Project: The role of the sensory environment and predator chemical signal properties in determining NCE strength in cascading interactions on oyster reefs (SensoryNCE)

Abstract

Mud crab predation on oyster spat in the presence of caged blue crab predators placed various distances away from mud crab refuge. Field experiments were conducted at two different sites on Skidaway Island, GA during two different tidal types to determine the effect of current speed and turbulence on mud crab perceptive range. These data were published in Pruett and Weissburg, 2018.
