et743: chemical analysis of the sea squirt ecteinascidia turbinata ecosystem.	the sea squirt ecteinascidia turbinata produces the powerful drug et743. in this study inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (icp-aes) and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry (maldi-ms) are systematically used to measure elemental and molecular species in a florida keys mangrove ecosystem that contains the sea squirt. icp-aes is used to measure the concentration of 27 elements down to the parts per billion level in 16 organisms and 3 sediment samples t ...	2006	16644544
philometrid nematodes infecting fishes from the everglades national park, florida, u.s.a.	the following three species of the philometridae (nematoda: dracunculoidea) are described from marine perciform fishes of the everglades national park (northern gulf of mexico), florida, u.s.a.: philometra brevispicula sp. n. (male and females) from the subcutaneous tissue of mouth of the gray snapper lutjanus griseus (linnaeus) (lutjanidae), philometroides grandipapillatus sp. n. (only females) from pectoral fin muscle of the crevalle jack caranx hippos (linnaeus) (carangidae), and caranginema ...	2010	20941913
three new gonad-infecting species of philometra (nematoda: philometridae) parasitic in lutjanus spp. (lutjanidae) in the northern gulf of mexico off florida, usa.	based on light and scanning electron microscopical studies, three new gonad-infecting species of philometra costa, 1845 (nematoda: philometridae) are described from marine fishes of the genus lutjanus bloch (perciformes: lutjanidae) in the northern gulf of mexico: p. longispicula sp. n. from the ovary of the northern red snapper l. campechanus (poey) (type host) and silk snapper l. vivanus (cuvier); p. latispicula sp. n. from the ovary and rarely testes of the grey snapper l. griseus (linnaeus); ...	2014	25185406
statistical power to detect change in a mangrove shoreline fish community adjacent to a nuclear power plant.	an expansion is underway of a nuclear power plant on the shoreline of biscayne bay, florida, usa. while the precise effects of its construction and operation are unknown, impacts on surrounding marine habitats and biota are considered by experts to be likely. the objective of the present study was to determine the adequacy of an ongoing monitoring survey of fish communities associated with mangrove habitats directly adjacent to the power plant to detect fish community changes, should they occur, ...	2016	26903208
