Open AccessReproductive Phenology of the Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin, 1791), Along a Temperate Estuarine Salinity Gradient
Low salinity can negatively affect reproduction in estuarine bivalves. The spatial and temporal extents of these effects are important to inform models of population dynamics, environmental risk assessments, r...

Open AccessCrossing the chasm: a ‘tube-map’ for agent-based social simulation of policy scenarios in spatially-distributed systems
Agent based models (ABMs) simulate actions and interactions of autonomous agents/groups and their effect on systems as a whole, accounting for learning without assuming perfect rationality or complete knowledg...

Open AccessLarge-scale variation in density of an aquatic ecosystem indicator species
Monitoring indicator species is a pragmatic approach to natural resource assessments, especially when the link between the indicator species and ecosystem state is well justified. However, conducting ecosystem...

Confirmation of a unique and genetically diverse ‘heritage’ strain of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in a remote Adirondack watershed
In fisheries management, understanding anthropogenic impacts on fish population genetic structure is essential because genetic diversity is a fundamental attribute contributing to a species’ evolutionary capac...

Microsatellite primers designed from pyrosequences to compare two subspecies of surf clam, Spisula solidissima
It was recently discovered that two cryptic subspecies of surf clam co-occur in near-shore waters of southern New England, Spisula solidissima solidissima and Spisula solidissima similis. The latter form was prev...

Open AccessTranscriptomic analysis of candidate osmoregulatory genes in the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica
The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is a euryhaline species that can thrive across a wide range of salinities (5-35). As with all estuarine species, individual oysters must be able to regulate their osmoti...

Genetic relationships of the marine invasive crab parasite Loxothylacus panopaei: an analysis of DNA sequence variation, host specificity, and distributional range
Host specificity is a key variable of the niche breath of parasites that can be an important determinant of a parasite’s ability to invade new areas. There is increasing evidence that many parasite species may...

The Emergence of an Endangered Species: Evolution and Phylogeny of the Trachypithecus geei of Bhutan
Golden langurs (Trachypithecus geei) are an endangered primate species in Bhutan. We discuss their evolution in terms of phylogeny, ecology, and biogeography. We test the hypothesis that rivers and mountains in B...

A genetic test for recruitment enhancement in Chesapeake Bay oysters, Crassostrea virginica, after population supplementation with a disease tolerant strain
Many of the methods currently employed to restore Chesapeake Bay populations of the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, assume closed recruitment in certain sub-estuaries despite planktonic larval durations of...
