Rare, long-distance dispersal underpins genetic connectivity in the pink sea fan, Eunicella verrucosa. [PDF]
Evol ApplAbstract Characterizing patterns of genetic connectivity in marine species is of critical importance given the anthropogenic pressures placed on the marine environment. For sessile species, population connectivity can be shaped by many processes, such as pelagic larval duration, oceanographic boundaries and currents.

Evaluating biodegradable alternatives to plastic mesh for small‐scale oyster reef restoration
Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Polyethylene plastic mesh is commonly used for containing oyster shells in small‐scale oyster reef restoration, but environmental and public health concerns have prompted investigations of biodegradable alternatives. Shallow (<0.5 m) and deep (approximately 1 m) oyster reefs (approximately 6 m2) were constructed in the Mission‐Aransas Estuary, Texas, U.

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 12, Page 3070-3083, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Oil spill exposures are highly dynamic and are not comparable to laboratory exposures used in standard toxicity tests. Toxicokinetic–toxicodynamic (TKTD) models allow translation of effects observed in the laboratory to the field. To improve TKTD model calibration, new and previously published data from 148 tests were analyzed to estimate ...

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Coastal marine habitats continue to be degraded, thereby compelling large‐scale restoration in many parts of the world. Whether restored habitats function similarly to natural habitats and fully recover lost ecosystem services is unclear. In estuaries, oyster reefs have been degraded by multiple anthropogenic activities including destructive ...

Anticipated effects of abiotic environmental change on intraspecific social interactions
Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 6, Page 2661-2693, December 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT Social interactions are ubiquitous across the animal kingdom. A variety of ecological and evolutionary processes are dependent on social interactions, such as movement, disease spread, information transmission, and density‐dependent reproduction and survival.

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Large‐scale research on seagrass‐associated benthic fauna is very important for future regional marine conservation. In our study, we investigated spatial and latitudinal variation of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages associated to Zostera noltei Hornemann, 1832 beds from five semi‐enclosed coastal systems (SECSs) ranging from 23°N to 34°N along ...

Texas coastal zone biotopes : an ecography : interim report for the Bay and Estuary Management Program (CRMP) [PDF]
, 1972 November 1972Because esthetics, biological environment and physiography are so interrelated and have changeable meanings in various environments, we are obligated to think of the environment in terms of biological change, as environmental protection is ...
