We examine diseased corals across the Caribbean and explore the interactions between coral hosts and their microbial symbionts.

We worked with the Maritime Environmental Resource Center to further the efficient and effective transition of ballast water treatment technologies from concept and prototype to certification and routine operational use.

We’re looking for your help detecting mitten crabs – if you see this crab, please report it.

We are detecting new invasions and tracking changes in communities through invertebrate surveys in marine and estuarine ecosystems and collecting data on the occurrence, distribution, and diversity of non-native species.

To evaluate the long term interactions between host and parasite. The hosts are two species of mud Crab (Rhithropanopeus harrisii and Eurypanopeus depressus), the parasite is Loxothylacus panopaei. 

The National Exotic Marine and Estuarine Species Information System - Records of Marine Introductions in the United States.  

We have been conducting annual surveys of the shallow water nearshore community of the Rhode River since 1991 to study predator-prey dynamics between native grass shrimp species and common fish and crab predators.

We identify parasites that reside in the Rhode River, track yearly changes in diversity and abundance, and determine their impacts on ecosystem function, population dynamics, and trophic interactions.

We aim to understand the impact of parasites and disease on bivalves.

Our research is aimed at understanding how propagule pressure affects the probability of invasion success across species, habitats, ecological communities and environmental conditions.

We study the interaction between seagrass hosts and their parasites, Labyrinthula spp., which cause seagrass wasting disease.
