The SHELF crew had an egg-sail-ent sunrise this morning as they continued to collect fish eggs on the West Florida Shelf to help us better understand spawning dynamics in the Gulf of Mexico! #GOM_SHELF @FIOTweet @virome_girl @USFCMS @USFResearch
First official CUFES collection underway as the team begins to "mow the lawn" across the West Florida Shelf to bring back fish eggs that @virome_girl will DNA barcode! #GOM_SHELF
The Weatherbird II headed offshore this morning for a 12-day cruise to collect fish eggs across the broad West Florida Shelf using a Continuous Fish Egg Sampler (CUFES). #GOM_SHELF @FIOTweet @virome_girl @USFCMS @USFResearch
Really looking forward to what @OliviaBlondheim's dissertation reveals about water filtration services oysters provide!
#USF PhD student @OliviaBlondheim combines her #oyster research and passion for #citizenscience with the hope of improving #waterquality in #TampaBay.
Read more on how she uses citizen science to engage the community in local research. bit.ly/3JQyEc9
Very impressive body of work!
Latest paper from Spawning Habitat & Early-Life Linkages to Fisheries (SHELF) used DNA barcoding & PO models to estimate fish egg transport. Eggs spawned on the inner & middle West Florida Shelf tended to be retained and eggs from the outer shelf exported doi.org/10.1111/fog.12655

Really cool stuff! Great job!
🚨New paper! We used trophic niche metrics to compare stable isotope data from two seagrass die-offs in Florida Bay to see if and how the food web may have changed between time points. (Spoiler alert: it did!) bit.ly/3xUUrJt @jnelsonPhD @FosterEmelie @wryanjames

1950s Ecologist: That’s preposterous; fish don’t have personalities!!

So cool!! #grouper
This is such an excellent thread. It largely reflects the Sunday meeting approach suggested by @NCFDD. I wish I adopted these practices in grad school!

I think @jslesser7 is being overly humble to credit #openaccess. This is a very nice paper!
Looks like that extra $$ was worth it after all!! Thanks to my co-authors @jnelsonPhD, @FishEcologyLab, @wryanjames, and Rachel Wilson. And all of you for checking it out! @Oikos_Journal
PhD student Jon Peake @UMmbio444 has extended the classic work on the dynamics of forage fishes in shelf ecosystems to those in highly productive estuaries @pewtrusts @MyFWC @TheIGFA @USFCMS @USFResearch @ESAEcosphere #openaccess bit.ly/3B1hbdC
Nice experiment showed bleaching in Acropora cervicornis was not made worse by microplastics. Special issue on Nono- and Microplastics @PeerJLife peerj.com/articles/13578 #MarineBiology #ClimateChangeBiology #Ecotoxicology @USFCMS @MoteMarineLab @USFResearch
Turns out it is ok for our lab to be called the FISH Ecology Lab despite studies on bivalves, corals, forams, benthos, etc

Huge congrats to Tiffany Boisvert for her excellent MS thesis defense on #coralrestoration in the FL Keys! Her research will be very helpful for guiding future #restoration efforts! @FWC @USFCMS
Always interesting to walk out of the office to see a mega yacht docked that wasn't there when I arrived. This one is 70m. yachtcharterfleet.com/luxury…
It was wonderful to collaborate with @chris_harrod on a chapter in the forthcoming 2nd Edition @AmFisheriesSoc Methods for Fish Biology.
and There is also an upcoming book chapter from @FishEcologyLab and myself which goes into the details of isotopes (+ SCA, FAA, diet DNA etc) including issues of sample size/stats etc. Soon to be published by the @AmFisheriesSoc
