Comparative population genomics and biophysical modeling of shrimp migration in the Gulf of Mexico reveals current-mediated connectivity

The Gulf of Mexico experiences frequent perturbations, both natural and anthropogenic. To better understand the impacts of these events, we must inventory natural variability within the ecosystem, communities, species, and populations, and contextualize these findings in relation to physical features….

Convergent adaptation of true crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura) to a gradient of terrestrial environments

For much of terrestrial biodiversity, the evolutionary pathways of adaptation from marine ancestors are poorly understood, and have usually been viewed as a binary trait. True crabs, the decapod crustacean infraorder Brachyura, comprise over 7,600 species representing a striking diversity…

CORAL HOLOBIONT IMMUNE PROCESSES

The coral holobiont is comprised of many different symbiotic partners including the coral host, micro-eukaryotes, prokaryotes, archaea, fungi, and dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae). This complex community involves complex interactions to maintain homeostasis. However, little is understood about these interactions. This research area…
