Subjects
Sewage -- Environmental aspects -- Research, Sewage as fertilizer -- Environmental aspects -- Research, Organic fertilizers -- Environmental aspects -- Research, Tidal marsh ecology -- Research -- Environmental aspects, Biological sciences, Research, Environmental aspects
Abstract

Nutrient loading of coastal aquatic ecosystems is becoming a globally important issue. Elevated nitrogen, such as near sewage discharge pipes, has been found to be responsible for algal blooms in [...]

2. Tidal river riffle habitats support high diversity and abundance of Gammaridean amphipods

Author

Chiaravalle, Katina, Hughes, Jeff, Javonillo, Robert, and Deegan, Linda

Subjects
Estuarine ecology -- Massachusetts -- Environmental aspects, Marine fauna -- Environmental aspects, Amphipoda -- Environmental aspects, Biological sciences, Environmental aspects
Abstract

Gammaridean amphipods have an important role in estuarine food webs by serving as a trophic link from primary producers to higher-order consumers. Relatively little is known of their abundance, diversity, [...]

3. Influence of Marsh Flooding on the Abundance and Growth of Fundulus heteroclitus in Salt Marsh Creeks

Author

Komarow, Sharon, Young, Talia, Deegan, Linda, and Garritt, Robert

Subjects
Marsh ecology -- Evaluation -- Research, Marine biology -- Research, Crustacea -- Demographic aspects -- Research, Floodplain ecology -- Evaluation -- Research, Biological sciences, Evaluation, Research, Demographic aspects
Abstract

Like many other estuarine fish and crustaceans, Fundulus heteroclitus (mummichog) regularly makes use of the marsh as a foraging area, nursery habitat, and refuge from predators. Mummichogs are known to [...]

5. Population size and site fidelity of Fundulus heteroclitus in a macrotidal saltmarsh creek

Author

Sweeney, Jennifer, Deegan, Linda, and Garritt, Robert

Subjects
Fish populations -- Research, Tidal marsh ecology -- Research, Biological sciences, Research
Abstract

Fundulus heteroclitus (mummichog) is the numerically dominant fish species found in salt marshes from Florida to Nova Scotia. These areas exhibit a wide range of fluctuation in environmental conditions such [...]

6. Effect of eelgrass (Zostera marina) density on the feeding efficiency of mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus)

Author

Graham, Suzanne, Davis, Jessica, Deegan, Linda, Cebrian, Just, Hughes, Jeff, and Hauxwell, Jennifer

Subjects
Fishes -- Food and nutrition -- Research, Estuarine ecology -- Research, Biological sciences, Research, Food and nutrition
Abstract

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds are important coastal nursery habitats for a variety of fishes. Eelgrass beds also provide food for many fish species by supporting an abundant and diverse benthic [...]

12. The importance of access to salt-marsh surface to short-term growth of Fundulus heteroclitus in a...

Author

Javonillo, Robert and Deegan, Linda

Subjects
*MUMMICHOG
Abstract

Presents a study which tested the hypotheses that access to the marsh surface during marsh flooding enhances the growth of Fundulus heteroclitus, and that the growth stimulus is greater in the more-frequently-flooded low marsh. How the hypotheses were tested; Area used to test the hypothesis; Results obtained.

13. Effect of changing plant morphology on invertebrate susceptibility to predation in eelgrass beds.

Author

Preisser, Matthew C. and Deegan, Linda A.

Subjects
*ZOSTERA marina, *INVERTEBRATES
Abstract

Reports on the effect of long-term coastal eutrophication on macroalgae and eelgrass. Changes in plant species to affect predation on the invertebrate community by altering habitat morphology; Analysis of predation rates on two invertebrate species exhibiting different predation avoidance strategies; Invertebrates' dependence on macrophyte structure.
