journal imagesUMCES researchers are recognized worldwide for their contribution to expanding our understanding of coastal, marine and terrestrial ecosystems. That contribution is most evident in the number and quality of peer-reviewed journal articles published each year.

The UMCES in the Publications database is a searchable listing of our contributions to the scientific community.

You may search by author, subject, year, etc.



Relationship between environmental conditions and zooplankton community structure during summer hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico
Journal Of Plankton Research
2012

The environmental conditions and mesozooplankton community were monitored during summer cruises in 2003, 2004 and 20062008 in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Dynamics of wind-driven circulation in a shallow lagoon with strong horizontal density gradient
Journal Of Geophysical Research-Oceans

The development of private rural lands can significantly fragment landscapes, with potentially negative consequences on ecosystem services.

Identifying gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) foraging grounds along the Chukotka Peninsula, Russia, using satellite telemetry
Polar Biology

The purpose of this study was to evaluate summer and fall residency and habitat selection by gray whales, Eschrichtius robustus, together with the biomass of benthic amphipod prey on the coastal feedi

On the dispersal of leatherback turtle hatchlings from Mesoamerican nesting beaches
Proceedings Of The Royal Society B-Biological Sciences
2012

So little is known about the early life history of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) from hatchling to adulthood that this period has been termed the 'lost years'.

Enhancement of coccolithophorid blooms in the Bering Sea by recent environmental changes
Global Biogeochemical Cycles

Rainbow trout performance in food-limited environments: implications for future assessment and management
Journal Of Freshwater Ecology
2012

We evaluated the performance of rainbow trout in food-limited lake and hatchery environments using whole-body water content as a proxy for fish energy reserves and lipid content.

Elevated summer temperatures delay spawning and reduce redd construction for resident brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)
Global Change Biology
2012

Redd (nest) surveys for resident brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) were conducted annually in a mountain lake in northern New York for 11years with multiple surveys conducted during the spawning sea
