Butler, Ohio, resident Kathryn McQueen from Miami University's Project Dragonfly has published an original article titled "Planktonic ingress of fiddler crab megalopae to the Newport River Estuary, NC: evidence for semilunar periodicity in Uca pugnax and species-specific sampling bias by hog's hair larval collectors" in Marine Ecology.

In the article, McQueen described how she sampled the settlement of fiddler crab megalopae onto hog's hair collectors. Marine Ecology is which publishes original contributions on the structure and dynamics of marine benthic and pelagic ecosystems, and on the critical links between ecology and evolution of marine organisms.
