Support for Integrated Ecosystem Assessments of NOAA’s National Estuarine Research Reserves System (NERRS), Volume I: The Impacts of Coastal Development on the Ecology and Human Well-being of Tidal Creek Ecosystems of the US Southeast [PDF]
A study was conducted, in association with the Sapelo Island and North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs), to evaluate the impacts of coastal development on sentinel habitats (e.g., tidal creek ecosystems), including potential impacts ...

The effect of structural complexity, prey density, and "predator-free space" on prey survivorship at created oyster reef mesocosms. [PDF]
Interactions between predators and their prey are influenced by the habitat they occupy. Using created oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reef mesocosms, we conducted a series of laboratory experiments that created structure and manipulated complexity as ...

Experimental confirmation of protandric simultaneous hermaphroditism in a Caridean shrimp outside of the genus Lysmata [PDF]
Caridean shrimps display a variety of sexual systems including gonochorism and various forms of protandry but rarely simultaneous hermaphroditism. Protandric simultaneous hermaphroditism (PSH) has thus far only been demonstrated in the genus Lysmata. The

LARVAL DEVELOPMENT OF PALAEMONETES PUGIO HOLTHUIS ,
1. Palaemonetes pugio Hobthuis and Palaemonetes vulgaris (Say) were reared in the laboratory from eggs through metamorphosis.2. The larvae of these species are very nearly identical except for a pair of chromatophores found on abdominal sternite 2 of P. pugio but lacking from P. vulgaris.

Aquatic food webs in restored marshes: a stable‐isotope approach in the Gironde estuary (SW France)
Intertidal marshes are important habitats for nekton. However, historical draining and dyking hampered European coastal wetlands. Marsh restoration is therefore critical not only to improve their capacity to protect coastal lines but also to rehabilitate their ecological functionalities. The benefits of intertidal marsh restoration for nekton community

Ecological structure and function in a restored versus natural salt marsh. [PDF]
Habitat reconstruction is commonly employed to restore degraded estuarine habitats and lost ecological functions. In this study, we use a combination of stable isotope analyses and macrofauna community analysis to compare the ecological structure and ...

Abstract A 5‐year‐old, captive bred, 327 g female ornate bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis) presented with a history of reduced appetite and cranial coelomic swelling. On physical examination, the swelling was smooth, soft, devoid of masses and consistent with an enlarged stomach. No other abnormalities were detected.
