Ocean acidification is causing increased predation on Mytilus californianus by specialist and generalist crabs

Creator:: Toner, Miranda M.
Abstract:: Ocean acidification is negatively impacting organisms that use calcium carbonate to form their shells. Increasing OA conditions are putting a strain on these calcareous animals by weakening their shells, thus causing them to become more vulnerable to predation. Worsening shell integrity may lead to a decline in hard-shelled prey populations...

Ocean Acidification Leads to Broadening of Crab Predators and Faster Predation Rate on Mussels

Creator:: Corliss, Katherine M., Toner, Miranda M., and Britsch, Melissa
Abstract:: Ocean acidification is caused by the dissolved carbon dioxide in the oceans lowering the amount of free carbonate ions. This is turn, affects the ability of calcifying organisms like mussels to build thick shells to protect against predation. Mussels are often preyed upon by both specialist crabs, like Red Rock...

Cost to Biomphalaria glabrata of Resisting Infection by Schistosoma mansoni

Creator:: Sergi, Clint
Abstract:: Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic trematodes in the genus Schistosoma. 200 million people are infected with schistosomes. Schistosomiasis causes acute and chronic disease, and may lead to death in chronic infections. Schistosomes have a complex life cycle that requires passage through a snail intermediate host. Understanding...

Mussel selectivity for high-quality food drives carbon inputs into open-coast intertidal ecosystems

Creator:: Bracken, Matthew E. S., Menge, Bruce A., Foley, Melissa M., Sorte, Cascade J. B., Lubchenco, Jane, and Schiel, David R.
Abstract:: Filter-feeding invertebrates consume phytoplankton and detritus and therefore serve as important mediators of the exchange of materials from nearshore pelagic to intertidal benthic ecosystems. Here, we evaluated the linkages between nearshore and intertidal systems on temperate rocky reefs on the coasts of Oregon, USA, and New Zealand’s South Island. We...

Ecological subsidies to rocky intertidal communities: Linear or non-linear changes along a consistent geographic upwelling transition?

Creator:: Krenz, Christopher, Menge, Bruce A., Freidenburg, Tess L., Lubchenco, Jane, Chan, Francis, Foley, Melissa M., and Nielsen, Karina J.
Abstract:: Through bottom–up inputs and larval transport, benthic–pelagic links can have an important effect on benthic community structure. Recent work on community structure of northeast Pacific rocky shores has focused on latitudinal differences in recruitment of intertidal invertebrates as a driver of variation in community structure. Recruitment differences are associated with...

Life History of the Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) in Oregon

Creator:: Leppin, Mark V.
Abstract:: The Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) is a small, secretive boa native to the Pacific Northwest. Despite this being possibly the highest latitude boas and one of only two boas native to the continental U.S., it has received surprisingly little attention. Most of the research on the natural history of...

Phenotypic and Transcriptomic Evolution of the Circadian Clock Network in an Intertidal Marine Crustacean

Creator:: Schneck, Daniel T.
Abstract:: Daily cyclical changes of light are brought on by the axial rotation of the Earth while seasonal changes in light are caused by Earth’s tilt as it revolves around the sun. Major life history traits, such as development, which are tied to metabolic processes, have a strong link to the...

Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

Creator:: Devan-Song, E. Anne
Abstract:: Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...

Changing Climate, Changing Contexts : Variation in Rocky Intertidal Predator-prey Interactions Seen Through an Environmental Stress Framework

Creator:: Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B.
Abstract:: The multifaceted role of the environment in regulating the structure and dynamics of biological communities has long fascinated ecologists and motivated much debate and research. Now, in a time of accelerated global changes due to human impacts, the need to understand how the environment shapes communities has gained new urgency....

Carbon storage in U.S. Pacific Northwest coastal dunes : the role of invasive beachgrasses and sand supply

Creator:: Stepanek, John
Abstract:: As global atmospheric carbon emissions continue to rise, scientists and land managers are increasingly looking to natural ecosystems to sequester and store carbon to buffer the impacts of climate change. Despite their small geographic size, many coastal ecosystems such as salt marshes, seagrass meadows, and mangroves sequester large amounts of...
