Comparative Population Genomics And Biophysical Modeling Of Shrimp Migration In The Gulf Of Mexico Reveals Current-Mediated Connectivity, Laura Timm, Lys M. Isma, Matthew Johnston, Heather D. Bracken-Grissom

Biology Faculty Articles

The Gulf of Mexico experiences frequent perturbations, both natural and anthropogenic. To better understand the impacts of these events, we must inventory natural variability within the ecosystem, communities, species, and populations, and contextualize these findings in relation to physical features. Here, we present an integrated study of comparative population genomics and biophysical oceanography. Targeting three species of mesopelagic shrimp common to the Gulf of Mexico midwater (Acanthephyra purpurea, Systellaspis debilis, and Robustosergia robusta), we analyzed genetic diversity and population connectivity as proxies for species health and resilience, respectively. We also simulated a range of vertical migratory behaviors …
