Difference in number of individuals caught in light traps with playback of coral reef
noise. Mean number of individuals (

larvae of common coastal crab species is related to the acoustic signature of the
different habitat types. A decreased metamorphic time was observed in megalopae
of five species of temperate and tropical crabs when exposed to the sounds of
the optimal settlement habitat type.
