    Spiny lobster sounds can be detectable over kilometres underwater

    Animal collection, characteristics and care For the experiments, we used a total of 24 P. elephas individuals of a wide range of sizes. Only inter-moult individuals with full sets of intact appendages were selected for this study. We carefully collected 17 juveniles by hand while scuba diving in the Bay of Perros Guirec (48°50′2.044″ N, 3°26′28.312″ […] More

    Density-dependence tips the change of plant–plant interactions under environmental stress

    Model A detailed model description is provided in the Supplementary methods. Here, we only illustrate the core equations. In the model, an individual’s potential growth rate (without neighbors) is defined as: $$frac{{dm}}{{dt}} = am^{frac{3}{4}}left[ {1 – S – left( {frac{m}{M}} right)^{frac{1}{4}}} right]$$ (1) where m is total mass, a is a species-specific constant, and M […] More
