Offspring of first-generation hatchery steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) grow faster in the hatchery than offspring of wild fish, but survive worse in the wild: Possible mechanisms for inadvertent domestication and fitness loss in hatchery salmon

Creator:: Blouin, Michael S., Wrey, Madeleine C., Bollmann, Stephanie R., Skaar, James C., Twibell, Ronald G., and Fuentes, Claudio
Abstract:: Salmonid fish raised in hatcheries often have lower fitness (number of returning adult offspring) than wild fish when both spawn in the wild. Body size at release from hatcheries is positively correlated with survival at sea. So one explanation for reduced fitness is that hatcheries inadvertently select for trait values...

Aggregation of Sea Urchin Phagocytes Is Augmented In Vitro by Lipopolysaccharide

Creator:: Majeske, Audrey J., Bayne, Christopher J., and Smith, L. Courtney
Abstract:: Development of protocols and media for culturing immune cells from marine invertebrates has not kept pace with advancements in mammalian immune cell culture, the latter having been driven by the need to understand the causes of and develop therapies for human and animal diseases. However, expansion of the aquaculture industry...

Marine Protected Area Networks: Assessing Whether the Whole Is Greater than the Sum of Its Parts

Creator:: Grorud-Colvert, Kirsten, Claudet, Joachim, Tissot, Brian N., Caselle, Jennifer, E., Carr, Mark H., Day, Jon C., Friedlander, Alan M., Lester, Sarah E., Lison de Loma, Thierry, Malone, Daniel, and Walsh, William J.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic impacts are increasingly affecting the world’s oceans. Networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) provide an option for increasing the ecological and economic benefits often provided by single MPAs. It is vital to empirically assess the effects of MPA networks and to prioritize the monitoring data necessary to explain those...

The Effects of Host and Pathogen Variation on Infection Dynamics in the Amphibian-Chytrid System

Creator:: Dang, Trang D.
Abstract:: This dissertation uses manipulative experiments to explore amphibian-Bd infection dynamics. Although there has been almost two decades research since the discovery of Bd, many questions still remain regarding what conditions mediate chytridiomycosis virulence. My research shows how certain host and pathogen factors can influence disease virulence. Identifying how host and...

Heterogeneous Occupancy and Density Estimates of the Pathogenic Fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Waters of North America

Creator:: Chestnut, Tara, Anderson, Chauncey, Popa, Radu, Blaustein, Andrew R., Voytek, Mary, Olson, Deanna H., and Kirshtein, Julie
Abstract:: Biodiversity losses are occurring worldwide due to a combination of stressors. For example, by one estimate, 40% of amphibian species are vulnerable to extinction, and disease is one threat to amphibian populations. The emerging infectious disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the aquatic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is a contributor to amphibian...

The Behavioral Responses of Western Toad (Anaxyrus boreas) Larvae to Simultaneous Stressors

Creator:: Reynolds, Emily R.
Abstract:: Animals can be naturally exposed simultaneously to multiple stressors. These include habitat changes, contaminants, diseases, invasive species, parasitism, and predation. Exposure to various combinations of biotic and abiotic stressors may induce behavioral changes that affect the way an individual interacts within its environment.Like other groups of organisms, amphibians are exposed...

Development and Infectious Disease in Hosts with Complex Life Cycles

Creator:: Searle, Catherine L., Xie, Gisselle Yang, and Blaustein, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Metamorphosis is often characterized by profound changes in morphology and physiology that can affect the dynamics of species interactions. For example, the interaction between a pathogen and its host may differ depending on the life stage of the host or pathogen. One pathogen that infects hosts with complex life cycles...

Hyperdiverse Gene Cluster in Snail Host Conveys Resistance to Human Schistosome Parasites

Creator:: Tennessen, Jacob A., Théron, André, Marine, Melanie, Yeh, Jan-Ying, Rognon, Anne, and Blouin, Michael S.
Abstract:: Schistosomiasis, a neglected global pandemic, may be curtailed by blocking transmission of the parasite via its intermediate hosts, aquatic snails. Elucidating the genetic basis of snail-schistosome interaction is a key to this strategy. Here we map a natural parasite-resistance polymorphism from a Caribbean population of the snail Biomphalaria glabrata. In...

Temporal Gene Expression Variation Associated with Eyespot Size Plasticity in Bicyclus anynana

Creator:: Oliver, Jeffrey C., Ramos, Diane, Prudic, Kathleen L., and Monteiro, Antónia
Abstract:: Seasonal polyphenism demonstrates an organism's ability to respond to predictable environmental variation with alternative phenotypes, each presumably better suited to its respective environment. However, the molecular mechanisms linking environmental variation to alternative phenotypes via shifts in development remain relatively unknown. Here we investigate temporal gene expression variation in the seasonally...

Structure and Dynamics of the Canine (Canis familiaris) Nasal Microbiome

Creator:: Knorr, Elizabeth
Abstract:: The diverse community of bacteria living within and on host organisms, known as the microbiome, has an important role in maintaining host health. Dysbiosis, known as a change in the healthy community of the microbiome, has been associated with a number of diseases across host organisms and body sites including...
