Assessing shortnose sturgeon response to estuarine dredging in the Savannah River using a before-after control-impact (BACI) approachNARA Subscribed
Estuaries are productive ecosystems that support diverse aquatic species and human economies through fisheries, recreation, and navigation. However, coastal development and dredging have altered the ecological processes of estuarine habitats. In the Savannah River estuary, the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP) deepened the river’s navigational channel by dredging to amplify vessel commerce. The endangered shortnose stur...
Larval dispersal models predict reefs that experience crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks receive more larvaeNARA Subscribed
Crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) are a leading cause of coral decline on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), with the majority of their impact occurring during outbreaks. These outbreaks involve rapid increases in populations followed by abrupt declines, and spread between reefs via larval dispersal—a key process in COTS reproduction. Given the difficulty in quantifying dispersal empirically, predictions are instead formed using coup...
Full‐year in situ imaging reveals fine‐scale habitat differences among salp and doliolid life stagesNARA Subscribed
Doliolids and salps are pelagic tunicates that reproduce both asexually and sexually during their life history, occasionally forming massive blooms (> 1000 ind. m −3 ) that can clear large volumes of water daily. Although blooms of doliolids and salps are often associated with pulses of primary productivity, little is understood about their life history dynamics in response to the full range of oceanographic conditions they en...
