Reproductive Biology of the Bonnethead (Sphyrna tiburo) from the Southeastern U.S. Atlantic Coast
… (Sphyrna tiburo) are a component of the small coastal shark (SCS) fishery complex, and are caught regularly in both types of fisheries. Despite being well studied in the Gulf of Mexico, little is known about bonnetheads from the U.S. Atlantic coast. The goal of the first component of this study …

Assessing the Effects of Sea-Level Rise on Piping Plover (Charadrius Melodus) Nesting Habitat, and the Ecology of a Key Mammalian Shorebird Predator, on Assateague Island
… that nests on barrier islands along the U.S. Atlantic Coast and is highly vulnerable to habitat change and predation. We have addressed these two threats by 1) developing and implementing a linked model system that predicts future change to piping plover habitat resulting from sea-level rise …

Factors limiting piping plover nesting pair density and reproductive output on Long Island, New York
… renourishment is a common practice on the U.S. Atlantic Coast for the protection of human property from storms, but it also prevents normal MOSH formation. We examined factors limiting piping plover nesting pair density and reproductive output on Atlantic Barrier Islands, 2001-2004, including …

Red fox ecology and interactions with piping plovers on Fire Island, New York
… plover (Charadrius melodus) along the U.S. Atlantic coast. However, little is known about coastal red fox ecology, making it difficult to create effective red fox management strategies in these settings. Here, we quantify aspects of red fox population, spatial, and dietary ecology and …

Advancing Fisheries and Aquaculture Management with Machine Learning: Bycatch Risk Prediction and Autonomous Mortality Modeling
Machine learning is proving to play an increasingly important role in many fields, including ecology and fisheries sciences. Machine learning models offer many advantages over traditional statistical analysis methods, such as being well suited for analyzing large data sets, capable of incorporating …
