Zemaitis K, Rainwater T, Moore Y, Andrews K, Parrott B, Byers J
Environ Toxicol Chem . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40053707
Contaminant body burdens are determined by complex interactions between contaminant inputs into the environment, local ecological dynamics, and organismal ontogeny. Although a naturally occurring element, mercury (Hg) is a potent...

Morton J, Hensel M, DeLaMater D, Angelini C, Atkins R, Prince K, et al.
Ecology . 2024 Oct; 105(12):e4452. PMID: 39468868
Predators regulate communities through top-down control in many ecosystems. Because most studies of top-down control last less than a year and focus on only a subset of the community, they...

Byers J, Pringle J
Ecol Lett . 2024 Oct; 27(9):e14520. PMID: 39354906
For marine species with planktonic dispersal, invasion of open ocean coastlines is impaired by the physical adversity of ocean currents moving larvae downstream and offshore. The extent species are affected...

Ziegler S, Atencio W, Carroll J, Byers J
Oecologia . 2024 Jun; 205(2):423-435. PMID: 38898336
Spatial variation in parasitic infection may have many physical and biological drivers. Uncovering these drivers may be especially important for parasites of ecosystem engineers because the engineers are foundational to...

Coleman D, Gittman R, Landry C, Byers J, Alexander C, Coughlin G, et al.
Conserv Biol . 2024 May; 39(1):e14301. PMID: 38801276
People often modify the shoreline to mitigate erosion and protect property from storm impacts. The 2 main approaches to modification are gray infrastructure (e.g., bulkheads and seawalls) and natural or...

Beauvais J, Markley S, Byers J
Sci Rep . 2024 Apr; 14(1):9114. PMID: 38643228
Homeowners in coastal environments often augment their access to estuarine ecosystems by building private docks on their personal property. Despite the commonality of docks, particularly in the Southeastern United States,...

Meira A, Byers J, Sousa R
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc . 2024 Jan; 99(3):1015-1057. PMID: 38294132
Predation is a dominant structuring force in ecological communities. In aquatic environments, predation on bivalves has long been an important focal interaction for ecological study because bivalves have central roles...

Resetarits E, Ellis W, Byers J
Ecol Evol . 2023 Apr; 13(4):e9973. PMID: 37066062
Although parasites can kill their hosts, they also commonly cause nonlethal effects on their hosts, such as altered behaviors or feeding rates. Both the lethal and nonlethal effects of parasites...

Beauvais J, Nibbelink N, Byers J
Ecol Appl . 2022 Oct; 33(5):e2770. PMID: 36271664
Despite the ubiquity of coastal infrastructure, it is unclear what factors drive its placement, particularly for water access infrastructure (WAI) that facilitates entry to coastal ecosystems such as docks, piers,...

Suedel B, Calabria J, Bilskie M, Byers J, Broich K, McKay S, et al.
J Environ Manage . 2022 Sep; 323:116138. PMID: 36113289
Global environmental factors (e.g., extreme weather, climate action failure, natural disasters, human environmental damage) increasingly threaten coastal communities. Shorelines are often hardened (seawalls, bulkheads) to prevent flooding and erosion and...
