Value creation in water allocation negotiations : lessons from the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River and Lower Colorado River Basins
… negotiations in the Lower Colorado River and Apalachicola-Flint- River Basins are compared; an agreement was reached in the first case but not the second. My findings support the hypothesis that value creation enables agreement; they also suggest that even when value is created, its allocation …

Genetic Population Structure and Effective Number of Breeders in Systems Across the Range of the Gulf Sturgeon
… groups within the Suwannee, Choctawhatchee, and Apalachicola Rivers. Average annual effective number of breeders estimates were similar in the Pearl River, Apalachicola spring, Choctawhatchee 1, and both Suwannee groups, but lower in the Apalachicola fall. Total effective number of breeders …

Tectonic Setting, Structure, and Seismic Stratigraphy of the Apalachicola Rift and its Overlying Sag Basin in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico
The northeast-trending Apalachicola rift (AR) in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is a ~220-km- long half-graben that contains 5-8 km of undrilled, syn-rift clastic deposits inferred to be of late Triassic-early Jurassic age. Previous workers have interpreted pre-salt (Triassic-early …

Host Fish Assessment and Gravidity for the Mussel Elliptoideus sloatianus
… is a freshwater mussel that m endemic to the Apalachicola River Basin, which includes the Chattahoochee, Flint, Chipola, and Apalachicola Rivers. Populations of E. sloatianus also exist in the Ochlockonee River, which discharges independently from the ACF basin into the Gulf of Mexico. In …

Interspecific Hybridization Among Black Basses (Micropterus spp.) in the Chattahoochee River, Columbus Georgia
… cataractae), a rare endemic species to the Apalachicola drainage, and spotted bass (M. punctulatus), an introduced and more abundant species. Pelvic fin tissue (N = 130) was taken from bass species in the Chattahoochee River between Columbus, Georgia and Phenix City, Alabama and analyzed for …

Development of a Genetic Monitoring Program for Stock Enhancement of Mississippi Spotted Seatrout (<i>Cynoscion nebulosus</i>)
… pattern in the studied range (Apalachicola, FL to Grand Isle, LA) where reproductive isolation is a function of geographic distance between populations. Contemporaneous effective population size estimates were larger in Mississippi and Louisiana than in Florida suggesting that …

A new optimization method for reservoir systems
… basins in the southeast U.S. (including the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF), Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT), and Savannah river basins) demonstrate that the new approach is reliable and efficient. The second Thesis contribution leverages the new method to optimize the reservoir …

Use of environmental variables to infer gene flow and population structure in the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) and predict the seroprevalence of an emerging infectious disease
… to gene flow that appears to coincide with the Apalachicola River. I also discover low genetic diversity and evidence of population bottlenecks in the western portion of the range. My evaluation at the regional scale shows that dispersal is limited by geographic distance, areas of low elevation …

On the use of demographic models to inform amphibian conservation and management: A case study of the reticulated flatwoods salamander
… Georgia, and the Florida panhandle west of the Apalachicola-Flint Rivers, the range of this species has been drastically reduced. It is currently listed as federally endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Population viability analyses (PVAs) represent a key component of many recovery …

Identifying inundation-driven effects among intertidal Crassostrea virginica in a commercially important Gulf of Mexico estuary
… oyster ladders were placed at two sites within Apalachicola Bay, Florida, USA. Ladders supported oyster recruitment mats at five heights within the range of intertidal elevations. The bottom-most mat was placed near mean low tide, and the top mat near mean high tide to investigate the effect of …
