Holocene evolution of Apalachicola Bay, Florida [PDF]

Fact Sheet, 2011
A program of geophysical mapping and vibracoring was conducted to better understand the geologic evolution of Apalachicola Bay. Analyses of the geophysical data and sediment cores along with age control provided by 34 AMS 14C dates on marine shells and wood reveal the following history.

The curious case of eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica stock status in Apalachicola Bay, Florida

Ecology and Society, 2015
The Apalachicola Bay, Florida, eastern oyster ( Crassostrea virginica ) industry has annually produced about 10% of the U.S. oyster harvest. Today’s simple individual-operator, hand-tonging, small-vessel fishery is remarkably similar to the one that ...

The application of unoccupied aerial systems (UAS) for monitoring intertidal oyster density and abundance

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a coastal foundation species currently under threat from anthropogenic activities both globally and in the Apalachicola Bay region of north Florida.

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)

Unexpected stability in faunal population abundances following an estuary‐wide collapse of oysters

Ecosphere
Live 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 Evol
Our 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 ...

Phylogenetic and Environmental Insights Into the Biogeography of the Western Blacknose Dace, <i>Rhinichthys obtusus</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Pleistocene glaciations have shaped freshwater fish evolution and distribution patterns across North America. This study investigated the phylogeographical history of the Western Blacknose Dace (Rhinichthys obtusus) using mitochondrial genomic data, revealing three major clades that diverged 2–1.5 million years ago during Pleistocene glaciations when ...

Simulating synergistic impacts of climate change and human induced stressors on a northern Gulf of Mexico estuarine food web

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Apalachicola Bay, an estuary located in northwest Florida, is likely to experience a continuing increase in the severity of the effects of changing climate and human-induced stressors, such as sea level rise and changes in freshwater inflow.

Evidence for gene flow from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean in bonnethead sharks (Sphyrna tiburo). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Genomic 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.

Coastal Wetland Soil Carbon Storage at Mangrove Range Limits in Apalachicola Bay, FL: Observations and Expectations

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Globally, mangrove range limits are expanding, often at the cost of adjacent coastal ecosystems including saltmarshes, potentially leading to a change in ecosystem services such as organic carbon (OC) sequestration.
