Sexual Dimorphism in Fin Size and Shape in Bluefin Killifish

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study shows very high levels of sexual dimorphism in dorsal and anal fin traits compared to other fins. Dorsal and anal fin traits are also correlated, such that individuals with large dorsal fins also have large anal fins. Together, this suggests strong sexual selection on these functionally integrated traits.

Sex ratio dynamic of the field population of the sugarcane rust mite Abacarus sacchari (Acari: Eriophyidae)

Plant Protection Science
Sugarcane in southern Florida suffers from sugarcane rust mite (SRM) infestations, Abacarus sacchari, from summer to early fall. The mite's sex ratio is important in understanding the mite's demography and population dynamics. This is the first report on

A procedure for developing an acceptance test for airborne bathymetric lidar data application to NOAA charts in shallow waters [PDF]

, 2013
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) hydrographic data is typically acquired using sonar systems, with a small percent acquired via airborne lidar bathymetry for near‐shore areas.

Development of a Duplex Digital PCR and Validation on eDNA Water Samples for Monitoring of the Asian Swamp Eel (Monopterus albus/Javanensis) and Bullseye Snakehead (Channa aurolineata/Marulius) in Florida, USA, Freshwater Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Asian swamp eel and bullseye snakehead are two invasive organisms in Florida of ecological concern. In this study, a multiplex digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) assay is developed, optimized, and validated on water samples for environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis and monitoring. ABSTRACT Invasive species are a significant threat to a variety of

Newly established bermudagrass response to topramezone and photosystem II-inhibitor herbicides

Weed Technology
Bermudagrass is the most troublesome and difficult-to-control perennial grass weed in Florida sugarcane. Once established, it may be effectively controlled only during the sugarcane fallow period using a combination of nonselective herbicides and tillage.

Enzymatic strategies for phosphorus utilization in periphyton: A study of alkaline phosphatase kinetics in post‐mining lakes

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 162-177, February 2026.
Abstract Alkaline phosphatase (AP) plays an important role in phosphorus (P) cycling in aquatic ecosystems, particularly under nutrient limitation. In post‐mining lakes of Czechia, periphyton forms extensive mats despite chronic P deficiency, suggesting dissolved organic P (DOP) may serve as a key P source.

Tar Spot on Maize: Impact of Soil Types and Environmental Conditions on the Survival of Phyllachora maydis in the Subtropical Climate of Florida

Journal of Fungi
Tar spot, caused by Phyllachora maydis, is an established maize disease in the Midwest of the United States but remains an emerging concern in Florida. While this pathogen can overwinter on plant residue, its survival in Florida’s subtropical environment
