Development of a next-generation NIL library in Arabidopsis thaliana for dissecting complex traits

Creator:: Fletcher, Richard S., Mullen, Jack L., Yoder, Seth, Bauerle, William L., Reuning, Gretchen, Sen, Saunak, Meyer, Eli, Juenger, Thomas E., and McKay, John K.
Abstract:: Background: The identification of the loci and specific alleles underlying variation in quantitative traits is an important goal for evolutionary biologists and breeders. Despite major advancements in genomics technology, moving from QTL to causal alleles remains a major challenge in genetics research. Near-isogenic lines are the ideal raw material for...

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...

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...

Anthropogenic Harvesting Pressure and Changes in Life History: Insights from a Rocky Intertidal Limpet

Creator:: Fenberg, Phillip B. and Roy, Kaustuv
Abstract:: The importance of large breeding individuals for maintaining the health of marine fish and invertebrate populations has long been recognized. Unfortunately, decades of human harvesting that preferentially remove larger individuals have led to drastic reductions in body sizes of many of these species. Such size-selective harvesting is particularly worrisome for...

Do lagoon physiography and hydrology determine the physico-chemical properties and trophic status of coastal lagoons? A comparative approach

Creator:: Roselli, L., Canedo-Argueelles, M., Costa Goela, P., Cristina, S., Rieradevall, M., D'Adamo, R., and Newton, A.
Abstract:: Coastal lagoons are very heterogeneous systems covering a wide range of physiographical and hydrological characteristics. The hypothesis of the present investigation was to test physiographical and hydrological characteristics of coastal lagoons affecting their physico-chemical properties and their buffer capacity against nutrient enrichment. We compared data collected during a whole annual...

Cellular Recognition, Division, and Proliferation in the Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis

Creator:: Tivey, Trevor R.
Abstract:: Cnidarians and their symbiotic dinoflagellates form a productive mutualism that shapes marine environments. In this symbiosis, dinoflagellate species from the family Symbiodiniacea reside within cnidarian host gastrodermal cells and provide the host with photosynthetically fixed carbon in exchange for host metabolites. This nutritional exchange allows both partners to thrive in...

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...

Amphibian Population Declines and Extinctions: Disease in Amphibian Communities with Cascading Effects in Freshwater Communities

Creator:: Harjoe, Carmen C.
Abstract:: Earth is experiencing unprecedented biodiversity loss. Amphibians are at the forefront of this biodiversity loss, with species declines estimated to be more severe than those of birds and mammals. Amphibian population declines and extinctions are driven by a number of factors including climate change, habitat destruction, contaminants and disease but...

Orang Asli (Indigenous Malaysian) biomedical bibliography

Creator:: Baer, Adela S., 1931-
Abstract:: The Orang Asli are the first people of the Malayo-Thai Peninsula. The first edition of the Orang Asli biomedical bibliography was appended in a book; the second edition was part of a general bibliography on Orang Asli. This third edition includes more recent studies but is also timely because Orang...

The interactive effects of excess reactive nitrogen and climate change on aquatic ecosystems and water resources of the United States

Creator:: Baron, J. S., Hall, E. K., Nolan, B. T., Finlay, J. C., Bernhardt, E. S., Harrison, J. A., Chan, F., and Boyer, E. W.
Abstract:: Nearly all freshwaters and coastal zones of the US are degraded from inputs of excess reactive nitrogen (Nr), sources of which are runoff, atmospheric N deposition, and imported food and feed. Some major adverse effects include harmful algal blooms, hypoxia of fresh and coastal waters, ocean acidification, long-term harm to...
