Unexpected stability in faunal population abundances following an estuary‐wide collapse of oysters
EcosphereLive oyster reefs are considered a critical recruitment habitat for estuarine faunal populations as localized in situ or mesocosm studies have demonstrated many faunal species prefer live oyster habitat.

The <i>Carpiodes</i> Conundrum: Molecular Hypothesis Testing Informs Conservation Applications for Carpsuckers (Catostomidae: <i>Carpiodes</i>) in Texas and Beyond. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study investigates both distribution‐wide and within‐Texas genetic patterns of a group of fishes in need of greater taxonomic research (Catostomidae: Carpiodes). We recovered lineages of Carpiodes in the southeastern United States that are likely cryptic undescribed species and concurrently identify the native and taxonomic status of a uniquely ...

Evidence for gene flow from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean in bonnethead sharks (Sphyrna tiburo). [PDF]
Ecol EvolGenomic data from bonnethead sharks reveals connectivity between the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of Florida, a zone that forms a genetic barrier for some larger shark species. Our demographic model also revealed rapid population growth and gene flow from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic Coast, suggesting that sharks may migrate south for mating.

Simulating the Response of Estuarine Salinity to Natural and Anthropogenic Controls
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016 The response of salinity in Apalachicola Bay, Florida to changes in water management alternatives and storm and sea level rise is studied using an integrated high-resolution hydrodynamic modeling system based on Curvilinear-grid Hydrodynamics in 3D (CH3D)

Model Sensitivity to Topographic Uncertainty in Meso- and Microtidal Marshes
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020 Light detection and ranging (Lidar) derived digital elevation models are widely used in modeling coastal marsh systems. However, the topographic error in these models can affect simulations of marsh coverage and characteristics.

Predatory Bacteriovorax communities ordered by various prey species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The role of predation in altering microbial communities has been studied for decades but few examples are known for bacterial predators. Bacteriovorax are halophilic prokaryotes that prey on susceptible gram-negative bacteria.

Distribution of Vibrio cholerae in the Apalachicola (Florida) Bay Estuary
Journal of Food Protection, 1984 Vibrio cholerae non-O1 was found throughout the Apalachicola, FL, estuary. V. cholerae O1 was isolated primarily at the City of Apalachicola sewage treatment plant, Scipio Creek and the north shore of St. George Island. Highest concentrations of both serogroups occurred in August and November.
