The Development of Spring-Actuated Mechanisms in Mantis Shrimp (Stomatopoda) and Snapping Shrimp (Alpheidae)
… of LaMSA morphology in two systems, the mantis shrimp Gonodactylaceus falcatus (Stomatopoda) and the snapping shrimp Alpheus heterochaelis (Alpheidae). I also examine the plasticity of LaMSA development in the snapping shrimp Alpheus heterochaelis. The mantis shrimp’s spring-actuated strike is …

Predictive Habitat Model for the Snapping Shrimp Genus <i>Alpheus</i> in the Coastal Southeastern United States
… to shore). The predicted probabilities of snapping shrimp absence were comparable to those found in the training data set for the Gulf of Mexico. The AUC indicated that the best model built on the Gulf of Mexico training data set was not able to predict snapping shrimp distribution in the …

Characterization of Soundscapes in Shallow Water Habitats of the Florida Keys (USA) and Their Influence on the Settlement of Larval Fish and Invertebrates
… sponges affected the densities and abundances of snapping shrimp (Chapter 4).</p> <p>I found that near-shore habitats exhibit distinct soundscapes, that habitat degradation alters those soundscapes, and that habitat restoration can reestablish natural soundscapes. Habitat type and time of day …

An investigation of the roles of geomagnetic and acoustic cues in whale navigation and orientation
… whales migrating near-shore listen to sounds of snapping shrimp to detect the presence of obstacles, such as rocky islands. A visual tracking study was used, together with hydrophone recordings near a rocky island, to determine whether the whales initiated an avoidance reaction at distances that …

Acoustic source localization
… noises. One source of impulse-like noise is the snapping shrimps. The acoustic signals they emit from snapping their claws hinder technologies, but can also be used as a source of ambient noise illumination due to the rough uniformity in their spatial distribution. Understanding the spatial …

The Importance of Bioacoustics for Dolphin Welfare: Soundscape Characterization with Implications for Management
… Monitoring (PAM) recordings over one year. Snapping shrimp were persistent and broadband, following a diel pattern. Fish sound production was pulsed and prominent in low frequencies (100 ─ 1000 Hz), and abiotic surface wave action contributed to noise in higher frequencies (15 ─ 28 kHz). …

Fish Vocalisation: Understanding its biological role from temporal and spatial characteristics
… soundscape. While the sounds of urchin and snapping shrimp have been well described, those of fish are poorly understood. Utilising sound recordings taken from a reef in the Cape Rodney to Okakari Point Marine Reserve, the present study described the vocalisations of two dominant fish …

Soundscape Ecology of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin Resting Bays
… during the daytime due to the sounds from snapping shrimp. In fact, peak Hawaiian spinner dolphin resting time co-occurs with the quietest part of the day. However, I also found that humans drastically alter this daytime soundscape with sound from offshore aquaculture, vessel sound and …

Predation On The Eastern Oyster Crassostrea Virginica On Intertidal Reefs Affected By Recreational Boating
… on reefs in Mosquito Lagoon were the big-claw snapping shrimp Alpheus heterochaelis, a filter-feeder, and the flat-back mud crab Eurypanopeus herbstii, a predator of oyster spat. Contrary to expections, analyses of community metrics showed that dead margins did not significantly affect the …
