Carcinus maenas (the “shore crab” or “European green crab”) is a very proficient invader
(considered to be one of the world's 100 worst invaders by the IUCN) due to its phenotypic …

Artificial lighting at night (ALAN) produced by urban, industrial, and roadway lighting, as well
as other sources, has dramatically increased in recent decades, especially in coastal …

The Earth's oceans brim with an incredible diversity of microscopic lifeforms, including motile
planktonic larvae, whose survival critically depends on effective dispersal in the water …

Animal behavior in space and time is structured by the perceived day/night cycle. However,
this is modified by the animals' own movement within its habitat, creating a realized diel light …

The blue crab Callinectes sapidus Rathbun has been the subject of scientific investigation
for more than 100 years. The crab is a key predator in shallow estuarine and coastal …

Morphological taxonomic methods are currently insufficient to satisfy the rising demand for
taxonomic information and rapid sample turnover required to support conservation and …

Developing physiological mechanistic models to predict species' responses to climate‐
driven environmental variables remains a key endeavor in ecology. Such approaches are …

Marine animals with complex life cycles may move passively or actively for fertilization,
dispersal, predator avoidance, resource acquisition, and migration, and over scales from …

We examined prey selection and foraging behaviors of the crab Charybdis japonica
exposed to four combinations of pH (7.3 and 8.1) and temperature (18° C and 25° C). The …

The across‐shore transport of meroplanktonic larvae is predominantly driven by coastal
physical processes, resulting in episodic recruitment of benthic species. Historically, due to …
