Reestablishing larval connectivity in an estuarine landscape: the importance of shoreline and subtidal oysters (Crassostrea virginica) in a comprehensive oyster restoration program

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2025.
The decline of oyster reefs in estuaries has resulted from a combination of chronic and acute disturbances. The loss has resulted in decreased yield for the oyster fishery as well as a decline in ecological benefits that has led to increased efforts to restore oyster reefs.

Projected changes in mangrove distribution and vegetation structure under climate change in the southeastern United States

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 11, Page 2285-2297, November 2024.
Abstract Aim The climate change‐induced transition from grass‐dominated marshes to woody‐plant‐dominated mangrove forests has the potential to impact the ecosystem goods and services provided by coastal wetlands. To better anticipate and prepare for these impacts, there is a need to advance understanding of future changes in mangrove distribution and ...

Understanding species limits through the formation of phylogeographic lineages

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
We present a set of tests to examine processes of speciation that will help delimit taxa given deep phylogeographic history and interaction within hybrid zones. Outcomes from distinct phylogeographic pairs of snakes in North America all have the signature of divergence before or near the mid‐Pleistocene often with low migration.

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.

Contrasting stocks and origins of particulate and mineral-associated soil organic carbon in a mangrove-salt marsh ecotone

Geoderma
The global warming-driven poleward expansion of mangrove habitats (e.g., Avicennia germinans and Rhizophora mangle) into temperate salt marshes (e.g., Spartina alterniflora and Juncus roemerianus) has been shown to alter coastal soil organic carbon (SOC)

Multi-reservoir system response to alternative stochastically simulated stationary hydrologic scenarios: An evaluation for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) Basin

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) Basin in the Southeast US Study focus: Operational rules of managed river systems are typically developed based on historical hydrology. This approach fails to consider alternative plausible hydrologic

Sampling design modifications to a fishery-independent monitoring survey balance the maintenance of long-term data with emerging management needs and funding limitations

Frontiers in Marine Science
Development of Florida’s marine Fisheries-Independent Monitoring (FIM) program began in 1985, and it initiated long-term monitoring in Tampa Bay in 1989 with the purpose of providing timely fishery-independent data and analyses to fishery managers for ...
