Thanks to a grant from the National Academies Gulf Research Program, Randall Hughes and Steven Scyphers will embark on a research project to examine range expansion of the black mangrove in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Professor Randall Hughes will serve as the first Associate Dean for Equity in the Northeastern College of Science.

When the COVID-19 pandemic forced My Brother’s Table, the largest soup kitchen on Massachusetts’ North Shore, to change how it serves guests, the community at Northeastern’s Marine Science Center took note, and stepped up.

Part 1: The Marine Science Center is highlighting faculty who are advancing scientific knowledge and removing barriers for the next generation of women in STEM.

Associate Professor of Marine and Environmental Sciences Randall Hughes and her lab have a novel approach for determining how marine life populations will react to climate change.

As restoration projects throughout Massachusetts and the country focus on restoring natural ecosystems, researchers at Northeastern University are looking for ways to better bridge the "practice science gap" between practitioners and biodiversity research in an effort optimize these types of projects.

Randall Hughes, Assistant Professor in the Marine and Environmental Sciences department, has been awarded the prestigious National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Award.

A new study lead by MSC researchers explores how variation among individuals of a marsh consumer species may impact overall community structure and dynamics.

A recent faculty publication examines the unique roles played by two co-occurring foundation species in mangrove forests, revealing that not all foundation species are created equal.

Fish are not silent crea­tures. Just like the ter­res­trial world, there’s a ver­i­table sym­phony of sound echoing under the sea. Indeed, the black drum fish was the sub­ject of many a phone call to the Miami police back in 2005, when their mid­night mating calls were waking up the locals.

Oysters and "The Brady Bunch"? Assistant Professor David Kimbro and colleagues have us covered

Research from North­eastern Uni­ver­sity ecol­o­gist David Kimbro, along with colleagues Jon Grabowski and Randall Hughes, shows that the behavior of middle preda­tors in marine food webs plays an impor­tant role in the wel­fare of the whole system—and that, like our behavior, middle predator behavior is pretty fickle.

Height matters, among other things, according to Assistant Professor Randall Hughes, whose work recently appeared in the Journal of Ecology.
