Description: Niche partitioning mechanisms may be used by
closely related, sympatric species to reduce competition.
We examine two dimensions of niche partitioning
(diet and temporal) amongst the common
octopus (Octopus vulgaris) and the Atlantic longarm
octopus (Macrotritopus defilippi), which spatially
overlap in a South Florida intracoastal habitat. SCUBA
is used to collect octopus prey remains and… more

Description: To fully understand the function of the elasmobranch
electrosensory system it is necessary to examine
electrosensory nerves extending from the ampullae
of Lorenzini to the central nervous system. Studies
detailing the composition of sensory axons are rare,

Description: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are a unique
class of materials in which metal clusters are linked
together by organic moieties forming porous 1-D, 2-D,
and 3-D structures. MOFs have many applications
resulting from not only the overall structure, but also
the metal center, organic “linker”, or a combination
thereof. The high surface areas and porosity of these
materials have found use in… more
