EXAMPLE: So a human (Homo sapiens) ate your lobster (Panulirus argus). Robert Ahrens1, and Don Behringer1 1 Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL., Corresponding author email: Robert Ahrens rahrens@ufl.edu Documented interaction between humans and lobster are common. We present an analysis of high speed video for a carapace crushing interaction between a human and lobster at a restaurant in the Florida Keys. Relative attack and avoidance trajectories suggest that lobsters adopt a ‘play dead’ strategy to avoid predation. This strategy proved suboptimal and likely results in high predation rates., Presenting author status: Non-student Presentation type: Oral

Keynote speaker: Dr. Janet Nye, UNC Chapel Hill
“Moving beyond single species assessments: responses of marine ecosystems and food webs to warming”

Dr. Janet Nye is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Marine Sciences. Her research focuses on the effects of climate variability and climate change on fish, fisheries, and marine ecosystems. Specifically, she studies how climate and fishing interact to cause shifts in spatial distribution and abundance of fish and invertebrates in the Northwest Atlantic, including local fisheries in Long Island Sound and Great South Bay. Dr. Nye’s research is used to inform how climate change may affect species that have been petitioned under the Endangered Species Act.
