Description

This data is part of a project exploring the impact of climate-change induced range expansion on traditional ecogeographic patterns of life history. Data were collected June-August 2013.

Methods & Sampling

We collected ovigerous A. pisonii from mixed marsh habitats (Avalon State Park, FL) and mangrove habitats (Anastasia State Park, FL). Crabs were monitored twice daily for larval hatching. Twelve newly hatched larvae from each brood were randomly selected and pipetted into individual Kimble borosilicate glass culture tubes (15 mm x 85 mm) with ~80 mL of 0.2 μm filtered seawater. Water was partially changed and larval mortality was monitored daily to determine starvation resistance (days) as a proxy for maternal energy provisioning.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- renamed parameters to BCO-DMO standard
- replaced spaces with underscores; removed commas
- added latitude and longitude for mapping purposes
- reordered columns
