A natural history story built around the coral-vermetid system.
NOTE: This is a simulcast event from University of Georgia's Skidaway Institute of Oceanography in Savannah, GA ABSTRACT: A new profiling platform, the Coastal Bottom Drifter, was designed and built to observe near bottom environments in coastal regions. It is capable of drifting near the bottom with a prescribed clearance or at a constant depth and observe properties at up to 300 m of depth. The platform can be deployed for days or up to…
Detailed information on vegetation phenology in salt marshes is useful for understanding patterns in plant production and carbon sequestration. I used high-frequency PhenoCam imagery to characterize the phenophases of Spartina alterniflora, the dominant macrophyte in eastern U.S. salt marshes. These observations showed differences of > 1 month in the timing of spring green-up in plants located only meters apart. I found that green-up could be…
Elasmobranchs typically occupy higher trophic levels in food webs and, consequently, have a propensity to accumulate high organochlorine contaminant (OC) concentrations. However, not all sharks accumulate the same types of contaminants or at the same rate, making use of OCs a potential ecological tool.  Bioaccumulation with respect to ontogeny was examined among three species of pelagic sharks (Shortfin Mako Isurus oxyrhincus, Common…
