A Feeding‐Ecology‐Based Approach to Evaluating Nursery Potential of Estuaries for Black Rockfish
Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 124-141, April 2020., 2020 Abstract Previous work suggests that Oregon estuaries function as nursery habitat and may play an important role in settlement of Black Rockfish Sebastes melanops. No research, however, has been conducted on juvenile Black Rockfish feeding ecology in estuarine habitats, which is necessary to evaluate habitat use and quality.

Kelp Forest Zooplankton, Forage Fishes, and Juvenile Salmonids of the Northeast Pacific Nearshore
Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 4-20, February 2020., 2020 Abstract Kelp forests are an important ecological component of temperate coastal systems that are sensitive to anthropogenic disturbance and are in decline in many locations globally. In the northeastern Pacific Ocean off the coast of Washington, USA, bull kelp Nereocystis luetkeana forests are seasonally used by juvenile salmonids and forage fishes ...

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 393-413, December 2019., 2019 Abstract Food habits in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, are poorly described despite the estuary's large size and importance as nursery and fisheries habitat. We conducted the first multi‐year, multispecies food habits study in Pamlico Sound, sampling the stomach contents of 16,913 predators representing 25 species. Predators were sampled from fisheries‐

A localized PCR inhibitor in a porcelain crab suggests a protective role [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 A number of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) inhibitors have been identified from biological and environmental samples. By and large, such substances are treated as random nuisances and contaminants with alternate functions; their inhibitory effects on ...

DNA metabarcoding unveils multiscale trophic variation in a widespread coastal opportunist
Molecular Ecology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 232-249, January 2019., 2019 Abstract A thorough understanding of ecological networks relies on comprehensive information on trophic relationships among species. Since unpicking the diet of many organisms is unattainable using traditional morphology‐based approaches, the application of high‐throughput sequencing methods represents a rapid and powerful way forward.

Behaviorally Mediated Larval Transport in Upwelling Systems
Advances in Oceanography, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Highly advective upwelling systems along the western margins of continents are widely believed to transport larvae far offshore in surface currents resulting in larval wastage, limited recruitment, and increased population connectivity. However, suites of larval behaviors effectively mediate interspecific differences in the extent of cross‐shelf ...
