ANOVA results for mesocosm study proportional survival of juvenile clams, as well as handling time (HT), search time (ST), and encounter rate (ER) of blue crabs Callinectes sapidus feeding on juvenile clams.

Two species (Mya arenaria and Mercenaria mercenaria) were offered to blue crabs Callinectes sapidus at two densities (low and medium) in tanks with four different habitats (sand, sand with shell hash, sand with oyster shell halves, and sand with live seagrass); all were included in the ANOVA model as fixed factors. Data were Box-Cox transformed (λ = -0.14; survival only) or fourth-root transformed (HT, ST, and ER) prior to analysis. Significant p values (at α = 0.05 for main effects and α = 0.20 for interaction terms) are bolded.
