associations between branching corals and infaunal crabs are well known, mostly due to the beneficial effects of Trapezia and Tetralia crabs in protecting host corals from crown-of-thorns starfish (e.g., Pratchett et al.

Coupling between fast and slow oscillator circuits in Cancer borealis is temperature-compensated
eLife, 2021 Coupled oscillatory circuits are ubiquitous in nervous systems. Given that most biological processes are temperature-sensitive, it is remarkable that the neuronal circuits of poikilothermic animals can maintain coupling across a wide range of ...
