- Unnatural selection: Effects of a male-focused size-selective fishery on reproductive potential of a blue crab population (2005, background): “A large proportion of female blue crabs, at least from upper Chesapeake Bay, mates in one summer but produces no broods until the next spring (Turner et al., 2003).”
- Winter distribution of blue crab Callinectes sapidus in Chesapeake Bay : application and cross-validation of a two-stage generalized additive model (2005, background): “…samples at these middle and upper Bay locations, but it is unclear whether these individuals represent crabs that failed to complete their migration to the lower Bay, as suggested by Turner et al. (2003), or if these deep middle and upper Bay channels also represent preferred overwintering habitat.”
- A hypothesis about the origin of sperm storage in the Eubrachyura, the effects of seminal receptacle structure on mating strategies and the evolution of crab diversity: How did a race to be first become a race to be last? (2011, background): “Crabs belonging to the Cancridae and most of the Portunidae mate when the female is soft, immediately after moulting, while those belonging to the Majidae (the first mating may be with soft females), Hymenosomatidae, Varunidae and Ocypodidae mate when both sexes are hard shelled (Hines, 1991; Turner”
- Evidence for sperm limitation in the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus (2003, background): “Average seminal receptacle weight increased during the summer from about 2 g in July to about 3 g in October, when mature females left the Rhode River to migrate down to the lower Chesapeake Bay (Turner et al., 2003; Hines et al., unpubl.).”
- Lifetime reproductive potential of female blue crabs Callinectes sapidus in North Carolina, USA (2009, background): “…then forage, develop mature ovaries, extrude a first clutch, and undertake a seaward spawning migration (Van Engel 1958, Tankersley et al. 1998, Turner et al. 2003, Forward et al. 2005) using both ebb-tide transport and directed walking during flood tides (Forward et al. 2003, Carr et al.…”
- The timing and route of movement and migration of post-copulatory female blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, from the upper Chesapeake Bay (2005, background): “Turner et al. (2003) studied movement, feeding behavior, and energy allocations of mature females during the period immediately following mating in upper Chesapeake Bay.”
