Some physical properties of shelter that influence den preference in spiny lobsters
TLDR
In this paper, several properties of shelter were analyzed for their importance in den selection by the California spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus (Randall), and it was found that dens of spiny lobsters usually had more than one entrance and that entrances were much smaller than the inner diameter of a den.About:

Shelter scaling regulates survival of juvenile Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus
TL;DR: Spiny lobster survival depends not only upon the availability of shelter, but also on the scaling between shelter size and lobster size, so placement of appropriately-scaled artificial shelters in nursery areas like the study site is likely to augment habitat carrying capacity by increasing protection from predators.

Predation on early juvenile spiny lobsters Panulirus argus (Latreille): influence of size and shelter
TL;DR: Field experiments indicate that juveniles attain a partial size refuge from a suite of abundant algal lobster predators at about the time they emerge from settling habitat, and predation on the algal and early transitional phases is a potential bottleneck to population recruitment.

Evolutionary ecology of social and sexual systems : crustaceans as model organisms
J. Emmett Duffy,Martin Thiel +1 more
TL;DR: This book synthesizes the state of the field in crustacean behavior and sociobiology and places it in a conceptually based, comparative framework that will be valuable to active researchers and students in animal behavior, ecology, and evolutionary biology.

TL;DR: L'augmentation observee du nombre des juveniles de petite taille dans les sites ou l'on avait ajoute des abris n'etait pas attribuable a l'immigration, mais les consequences a plus grande echelle de l'accroissement of the population of langoustines sur les communautes naturelles environnantes sont inconnues.

Artificial substrate and coral reef restoration: what do we need to know to know what we need?
TL;DR: It is concluded that until substantial additional research is accomplished, the use of artificial substrate in coral reef restoration will remain a best guess' endeavor.

Geometry for the selfish herd.
TL;DR: An antithesis to the view that gregarious behaviour is evolved through benefits to the population or species is presented, and simply defined models are used to show that even in non-gregarious species selection is likely to favour individuals who stay close to others.

Optimal behavior: can foragers balance two conflicting demands?
TL;DR: A backswimmer, Notonecta hoffmanni, was capable of balancing these two conflicting factors adaptively and was able to compare the observed behaviors with predictions derived from fitness considerations.
