Endogenous swimming rhythms underlying secondary dispersal of early juvenile blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus

Forward, R. B., Reyns, N. B., Diaz, H., Cohen, J. H., & Eggleston, D. B. (2004, December 15). Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, Vol. 316, pp. 91–100.

author keywords: blue crabs; Callinectes sapidus; circadian rhythms; horizontal transport; secondary dispersal
topics (OpenAlex): Crustacean biology and ecology; Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies; Marine and fisheries research
TL;DR: While responses to environmental factors probably control the onset and end of vertical swimming by early juvenile blue crabs during flood tides in tidal areas, a circadian rhythm underlies secondary dispersal at night. (via Semantic Scholar)

Environmentally-controlled, density-dependent secondary dispersal in a local estuarine crab population

Reyns, N. B., & Eggleston, D. B. (2004, May 13). Oecologia, Vol. 140, pp. 280–288.

By: N. Reyns n & D. Eggleston n

author keywords: blue crab; density-dependence; environmental cues; post-settlement emigration
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Animals; Body Size; Brachyura / physiology; Demography; Environment; North Carolina; Population Density; Population Dynamics; Spatial Behavior / physiology; Water Movements; Wind
topics (OpenAlex): Marine and coastal plant biology; Crustacean biology and ecology; Marine and fisheries research
TL;DR: The results suggest that dispersal occurs rapidly following settlement, and promotes blue crab metapopulation persistence by redistributing juveniles from high-density settlement habitats to areas characterized by low postlarval supply. (via Semantic Scholar)

2003 article

Endogenous swimming rhythms of juvenile blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, as related to horizontal transport

Forward, R. B., Reyns, N. B., Diaz, H., Cohen, J. H., & Eggleston, D. B. (2003, October 25). Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, Vol. 299, pp. 63–76.

author keywords: blue crab; Callinectes sapidus; juvenile; circadian rhythm; horizontal transport; secondary dispersal
topics (OpenAlex): Crustacean biology and ecology; Marine and fisheries research; Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies
TL;DR: Field sampling in Pamlico Sound, NC, USA indicated that J4–5 juveniles were most abundant in the water column during the night, and Dispersal at night reduces predation by visual predators, and allows early juvenile blue crabs to disperse planktonically from initial settlement sites.
