Ankersen is an attorney and Assistant in Law at the Center for Governmental Responsibility in the University of Florida College of Law where he teaches and conducts research on a wide variety of domestic and international environmental law and policy issues. He directs the Center's Mesoamerican Environmental Law Program, a program of applied research, policy development and training that lends supports to governmental and non-governmental organizations in Central America and Mexico. He recently launched the Center's Conservation Law Initiative, a pilot effort supported by the John D. and Katherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and designed to focus on the development of innovative legal and policy instruments and institutions to promote conservation in the United States and abroad. In Florida, Ankersen has focused his efforts in the area of coastal law and policy, water law, and legal issues associated with protection of biological diversity. He also serves as a faculty advisor to the College of Law's annual Public Interest Environmental Conference. He is an affiliate faculty member at the University of Florida's Center for Latin American Studies. |

Patrick Baker studies the biology and ecology of marine and freshwater invertebrates, concentrating on bivalve mollusks. In the past, he has conducted research on oyster larval and juvenile biology in Chesapeake Bay, including behavioral studies on larvae settling from the plankton to the benthos. In addition, he has studied the ecology of endangered native freshwater mussels in Minnesota.
In Florida, Dr. Baker is interested in the ecology of Gulf and Atlantic coast oyster reefs, and the biology and ecology of ark shells. In addition Dr. Baker is currently conducting research on a small oyster native to the Pacific coast, where recent geological changes and human impacts have resulted in a complex pattern of population invasion and extinction in the past few thousand years. With Dr. Bowen, also in this department, Dr. Baker is conducting molecular genetic research to try to trace the origin and patterns of these oyster populations. |

"The major thrust of my research is to understand how the physiology of plants changes in response to dynamic environmental forces. As a woody plant horticulturist, this comprises not only micro-environment forces, but also artificial forces of pruning, fertilization, high intensity production and transplanting into landscapes. Once a concept is grasped, this knowledge is used to tinker with the "process" to improve growth, efficiency or success of the system. Most of the research focuses on water and a plants’ requirements and responses to sub-optimum levels. This ranges from evaluation of irrigation systems to modeling plant water requirements based on micro-climate and size." |

Dan Canfield is a professor of Limnology and his specialty is applied research that directly relates to the management of aquatic ecosystems. Among his many achievements in this area is the TEAM (Together for Environmental Assessment and Management) approach -- a process for developing effective lake management plans or water resource policy. TEAM brings professional water managers, scientists, government and citizens together with the ultimate objective of developing water management goals and plans that everyone can live with.
Canfield is also the founder of Florida LAKEWATCH, a statewide citizen-volunteer water quality monitoring program now being emulated across the United States and internationally.
He has served as president of the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS) and is a recipient of its prestigious Secchi Disk Award for his many contributions to the management of America's lakes. The Florida Lake Management Society has also honored him with the Ed Deevey Jr. Award in "recognition of contributing to our scientific understanding of Florida's water bodies." |

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 |

Environmental statistics with applications in 1) modeling observational data, especially when the observations are not independent; 2) sampling designs for rare, clustered organisms or events; and 3) modeling animal behavior as it relates to movement and use of space, especially when the movement is constrained in some way such as might occur in fragmented habitats. Recent research areas include habitat suitability studies; spatial modeling of species richness or similar measures of animal abundance; spatially-explicit, demographic modeling of a sessile, benthic species including but natural variability as well as uncertainty characterization; testing spatial positioning of dominant animals with herds; effect of scale of aggregation on conclusions about spatial autocorrelation in species richness in cave systems; and effect of sampling on the bias in estimation of various quantities describing animal movement in confined spaces. |

The research in our laboratory is directed toward genetic engineering of floriculture crops for improved horticultural performance during production and postharvest handling. Our specific interests are in the areas of postharvest physiology, and molecular biology of ethylene biosynthesis and sensitivity in flowers. The main goal of our laboratory is to utilize information gained from molecular and physiological experiments to help solve real-life problems in greenhouse grown floriculture crops – ie. we want to be the link between basic and applied science. In reaching our goals, we hope to determine the commercial viability of genetically engineered floriculture crops by assessing the attributes and limitations of genetically engineered floriculture crops in commercial scale greenhouse experimentt |

Diseases of free-ranging birds and mammals in Florida
Since 1969, I have been engaged in research on the epizootiology of parasites of wildlife in Florida. This has included ecological studies of the prevalence, distribution, and impact of parasitic diseases on populations of mammals (big game, marine mammals, carnivores, and rodents), birds (waterfowl, shorebirds, wading birds, doves, bobwhites, wild turkeys, raptors, and passeriforms), and selected species of reptiles (alligators, snakes, and turtles). Collaborative research has been conducted also on other aspects of wildlife diseases (virology, bacteriology, mycology, and toxicology) with various cooperators, especially at the University of Florida |

The goals for my position are to perform basic and applied studies to determine the control potential of different cultural, biological, and chemical strategies for the management of nematode populations in warmseason turfgrasses, and woody and foliage ornamentals. As strategies with promise for nematode control are elucidated they will be developed and implemented along with recommendations to the various turf and ornamental user groups. The main emphasis is on nematode parasites of turfgrasses and nematode parasites and weevils of ornamentals with minor emphasis on entomogenous nematodes.
Perform basic and applied research concerning cultural, biological, and chemical management of nematode populations in warm-season turfgrasses, and woody and foliage ornamentals. The main emphasis is on nematode parasites of turfgrasses and nematode parasites and weevils of ornamentals with minor emphasis on entomophilic nematodes. Also studies biological control of invasive weeds with nematodes and nematode taxonomy and systematics. |
