Ryan studied the fine-scale behavior of blacktip sharks that overwinter in southeast Florida. He deployed pop-off data loggers on the sharks to record environmental data which he used to determine when sharks are found at various depths and temperatures.

Eloise tested the effects of environmental pollutants on the electrosensory and olfactory capabilities of elasmobranch fishes. She employed behavioral assays and electrophysiological recording techniques.

Laura studied locomotion in batoids. She described the pelvic fin musculature, and quantified how various batoid species use their pelvic fins for a novel form of locomotion - punting. This also entailed morphometric and material properties testing of pelvic skeletal elements. Laura is currently an assistant professor in the Biology Department at Wheaton College.

Sara tested the efficacy of lanthanide elements to deter sharks from biting at baited hooks. She measured the electric field generated by various elements and employed behavioral assays to quantify their effectivenes with different shark species. She is currently the education director at Nature's Academy in Bradenton, FL.

Laura studied the predator-prey interactions of great hammerhead sharks that prey upon blacktips. She used aerial drone footage to quantify predator-prey separation distance, escape velocity, and chasing behavior.

Walker studied how the social behavior of sharks is impacted by their group size. He employed a custom MatLab script to analyze aerial footage of sharks and determine school polarity and nearest neighbor distances.

Anthony studied the ecomorphology of the electrosensory system in sharks. He examined the number, distribution and structure of the electroreceptors in a variety of taxa to determine how the electrosensory system is employed by sharks in different habitats with different foraging behaviors. Anthony is currently teaching at Valencia Community College in Kissimmee.

Dana quantified the head morphology of skates to determine if they exhibit significant sexual dimorphism. She employed geometric morphometrics to describe the shape of the snout through all age classes from embryos to adults. She is currently employed at Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter.

Caitlin studied the puncture mechanics of stingray spines. She examined how the spine morphology impacted the puncture performance from different stingray species.

Kier conducted field trials to determine whether lanthanide elements are effective for deterring sharks from biting at baited hooks. He tested this by quantifying catch rate during long line fishing for coastal sharks. His work resulted in a patent for a novel shark repellent.

Shari conducted an aerial survey of shark abundance in Palm Beach County waters. She counted the number of sharks close to shore from biweekly survey flights to quantify seasonal abundance.
