The Ecological Ramifications of Disease and Density in the Caribbean Spiny Lobster, <i>Panulirus argus</i>
… infects juvenile Caribbean spiny lobster, <em>Panulirus argus</em>, in the waters off south Florida (USA), and it alters the behavior and ecology of this species in fundamental ways. Gross signs of HLV-PA infection are lethargy, morbidity, cessation of molting, and discolored, “milky” hemolymph …

Spatially-Explicit Agent-Based Modeling of Ecosystem Change and Epizootiological Impacts on Caribbean Spiny Lobster, <i>Panulirus argus</i>
… disease dynamics appropriate to <em>Panulirus argus</em> Virus 1, including disease states, contact transmission, and two density-independent transmission mechanisms, to explore the effects of changes in host sociality on disease dynamics. I showed that when susceptible hosts avoid …

Ecology of the Early Life History of the Caribbean Spiny Lobster, <i>Panulirus argus:</i> Recruitment, Predation, and Habitat Requirements
<p>Recruitment variability of the early life history stages of marine benthic organisms can have profound consequences on population dynamics. I studied factors affecting recruitment success of postlarvae and early juveniles of the Caribbean spiny lobster. I examined patterns in postlarval supply, …
