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."

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

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.
