2015 journal article

Deep-water seed populations for red tide blooms in the Gulf of Mexico

MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES, 529, 1–16.

By: L. Waters n, T. Wolcott n, D. Kamykowski n & G. Sinclair n

author keywords: Harmful algal blooms; Benthic orientation; Karenia brevis; Nutrient limitation; Biomimetic; Lagrangian drifter
TL;DR: Measurements of nutrients and light from the water column in a potential bloom- forming region of the WFS were higher than the model-generated requirements for growth, suggesting that coastal nutrient distributions could support a coastal population offshore. (via Semantic Scholar)

Early events in seminal fluid and sperm storage in the female blue crab Callinectes sapidus Rathbun: Effects of male mating history, male size, and season

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 319(1-2), 43–55.

By: D. Wolcott n, C. Hopkins n & T. Wolcott n

author keywords: blue crab; Callinectes sapidus; reproduction; seminal fluid; sperm limitation; sperm viability
TL;DR: It is found that all seminal fluid is gone by 5 weeks post-mating, making it unlikely that it plays a role during long-term storage of sperm. (via Semantic Scholar)

The timing and route of movement and migration of post-copulatory female blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, from the upper Chesapeake Bay

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 319(1-2), 117–128.

author keywords: Callinectes sapidus; Chesapeake Bay; female blue crab; mark-recapture; migration; tagging
TL;DR: A mark-recapture study of mature females released in a mesohaline portion of the upper Chesapeake Bay indicated that migration occurred during a short fall period rather than over the prolonged period of summer to fall mating. (via Semantic Scholar)

2005 journal article

Unnatural selection: Effects of a male-focused size-selective fishery on reproductive potential of a blue crab population

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 319(1-2), 29–41.

By: A. Carver n, T. Wolcott n, D. Wolcott n & A. Hines*

author keywords: blue crab; Callinectes supidus; sex ratio; sperm limitation
TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of the fishery on a blue crab population in upper Chesapeake Bay by collecting crabs in areas of markedly different fishing pressure found some males in pre-copulatory pairs are as sperm depleted as males that had just completed copulation, indicating that they are mating more frequently than they can replace their seminal resources.

Biotelemetry: a mechanistic approach to ecology

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 19(6), 334–343.

By: S. Cooke, S. Hinch, M. Wikelski, R. Andrews, L. Kuchel, T. Wolcott, P. Butler

TL;DR: This review suggests that this technology has immense potential for research in basic and applied animal ecology, and efforts to incorporate biotelemetry into broader ecological research programs should yield novel information that has been challenging to collect historically from free-ranging animals in their natural environments.

Behavioral responses of free-ranging blue crabs to episodic hypoxia. I. Movement

MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES, 259(2003), 215–225.

By: G. Bell n, D. Eggleston* & T. Wolcott*

author keywords: avoidance behavior; hypoxia; movement; biotelemetry; blue crab; Callinectes sapidus; orientation; upwelling; Neuse River Estuary; estuary
TL;DR: It is suggested that crabs may have fed on prey other than benthic infauna, or that upwelling events may not have lasted long enough to cause infauna to migrate close enough to the sediment surface to be vulnerable to predation by blue crabs. (via Semantic Scholar)

Post-mating behavior, intramolt growth, and onset of migration to Chesapeake Bay spawning grounds by adult female blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus Rathbun

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY, 295(1), 107–130.

By: H. Turner n, D. Wolcott n, T. Wolcott n & A. Hines*

author keywords: female blue crab; Callinectes sapidus; foraging; growth; energetics; migration; telemetry; Chesapeake Bay; USA
TL;DR: Using telemetry and mark–recapture techniques, post-copulatory females in the upper bay were shown to forage at high rates, alternating between meandering and directed movement in the area of mating for weeks to months, and to begin migrating in October, where they probably do not spawn.

By: M. Kendall*, D. Wolcott n, T. Wolcott* & A. Hines n

author keywords: blue crab; reproduction; male size; mating history; ejaculate contents
TL;DR: Females mated by males with fully recovered seminal resources received significantly more sperm than those mated with males that had mated once previously, regardless of male size. (via Semantic Scholar)

Role of Behavior in meeting osmotic challenges

Wolcott, T. G., & Wolcott, D. L. (2001, September). AMERICAN ZOOLOGIST, Vol. 41, pp. 795–805.

By: T. Wolcott n & D. Wolcott n

TL;DR: To draw “comparative and integrative” inferences, investigators must strive to understand an organism's actual challenges by “seeing” the world from its perspective, and then making observations and performing experiments in the context of the “real world” experienced by that organism.

author keywords: foraging; agonism; Callinectes sapidus; Macoma balthica; ultrasonic telemetry; Chesapeake Bay
TL;DR: The interactive effects of predator density and prey distribution on the foraging behavior of an important estuarine predator were studied, at a fine temporal scale, using ultrasonic telemetry to show an inverse correlation between agonistic activity and foraging success.

The influence of male mating history on male-male competition and female choice in mating associations in the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus (Rathbun)

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY, 239(1), 23–32.

By: M. Kendall* & T. Wolcott n

author keywords: Callinectes; female choice; male-male competition; mating history
TL;DR: Recently mated males were paired significantly more often than males that had not recently mated, and the combined effects of the lack of mate choice by females and high mating frequency of some males may result in many females in the population receiving low quantities of sperm.
