Inter-Cohort Cannibalism of Early Benthic Phase Blue King Crabs (Paralithodes platypus): Alternate Foraging Strategies in Different Habitats Lead to Different Functional Responses
Figure 4
Average (± SE) predator crab activity in sand and shell habitat.
We define “motionless” as crabs not moving, “walking” as crabs moving laterally, and “foraging” as crabs consuming prey or crabs with repeated movements of chelae from the substrate to the mouth. Different letters indicate statistical significance between habitats for each behavior (t test, p≤0.05).
