Robotic biomimicry demonstrates behavioral control of planktonic dispersal in the sea

MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES, 663, 51–61.

By: S. Morgan*, C. Dibble*, M. Susner*, T. Wolcott n, D. Wolcott n & J. Largier n

author keywords: Dispersal; Plankton; Larval transport; Vertical migration; Robotics
TL;DR: The ability of weakly swimming plankton to control their fate and replenish populations in a dynamic ocean is of central importance to the ecology and evolution of marine life and to the management of resources in a changing climate. (via Semantic Scholar)

2011 journal article

Environmental and endogenous control of selective tidal-stream transport behavior during blue crab Callinectes sapidus spawning migrations

Marine Biology, 159(3), 621–631.

By: M. Darnell *, T. Wolcott n & D. Rittschof*

TL;DR: This study examined vertical swimming behavior of migrating female blue crabs tethered in habitats they could encounter during migration and found differences in swimming frequency among sites are hypothesized to be responses to environmental cues, including flow regime.

2005 journal article

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)

2005 journal article

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.

By: R. Aguilar *, A. Hines*, T. Wolcott n, D. Wolcott n, M. Kramer * & R. Lipcius *

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.

1991 journal article

A telemetric study of microhabitat selection by premolt and molting blue crabs,Callinectes sapidus(Rathbun), within a subestuary of the Pamlico River, North Carolina

Marine Behaviour and Physiology, 19(2), 133–148.

By: M. Shirley* & T. Wolcott n

author keywords: BLUE CRAB; CALLINECTES-SAPIDUS; HABITAT SELECTION; MOLTING; PHYSIOLOGY; ECOLOGY
TL;DR: Premolt crabs became more selective of habitat salinity and oxygen as they approached ecdysis, and habitats used during premolt by male and female crabs had higher bivalve densities than did ecdysial habitats. (via Semantic Scholar)
