Dr. Melissa May is an invertebrate ecologist and physiologist, who specializes in understanding how marine bivalves respond to environmental stressors. Since joining FGCU in Fall 2020, she has developed a long-term oyster monitoring program in Estero Bay, FL, and is currently working on hard clam and seagrass co-restoration efforts in Charlotte Harbor and Estero Bay, FL. Her talk will highlight some recent work conducted by her laboratory on the behavioral responses of the hard clam, Mercenaria mercenaria, to various environmental parameters, including temperature, salinity, food availability, and turbidity.
