Altered Susceptibility to Trematode Infection in Native Versus Introduced Populations of the European Green Crab
Blakeslee, April; Ruocchio, Matt; Moore, Chris S. (2020-01-01) -
Are All Parasitic Infections Created Equal? An Examination of Differential Infection Effects and Responses in Native and Non-Native Hosts
Barnard, Rebecca B (East Carolina University, 2018-12-10)Interactions between native and introduced species are complex, multifaceted, and can have cascading effects throughout an ecosystem. While scientists have taken great strides to understand how these dynamics change with ... -
A Baitbox for all Seasons: Temporal Shifts in a Vector's Propagule Supply Characteristics and Implications for Invasion Ecology

BEHAVIORAL STUDY OF GOBIOSOMA BOSC IN RESPONSE TO VISUAL IMPLANT ELASTOMER (VIE) TAGGING
Winkler, Corey Allen (East Carolina University, 2019-05-02)The naked goby (Gobiosoma bosc) is a small benthic fish that inhabits western Atlantic estuaries, where it ranges from Massachusetts to Mexico. Previous work has found limited gene flow between and among populations of G. ... -
Biological Interactions between Hosts, Parasites, and Mercury
Lukas, Laura C (East Carolina University, 2021-07-14)Coastal communities, including regions along the North Carolina coast, have seen impacts of sea level rise. These impacts include wetland salinization, loss of nursery habitat, and decreased protection from major storm ... -
Circular Single-Stranded DNA Virus ( Microviridae: Gokushovirinae: Jodiemicrovirus) Associated with the Pathobiome of the Flat-Back Mud Crab, Eurypanopeus depressus

Circular Single-Stranded DNA Virus (Microviridae: Gokushovirinae: Jodiemicrovirus) Associated with the Pathobiome of the Flat-Back Mud Crab, Eurypanopeus depressus
Bojko, Jamie; McCoy, Krista A.; Behringer, Donald C.; Blakeslee, April (2019-11-21)A single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) virus is presented from a metagenomic data set derived from Alphaproteobacteria-infected hepatopancreatic tissues of the crab Eurypanopeus depressus. The circular virus genome (4,768 bp) encodes ... -
CRABS & ‘CROBES: THE TRIPARTITE RELATIONSHIP OF A HOST, PARASITE, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE MICROBIOMES
Swanson, Kyle L. (East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)Growing evidence suggests that the associated microbiome of organisms (the holobiont) has been shaping the evolutionary pathways of macroorganisms for thousands of years, and that these tiny symbionts can influence species ... -
Distribution and population structure in the naked goby Gobiosoma bosc (Perciformes: Gobiidae) along a salinity gradient in two western Atlantic estuaries Citation metadata
Moore, Christopher S.; Ruocchio, Matthew J.; Blakeslee, April (2018-08-07)Many species of fish produce larvae that undergo a prolonged dispersal phase. However, evidence from a number of recent studies on demersal fishes suggests that the dispersal of propagules may not be strongly correlated ... -
An evolutionary perspective on marine invasions
Blakeslee, April; Manousaki, Tereza; Vasileiadou, Katerina; Tepolt, Carolyn K. (2019-12-10)Species distributions are rapidly changing as human globalization increasingly moves organisms to novel environments. In marine systems, species introductions are the result of a number of anthropogenic mechanisms, notably ... -
Founder effects and species introductions: A host versus parasite perspective
Blakeslee, April; Haram, Linsey E.; Altman, Irit; Kennedy, Kristin; Ruiz, Gregory M.; Miller, A. Whitman (2019-08-07)Species colonizations (both natural and anthropogenic) can be associated with genetic founder effects, where founding populations demonstrate significant genetic bottlenecks compared to native populations. Yet, many ... -
Invasion History Shapes Host Transcriptomic Response to a Body-Snatching Parasite
Blakeslee, April; Tobias, Zachary J. C.; Fowler, Amy E.; Darling, John A.; Torchin, Mark E.; Miller, A. Whitman; Ruiz, Gregory M.; Tepolt, Carolyn K. (2021) -

Recent introductions reveal differential susceptibility to parasitism across an evolutionary mosaic
Tepolt, Carolyn K.; Darling, John A.; Blakeslee, April; Fowler, Amy E.; Torchin, Mark E.; Miller, A. Whitman; Ruiz, Gregory M. (2019-08-14)Parasitism can represent a potent agent of selection, and introduced parasites have the potential to substantially alter their new hosts' ecology and evolution. While sig‐ nificant impacts have been reported for parasites ... -

Temporal dynamics of genetic clines of invasive European green crab (Carcinus maenas) in eastern North America
Lehnert, Sarah J.; DiBacco, Claudio; Jeffery, Nicholas W.; Blakeslee, April; Isaksson, Jonatan; Roman, Joe; Wringe, Brendan F.; Stanley, Ryan R. E.; Matheson, Kyle; McKenzie, Cynthia H.; Hamilton, Lorraine C.; Bradbury, Ian R. (2018-06-08)Two genetically distinct lineages of European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) were in- dependently introduced to eastern North America, the first in the early 19th century and the second in the late 20th century. These ... -
