The ecology of ocean acidification : integrating the effects of pH variation among other environmental stressors on biogeography and organismal performance in rocky intertidal communities

Creator:: Rose, Jeremy M.
Abstract:: Ocean Acidification (OA) has emerged as a major threat to marine ecosystems, particularly regarding calcifying organisms. A growing body of literature describing laboratory investigations into pH stress indicates broadly deleterious effects for calcifiers, but responses vary greatly across taxa and can be influenced by variations in other environmental characteristics. Scaling...

Phylogenetic Studies in Tenebrionidae (Coleoptera) and Related Families

Creator:: Kanda, Kojun
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I present the results from three studies: (1) a phylogeny of Tenebrionoidea (Coleoptera) inferred from a seven-gene dataset derived from PCR and Sanger sequencing; (2) a phylogeny of Tenebrionidae, the largest family in Tenebrionoidea, inferred from a four-gene dataset also derived from PCR and Sanger sequencing; (3)...

The Roles of Recruitment, Species Interactions, and Oceanographic Context in Structuring Rocky Intertidal Communities of the Pacific Northwest and Atlantic Canada

Creator:: Meunier, Zechariah D.
Abstract:: Long-term, large-scale studies of meta-ecosystems provide critical information about how global change influences communities. In my dissertation, I analyzed data from studies encompassing 18 years (2006 – 2023) and over 1,000 km of coastline to investigate drivers of rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics. Specifically, I explored the roles of...

Marine Mass Mortality in a Global Change Context: Impacts on Individuals, Populations and Communities

Creator:: Sullivan Stack, Jenna
Abstract:: Human actions are pushing natural systems into states that have no historical precedent. In response, empirical and theoretical researchers are increasingly focused on developing ways to predict the responses of ecological systems to change. However, significant knowledge gaps remain, often leading to “ecological surprises” where observed impacts of global change...

Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Coralline Algae : From Species to Community Consequences

Creator:: Shen, Chenchen
Abstract:: Oceanic uptake of rising anthropogenic CO₂ emissions has caused the emergence of ocean acidification as a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide. Along eastern boundary current systems, seawater is naturally acidified due to coastal upwelling of low pH seawater from depth. Compounded by ocean acidification, upwelling regions are expected to...

Dogs, Death, and Dietary Breadth: Insights into the Macroecology and Macroevolution of Canidae

Creator:: Tanis, Brian P.
Abstract:: The size, shape, and stability of a species’ dietary niche can both influence and reflect a variety of biological patterns, including species interactions, extinction risk, and ecosystem function. This is particularly apparent when dietary changes manifest at ecosystem and clade scales to profoundly affect macroecological and macroevolutionary trajectories. However, many...

Drivers of Kelp Forest Responses to Global Change: From Populations to Policies

Creator:: Hamilton, Sara L.
Abstract:: Kelps are large brown algae in the order Laminariales and are foundation species that form the basis of kelp forests. Present across a quarter of the world’s coastlines, kelp forests provide diverse services to coastal communities, as habitat for commercially and culturally important species, as a food source for humans...

Invasive Pacific Lionfish Alters Native Community Interactions on Atlantic Coral Reefs

Creator:: Kindinger, Tye L.
Abstract:: Biological invasions have been identified as one of the prominent drivers of global environmental change. In particular, invasive predators typically have substantial negative effects on populations of native prey, even driving species to extinction in extreme cases. However, beyond direct predatory effects, little is understood regarding the specific mechanisms by...

So Long and Thanks for All the Sponge: Cryptic Intertidal Communities, Consequences of Ocean Acidification, and New Directions for Science Education

Creator:: Rickborn, Alissa J.
Abstract:: The current generation of scientists will be asked to mitigate climate change, stall biodiversity loss, and protect ecological communities. These are tasks that require a knowledge of both ecological and social systems to be undertaken successfully. Therefore, my dissertation spans the fields of community ecology and social sciences in an...

Individual Host to Population Scale Dynamics of Parasite Assemblages in African Buffalo of Kruger National Park, South Africa

Creator:: Glidden, Caroline K.
Abstract:: The last century has experienced a marked increase in emerging infectious disease (EID, hereafter) – jeopardizing human, domestic animal, and wildlife health. EIDs are commonly associated with spillover from one host species into a novel host species, with many destructive diseases, for both livestock and wildlife, emerging at the wildlife-livestock...
