“We know now through this study that alligators are more than just fierce predators,” says @basecology@VIMS_News. “They’re ecosystem engineers.”

🐊More than just fierce predators? New research reveals that alligators build ponds that serve as safe havens for species amidst seasonal water level changes. By digging, alligators alter nutrient dynamics, changing the structure of food webs.@basecology.

A new study led by Bradley Strickland @basecology (@FIU alum + now @vims_news researcher) shows alligators are more important to wetlands than previously understood. The study is the first to show they act as engineers and create healthier wetland soil.

It's still #SharkWeek2020 & another chance to shine a light on the research & conservation efforts going on in South Florida. Today, it's another story by @AngieNBC6 - this time on the link between bull sharks & approaching hurricanes by @basecology of @peclabfiu of @FIUCASE
Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way! I loved my time at @FIUCASE, in the @heithauslab, and being mentored by @MikeHeithaus. I couldn’t be more proud to be part of the @fcelter team.
Congratulations to Dr. Strickland for a successful dissertation defense focusing on his work with alligators in the FL Everglades: “Beyond predation: How do consumers impact bottom-up processes in ecosystems?" We are so proud of you! @basecology#fiu#phd#ecology 🐊
Thrilled to announce our new paper on habitat use of juvenile bull sharks in Texas Estuaries is now out in Marine and Freshwater Research! Have a look! https://t.co/h9eyNemCEb @TexasSharks_JD@basecology@CSIROPublishing
Our Research Framework to Integrate Cross-Ecosystem Responses to Tropical Cyclones is out in @BioScienceAIBS. Thanks to the many collaborators that were instrumental in this work @StarrlabUA1 @JohnKominoski @FIUEnvironment & many others https://t.co/KVIQay9PAV
This map shows the movements of a single tuna over 600 days. On this #WorldTunaDay let this serve as a reminder that even the largest marine protected areas are not large enough to protect them. #notjustarea
GSPA recipient Bradley Strickland (@basecology) is a Ph.D. candidate at @FIU@FIUCASE, researching how alligators engineer and create habitats for other organisms. He is an @evergfoundation fellow. #GSPA2020 https://t.co/UCVJMHLmrW
Ever wondered what #alligators do during #hurricanes? Well, they certainly don’t hunt people down as the movie Crawl would have you believe. But, they may relocate to take advantage of changing prey after a storm. Learn more: https://t.co/R1iiOkorTn
