Genome-Wide Scan and Test of Candidate Genes in the Snail Biomphalaria glabrata Reveal New Locus Influencing Resistance to Schistosoma mansoni

Creator:: Tennessen, Jacob A., Bonner, Kaitlin M., Bollmann, Stephanie R., Johnstun, Joel A., Yeh, Jan-Ying, Marine, Melanie, Tavalire, Hannah F., Bayne, Christopher J., and Blouin, Michael S.
Abstract:: Background: New strategies to combat the global scourge of schistosomiasis may be revealed by increased understanding of the mechanisms by which the obligate snail host can resist the schistosome parasite. However, few molecular markers linked to resistance have been identified and characterized in snails. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we test six...

Thermal Tolerance and Adaptation in Cnidarians: An Investigation of Host Transcriptomic Responses and Heritable Variation Across Natural Populations

Creator:: Dziedzic, Katherine E.
Abstract:: Coral reefs have become vulnerable to climate change, with mass bleaching events, the loss of symbiotic algae (Symbiodiniaceae), increasing in both frequency and severity. As climate change continues to threaten the persistence and existence of coral reefs around the world, the biggest question posed for coral reefs is “can they...

Trade-offs in a pathogen-rich world : genetic and maternal drivers of variation in costly resistance and immunity in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer)

Creator:: Tavalire, Hannah F.
Abstract:: Disease acts as a powerful selective force in natural systems, driving the rapid evolution of resistance in the host. In the face of a myriad of pathogenic challenges in natural systems, hosts must balance the energetic needs of maintenance and reproduction with costly resistance mechanisms. In this dissertation I will...

Status of the European Green Crab in Oregon and Washington Estuaries in 2015

Creator:: Yamada, Sylvia Behrens and Randall, Andrea
Abstract:: The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) has a six-year life span and has persisted at low densities in Oregon and Washington coastal estuaries since the late 1990’s. After the arrival of a strong year class in 1998, significant recruitment to the Oregon and Washington populations occurred only in 2003, 2005,...

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...

Adaptive Potential of Coastal Invertebrates to Environmental Stressors and Climate Change

Creator:: Burton, Andrea R.
Abstract:: Climate change presents multiple stressors that are impacting marine life. As carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase in the atmosphere, atmospheric and sea water temperatures increase. In addition, more carbon dioxide is absorbed into the oceans, reducing pH and aragonite saturation state, resulting in ocean acidification (OA). Tightly coupled with...

Effects of Diversity on Emerging Infectious Diseases of Amphibians

Creator:: Snyder, Paul W.
Abstract:: Species declines and extinctions have been recorded across taxa as evidence of an ongoing global biodiversity crisis. Amphibians are at the forefront of these declines with nearly one third of amphibian species estimated to be at risk of extinction. While many factors contribute to population declines and extinctions, the role...

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...

Navigating food and foes in the savanna : nutrition, infections and spatial ecology in African buffalo

Creator:: Combrink, Hendrik J.
Abstract:: The intricate relationship between wildlife health and the quality of their environment is well established, with technological advances increasing our understanding and aiding the unraveling of underlying mechanisms. Large herbivores require forage of sufficient quality to maintain their condition to reproduce and survive, all while warding off parasites and predators...
