Abstract/Description
Coral reef ecosystems across the Tropical Western Atlantic, are rapidly degrading due to a combination of anthropogenic stressors including coastal development, overfishing, and climate change-induced coral bleaching and disease outbreaks. Despite this general pattern, certain reef ecosystems are less exposed to these stressors due to a lack of/or distance from coastal development and/or their depth. These characteristics protect these coral reef ecosystems from rapid degradation and these...
Show moreCoral reef ecosystems across the Tropical Western Atlantic, are rapidly degrading due to a combination of anthropogenic stressors including coastal development, overfishing, and climate change-induced coral bleaching and disease outbreaks. Despite this general pattern, certain reef ecosystems are less exposed to these stressors due to a lack of/or distance from coastal development and/or their depth. These characteristics protect these coral reef ecosystems from rapid degradation and these coral populations potentially serve as important refugia. Developing an understanding of the connectivity dynamics among these refugia and to more degraded reefs is critical to developing networks of marine protected areas and management to ensure the persistence and recovery of coral metapopulations. In particular, increased research focus has been placed on mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs, 30-150 m) which are deeper and more buffered from anthropogenic stressors than shallow reefs (<30 m). A collection of hypotheses known as the Deep Reef Refugia Hypothesis surmises that MCEs may serve as larval sources to reseed shallow coral populations following a disturbance-driven decline. This dissertation research focuses on quantifying the population genetic structure of a dominant, depthgeneralist, coral species, Montastraea cavernosa, across previously understudied shallow and mesophotic reefs throughout the Gulf of Mexico and Western Caribbean to quantify the refugia potential of these reefs and characterize their roles in the regional coral metapopulation. Chapter 1 provides a review of the ecology and population genetic connectivity dynamics of shallow and mesophotic coral populations in the Tropical Western Atlantic.

Magnetic orientation of loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings
Title
Magnetic orientation of loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings: migratory strategies in the Gulf of Mexico.
Creator
Merrill, Maria W., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Biological Sciences
Abstract/Description
Loggerhead sea turtles nest on either the Atlantic or Gulf coast of Florida. The hatchlings from these nests migrate offshore in opposite directions. The purpose of my study was to determine if Gulf coast hatchlings use magnetic maps, as Atlantic coast hatchlings do, both to locate areas favorable for survival in the Gulf of Mexico and to orient appropriately within surface currents that could transport them into the Atlantic Ocean. To find out, I presented Gulf coast hatchlings with magnetic...
Show moreLoggerhead sea turtles nest on either the Atlantic or Gulf coast of Florida. The hatchlings from these nests migrate offshore in opposite directions. The purpose of my study was to determine if Gulf coast hatchlings use magnetic maps, as Atlantic coast hatchlings do, both to locate areas favorable for survival in the Gulf of Mexico and to orient appropriately within surface currents that could transport them into the Atlantic Ocean. To find out, I presented Gulf coast hatchlings with magnetic fields corresponding to different locations inside the Gulf, and within currents leading into (Florida Straits) and within (Gulf Stream) the western portion of the Atlantic Ocean. I conclude that Gulf coast hatchlings (i) use a high resolution magnetic map for navigation within the Gulf of Mexico, (ii) initially remain within the eastern Gulf, but later may (iii) gain entry into currents that transport them into Atlantic waters.

Abstract/Description
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 prompted an enormous survey effort to assess the under-studied, deep-ocean ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting samples and datasets afforded a unique opportunity to study the ecology of a poorly known group of mesopelagic fishes, the barracudinas (Aulopiformes: Paralepididae). Here we address several important data gaps regarding the ecology of the Paralepididae. Our results indicate that a majority of barracudina species are efficient at...
Show moreThe Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 prompted an enormous survey effort to assess the under-studied, deep-ocean ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting samples and datasets afforded a unique opportunity to study the ecology of a poorly known group of mesopelagic fishes, the barracudinas (Aulopiformes: Paralepididae). Here we address several important data gaps regarding the ecology of the Paralepididae. Our results indicate that a majority of barracudina species are efficient at avoiding research-sized nets, suggesting that their overall abundance has been historically underestimated. Notable differences in vertical distribution, seasonal abundances of sizes classes, and diets were observed among the three major sub-groups of the family, with potential implications to ecosystem-based management of deep-pelagic fisheries. This thesis is dedicated to all the fish, squids, and shrimps that gave their lives to make these data and to those that endured the hardship of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Abstract/Description
The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) contains a variety oceanographic features including; the Loop Current, cyclonic/anticyclonic eddies, common water, and the Mississippi River Plume. The relationship these features have on the community assemblages of Families Lutjanidae and Serranidae has been of great interest from both biological and economic standpoints. These families represent some of the most economically important fisheries in the GoM. Identifying the role these features play in the...
Show moreThe Gulf of Mexico (GoM) contains a variety oceanographic features including; the Loop Current, cyclonic/anticyclonic eddies, common water, and the Mississippi River Plume. The relationship these features have on the community assemblages of Families Lutjanidae and Serranidae has been of great interest from both biological and economic standpoints. These families represent some of the most economically important fisheries in the GoM. Identifying the role these features play in the transportation of larval and juvenile nearshore species to offshore environments is vital to resource managers. Using data collected shortly after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill via the NOAA Natural Resource Damage Assessment in 2011 as well as cruises conducted by the Deep Pelagic Nekton Dynamics of the Gulf of Mexico (DEEPEND) Consortium from 2015-2017, the faunal composition and abundance of these families were analyzed with respect to seasonality, oceanographic features, depth distribution, and time.
