A crab swarm at an ecological hotspot: patchiness and population density from AUV observations

A crab swarm at an ecological hotspot: patchiness and population density from AUV observations at a coastal, tropical seamount. Jesús Pineda et al (2016), PeerJ A research cruise to Hannibal Bank, a seamount and an ecological hotspot in the coastal eastern tropical Pacific Ocean off Panama, explored the zonation, biodiversity, and the ecological processes that contribute to the seamount’s elevated biomass. Here we describe the spatial structure of a benthic anomuran red
