Grooming behaviors and fouling of the spider crab Libinia dubia (Decapoda: Epialtidae)
NaupliusBody fouling has been reduced by grooming behaviors. In decapods, grooming has been focused on gills, sensory structures, and jointed appendages. In this study, grooming behaviors of the spider crab, Libinia dubia H.

Fragment Edges Benefit a Common Predator of Pollinators via Bottom‐Up Effects
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study investigated the hypotheses regarding the effects of habitat fragmentation on spider biomass and causing bottom‐up or top‐down effects on multi‐trophic relationships. ABSTRACT Defaunation following habitat fragmentation typically threatens predators at higher trophic levels, which further alter prey and plants via top‐down effects.

Intact coastal nursery rearing amid climate‐driven phenological shifts in threatened salmon
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Literature linking phenology to climate has proliferated in recent decades and shows that climate change has reorganized seasonal opportunities worldwide. However, this literature often quantifies changes in point measures of timing (e.g., beginnings and peaks) without context about duration (e.g., rearing season length) or performance (e.g ...

Adaptations by the locomotor systems of terrestrial and amphibious crabs walking freely on land and underwater [PDF]
, 2004 What are the mechanisms underlying adaptation to load by locomotor systems? Amphibious shore crabs (Carcinus maenas) must routinely accommodate large load changes as they move in and out of water, where buoyancy supports a large percentage of their ...

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

The diversity and evolution of chelicerate hemocyanins
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background Oxygen transport in the hemolymph of many arthropod species is facilitated by large copper-proteins referred to as hemocyanins. Arthropod hemocyanins are hexamers or oligomers of hexamers, which are characterized by a high O2 transport ...

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent
