Regional study of Melampus bidentatus lengths in northeast U.S. salt marshes.

Summary

Short name: 

HTL-MAR-Regional-SnailLength

Abstract: 

We sampled the coffee-bean snail, Melampus bidentatus in  four habitats (Spartina patens, tall/creekside S. alterniflora, stunted S. alterniflora, and transitional S. patens) in 8 marshes in the northeast U.S. , including the Plum Island Estuary. Overall, snails were larger in the stunted S. alternilfora and transitional S. patens habitats than in S. patens ones. Only 2 snails were found in the tall S. alterniflora. These data are published in Johnson and Williams 2017  (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.3291/full) and refered to as the Regional Study.
