This dataset includes behavioral observations of individual mangrove tree crabs, Aratus pisonii: the proportion of time spent sitting, moving, feeding, or not visible. Size and sex of the crabs, water temperature, and tidal period of the observations were also recorded. Crabs were collected near Fort Pierce, Florida from a dock area and released into one of three habitats: mangrove, saltmarsh or under the dock.
