Publications

A big part of what we do is publish in the peer-reviewed and edited scientific literature. Below are some recent publications by our scientists, affiliates, and volunteers.

PeerJ Publication:

Potential impacts from simulated vessel noise and sonar on commercially important invertebrates

Juvenile and sub-adult blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) and American lobsters (Homarus americanus) were exposed to simulated low-frequency vessel noise and mid-frequency sonar to study the impacts of a noisier ocean on stress and behavioral outcomes, including competition.

Metabolic response to temperature stress in the Colombian freshwater crab Neostrengeria macropa (H. Milne Edwards, 1853) (Decapoda: Brachyura: Pseudothelphusidae)

Freshwater crustaceans from the mountains of Colombia are a useful indicator group for how aquatic species will respond to climate change. Physiological performance was evaluated for the Colombian pseudothelphusid crab, Neostrengeria macropa, over a temperature range predicted by future IPCC scenarios.
