Post-settlement processes and early life history dynamics of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) in the Hudson River estuary
… My dissertation research focuses on the early post settlement period of which little is known in zebra mussel populations, and indeed, in most other benthic invertebrate populations. I investigated early post settlement mortality and estimated the proportion of settling larvae that survived the …

Determining larval settlement, post-settlement and weaning substrates and regimes for the sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla in intensive aquaculture
… due to a bottleneck in production during the settlement and post-settlement phases. In this study, larval settlement, post-settlement growth, and weaning regimes were investigated in the collector urchin, Tripneustes gratilla. Two cohorts of urchins were spawned for two separate growth trials. …

Influences of benthic algae on coral settlement and post-settlement survival: implications for the recovery of disturbed and degraded reefs
… which are often trapped by algal turfs, on settlement of the coral Acropora millepora. Adding sediment reduced settlement but the effects of different algal turfs varied, a newly established (<6 week old) and relatively ungrazed turf reducing settlement, and a well established turf (up to …

Early Recruitment of <i>Crassostrea virginica</i> to Restored and Natural Oyster Reefs in the Western Mississippi Sound: Larval Supply and Post-Settlement Success
… we quantified larval oyster supply and spat settlement at eight sites varying in region (inshore vs offshore) and background substrate (restored limestone, restored relic shell, historically unrestored substrates). Larvae were quantified relative to life cycle stage in addition to region, …

The Effects of Environmental Variability on the Population Structure of the Eastern Oyster (<i>Crassostrea virginica</i>): A Modeling Study
… and mortality of sessile oyster populations. The post-settlement model incorporates mortality through parasitism, predation, food depletion and extremes in environmental conditions. The post-settlement model supplies the initial abundance of larvae spawned into the water column, and in turn is the …
