Synergistic Activities
Richard Heard has authored or co-authored more than160 publications dealing with marine invertebrates and fishes, including the descriptions of a new family, several new genera, and a variety of new species of stomatopods, mysids, cumaceans, tanaidaceans, isopods, amphipods, and decapods, and digenean and epicaridean parasites. Over the past 35 years he has been involved with the identification of invertebrates collected from the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and Atlantic coasts of the southeastern United States in conjunction with several large regional studies conducted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Mineral Management Service (MMS), National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (EMAP for Louisiana and West Indian Provinces). He has published or worked on the invertebrate fauna of Hawaii, Antarctica, Arctic Ocean, Central America, South America, Bermuda, and Caribbean Sea. Dr. Heard and his students have been involved in ecological studies and publications on sand beach, grass bed, and tidal march ecology, as well as, studies on the feeding habits of estuarine and marine fishes. He has also worked and published parasites of crustacea and on the life cycles of platyhelminth parasites, primarily digeneans.

* Served as the thesis research adviser for Ms. McNeff, but was not on her official committee, which could only be held by a University of Alabama faculty member.
** I served as the chairman and research adviser for Mr. Dardeau, Mr. R. Rimes, and Mr. R. Sims, while at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. Upon leaving that institution in 1978, remained as thesis or research adviser, however, R. Beyers,(R. Sims) and R. Ship (M. Dardeau & R. Rimes) assumed the chairmanship of committees.
*** Candidate did not complete degree, changed field of study, or is on leave of absence.
