Efficient leave-one-out cross-validation for Bayesian non-factorized normal and Student-t models

Paul-Christian Burkner et al.

Summary: This study introduces a method to efficiently compute and validate exact and approximate LOO-CV for any Bayesian non-factorized model with a multivariate normal or Student-t distribution. The method is demonstrated using lagged simultaneously autoregressive (SAR) models as a case study.

Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Population Structure in Southern New England Tidal Rivers: Patterns of Shallow-Water, Unvegetated Habitat Use and Quality

David L. Taylor et al.

Summary: The study examined the population structure of blue crabs in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, revealing two distinct age classes occupying the rivers during spring and summer. Different age and sex groups of crabs were spatially segregated along a salinity gradient, and abundance and growth rates were related to dissolved oxygen levels and water temperature.

Estimating and Applying Fish and Invertebrate Density and Production Enhancement from Seagrass, Salt Marsh Edge, and Oyster Reef Nursery Habitats in the Gulf of Mexico

Philine S. E. zu Ermgassen et al.

Summary: Seagrasses, salt marsh edges, and oyster reefs contribute to the enhancement of fish and invertebrate production, with varying levels of effectiveness. The difference in production enhancement between habitats is attributed to factors such as species-specific densities and commercial value. The quantification of production enhancement within specific embayments can guide habitat management decisions and emphasize the importance of habitat protection and restoration.

Saved by the shell: Oyster reefs can shield juvenile blue crabs Callinectes sapidus

Katherine S. Longmire et al.

Summary: This study found that juvenile blue crabs have a significantly higher survival rate on oyster reef habitats compared to bare sand habitats, and the survival rate tends to increase with crab carapace width in both habitats. In oyster reef habitats, the main successful predators on juvenile blue crabs were northern pufferfish, while in sand habitats, it was adult blue crabs. The high survival rate in oyster reef habitats suggests that they may provide refuge from predators for juvenile blue crabs, expanding the ecosystem services provided by oyster reefs.
