RICHARDS ET AL.: BEHAVIORAL INTERACTIONS OF AMERICAN LOBSTER AND CANCER CRABS 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



We are grateful to Saul B. Saila and H. Perry 

 Jeffries for their helpful suggestions throughout 

 the project. The Rhode Island Department of En- 

 vironmental Management generously provided 

 a boat and laboratory facilities. Additional lab- 

 oratory space was provided by the University of 

 Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanog- 

 raphy. Funding was provided by the University 

 of Rhode Island Sea Grant Development fund. 

 The thoughtful reviews of Jay K rouse, Robert 

 Elner, and a journal reviewer were much appre- 

 ciated.
