Model-based evaluation of critical nursery habitats for juvenile blue crabs through ontogeny: abundance and survival in seagrass, salt marsh, and unstructured bottom

This study evaluates abundance and survival of juvenile blue crabs across seagrass, salt marsh, and sand habitats, finding seagrass supports small juveniles and salt marsh supports larger ones, with survival linked to habitat structure and size.

Ontogenetic Patterns in Juvenile Blue Crab density: Effects of Habitat and Turbidity in a Chesapeake Bay Tributary

This study examines size-specific habitat use and turbidity effects on juvenile blue crab density in different estuarine habitats during recruitment.

Assessment of treatment-specific tethering survival bias for the juvenile blue crab Callinectes sapidus in a simulated salt marsh

The paper tests if tethering juvenile blue crabs in simulated salt marsh habitats introduces treatment-specific survival bias, finding no such bias across varying shoot densities.

Effects of structural complexity and water depth on the juvenile blue crab Callinectes sapidus in a simulated salt marsh mesocosm

This study examines how structural complexity and water depth affect juvenile blue crab survival in a simulated salt marsh mesocosm, finding that shoot density increases survival while water depth does not.

Facilitation between ecosystem engineers, salt marsh grass and mussels, produces pattern formation on salt marsh shorelines

The paper shows that facilitation between salt marsh grass and mussels creates spatial patterns on salt marsh shorelines.
