Frank Chapman's main area of interest is in the reproductive biology and larval development of aquatic organisms, particularly of ornamental (aquarium) fish and ancient fish species such as sturgeon. His laboratory activities focus on the applications of reproductive biology and early development to aquaculture, fishery management, and conservation. Three major areas of his research include: (1) broodstock development - the regulation of gametogenesis and sexual maturation, (2) environmental physiology - physiological adaptations in broodstock and early life stages of fish to their culture environment including nutrition, and (3) experimental culture - identification of biological and physiological parameters critical for culture of aquatic organisms. Chapman conducts educational demonstrations and workshops and provides direct assistance to commercial aquaculture farmers to develop energy-efficient systems for fish production

Beef cattle, dairy cattle and horses are the predominant livestock in Florida and are the focus of this program. Insecticide resistance and control failures are commonplace for many of the fly pests; therefore, innovative systems are needed to assist in their management. However, to successfully manage these pests, studies investigating their biology and ecology are needed.

Dr. Wisely is interested in how human impacts on the landscape alter ecosystem function. Deforestation, urbanization, and climate change alter the connectivity of populations, the composition of communities and the emergence of disease. Invasive species are particularly sensitive to these alterations and in turn serve as catalysts for changes in ecosystem function. Using a combination of field and laboratory techniques, Dr. Wisely seeks to understand the drivers of disease emergence in systems with invasive species.

Research projects include assessment of the fate of phosphorus fertilizer in the subsiding soils of the EAA, management factors influencing vegetable production, and effects of Everglades restoration on soil and water biogeochemical processes. These research efforts will lead to better management of natural resources and improved recommendations for agricultural producers and water managers in the EAA and throughout south Florida.

I am broadly interested in evolution, particularly (though not exclusively) of birds. My research has focused in two main areas. The first area is molecular phylogenetics and population genetics. The second area is behavioral ecology, where I am interested in mating systems, sexual selection and the evolution and proximate control of secondary sexual characters. I am interested in integrating these two areas, by using phylogenetics to understand and examine the evolution of avian behaviors and traits, particularly male secondary sexual traits and by using molecular population genetic data to understand genetic consequences and conservation implications of different mating systems and behaviors.
