Supply-side invasion ecology: characterizing propagule pressure in coastal ecosystems Open
The observed rates and deleterious impacts of biological invasions have caused significant alarm in recent years, driving efforts to reduce the risk (establishment) of new introductions. Characterizing the supply of propagules is key to un…

Induced defenses in response to an invading crab predator: An explanation of historical and geographic phenotypic change Open
The expression of defensive morphologies in prey often is correlated with predator abundance or diversity over a range of temporal and spatial scales. These patterns are assumed to reflect natural selection via differential predation on ge…

Recovery of Claw Size and Function Following Autotomy in <i>Cancer productus</i> (Decapoda: Brachyura) Open
We examined recovery of claw size and function following autotomy in red rock crabs Cancer productus. We also tested for costs of regeneration to growth and documented the frequency of claw injury in C. productus populations in Barkley Sou…

Comparison of lung sounds and gas trapping in the study of airway mechanics. Open
We have previously shown that gas is trapped in isolated animal lungs and have proposed that this gas-trapping process is related to meniscus formation in the small airways of the lung. The purpose of this investigation was to compare how …
