Clonality is the general term that encompasses all manner of pinching, splitting, budding, and fragmenting behaviors by which organisms divide their somatic body tissues into more or less independent units. It can be as straight forward...
Natural organic matter (NOM) exists as a highly functionalized, polydisperse and complex mixture of organic compounds derived from decaying plan and animal detritus. NOM has been characterized by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance...
A Comprehensive Assessment of the Effects of Ozone and Uv Radiation on the Molecular Weights and Optical Properties of Natural Water and Wastewater Effluent Dissolved Organic Matter
The work presented concentrations on better understanding the physical and chemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in two distinctly different aquatic environments. More specifically, examining the degradation of DOM before...
Sponges are unique filter feeding organisms with complex canal and flagellated chamber aquiferous systems. These systems allow them to specialize in clearing the smallest plankton size class (picoplankton) from the water. Sponges serve...
Ecosystem engineers can have complex effects on communities through a variety of direct and indirect pathways. Describing these effects is a necessary step in understanding and predicting the effects of engineer species. Red Grouper ...
The Caribbean corals, Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis, are abundant in fossil records but have recently undergone drastic declines primarily as a result of disease. Acropora prolifera, a hybrid of these species, has no fossil record...
This dissertation starts by evaluating the applicability of using a commercially available, cost-effective, sidescan sonar system to detect benthic habitats, in particular hardbottom habitats, in the nearshore northeastern Gulf of Mexico...
Seagrasses meadows are extremely productive ecosystems that serve as habitats for a wide variety of species. These foundation species also perform important ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, stabilizing sediments, and carbon...
