Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

We conducted throughout the summer reproductive peak (June, July, and August 2013) to investigate the relationship between body size distributions and reproductive effort. We surveyed populations in a representative mature mangrove forest (Avalon State Park, Fort Pierce, FL, 27.55N) and a representative mixed marsh (Anastasia State Park, St. Augustine, FL, 29.87N). At each of these representative sites, we collected female crabs by hand, measured CW to the nearest tenth of a millimeter, and determined their reproductive status (gravid or not gravid). We conducted all monthly surveys in the week preceding the full moon to capture periods of maximum reproductive effort for both populations.
