Benthic macrofaunal carbon fluxes and environmental drivers of spatial variability in a large coastal-plain estuary Open
While the importance of carbon cycling in estuaries is increasingly recognized, the role of benthic macrofauna remains poorly quantified due to limited spatial and temporal resolution in biomass measurements. Here, we ask: (1) To what exte…

Observations on the population distribution and ecology of Branchiostoma (Cephalochordata) lancelets from the Virginia inner continental shelf region, United States Open
Lancelets are important model organisms in the study of chordate evolutionary development and are found in abundance in many marine and estuarine environments. The distribution and ecology of Branchiostoma in and around the Chesapeake Bay …
Environmental drivers of spatial variability in benthic macrofauna biomass and associated carbon fluxes in a large coastal-plain estuary Open
Extensive datasets document the distribution and composition of benthic macrofauna in some estuaries, yet their impact on carbon cycling remains poorly quantified. To address this, we investigated (1) how water chemistry and sediment compo…
Controls on Oxygen Variability and Depletion in the Patuxent River Estuary Open
Oxygen depletion in coastal waters is increasing globally due primarily to eutrophication and warming. Hypoxia responses to nutrient loading and climate change have been extensively studied in large systems like the Chesapeake Bay and the …
Ecological niche use varies with sea turtle reproductive age Open
Understanding an organism’s niche and ecological role in its ecosystem is critical for conservation, especially for species that use multiple habitats at different life stages. The hawksbill sea turtle ( Eretmochelys imbricata ) is one suc…
Female Pacific walruses (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) show greater partitioning of sea ice organic carbon than males: Evidence from ice algae trophic markers Open
The expected reduction of ice algae with declining sea ice may prove to be detrimental to the Pacific Arctic ecosystem. Benthic organisms that rely on sea ice organic carbon (iPOC) sustain benthic predators such as the Pacific walrus ( Odo…
Recovery and status of shortnose sturgeon in the Hudson River Open
Shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum), an endangered species, has experienced a several-fold increase in abundance in the Hudson River in recent decades. This population growth followed a substantial improvement in water quality duri…

Alkalinity in Tidal Tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay Open
Despite the important role of alkalinity in estuarine carbon cycling, the seasonal and decadal variability of alkalinity, particularly within multiple tidal tributaries of the same estuary, is poorly understood. Here we analyze more than 2…

Catchment land use predicts benthic vegetation in small estuaries Open
Many estuaries are becoming increasingly eutrophic from human activities within their catchments. Nutrient loads often are used to assess risk of eutrophication to estuaries, but such data are expensive and time consuming to obtain. We com…
Nitrogen loads influence trophic organization of estuarine fish assemblages Open
Summary Nutrient (N and P) loading may affect functioning in aquatic ecosystems by restructuring producer assemblages with flow‐on effects to consumers. Trophic niche occupancy and trophic organization of consumers are key components of ec…
