Research topics from publications: Tracing the incorporation of carbon into benthic foraminiferal calcite following the Deepwater Horizon event; Non-lethal approach identifies variability of δ 15 N values in the fin rays of Atlantic Goliath Grouper, Epinephelus itajara; The Utility of Stable and Radioisotopes in Fish Tissues as Biogeochemical Tracers of Marine Oil Spill Food Web Effects; Trophic ontogeny of a generalist predator is conserved across space; Non-lethal approach identifies variability of δ15N values in the fin rays of Atlantic Goliath Grouper, Epinephelus itajara. Representative work: The Atlantic Goliath Grouper, Epinephelus itajara, is critically endangered throughout its range but has begun to show initial signs of recovery in Florida state waters. As the population continues to rebound, researchers face a pressing need to fill the knowledge gaps about this iconic species. Here, we examined the δ (15)N isotopic records in fin rays collected from Atlantic Goliath Grouper, and related changes of isotopic ratios over time to life history characteristics. Fin-ray analysis was used as a non-lethal technique to sample individuals from two locations at similar latitudes from the west and east coasts of Florida, USA. δ (15)N data were acquired by mechanically separating the an The Atlantic Goliath Grouper, Epinephelus itajara , is critically-endangered throughout its range but has begun to show initial signs of recovery in Florida state waters.
