Dataset: P. herbstii: Field personality distribution (Ecology, 2012)
Deployment: Griffen_lab

We collected crabs haphazardly in high (intertidal) and low (subtidal) shore areas by removing oyster clusters and capturing all large crabs that were present (crab size range: 30.1–39.0 mm carapace width). High areas were defined as areas of the oyster reef that were exposed daily during semidiurnal low tides throughout the monthly tidal cycle (and where crabs were sampled that were used in the portions of this study described above), whereas low areas were defined as the lowest regions of the oyster reef that could be accessed by monthly spring tides, but that were normally under water at all times except during extreme tides (evidenced by the presence of abundant sponges).  Intertidal and subtidal sites for collection were adjacent to each other, separated by approximately 1.5 m vertically. For each crab that was collected (n = 15 from each tidal height), we repeated the experiment described for the dataset “Refuge_use” that was used to assess proportion of time spent in refuge use in the presence and absence of predator risk cues.
