Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

At each site, crabs (mean sample size ± SE=112.36 ± 6.93 at each site) were randomly collected during daytime high tides. We measured their carapace width to the nearest tenth of a millimeter, identified their sex, and determined the reproductive status (gravid or not gravid) of females.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- renamed parameters to BCO-DMO standard
- replaced spaces with underscores; removed commas
- added longitude for mapping purposes

version 2017-08-03 replaces version 2016-03-01: corrected latitude of Twin Cays, Belize
