Influence of Regional Oceanography on the Distributions, Trophic Interactions, Growth, and Survival of the Early Life History Stages of Fishes

Creator:: Swieca, Kelsey
Abstract:: Most marine fishes experience high rates of mortality during their early life history stages with far reaching consequences for adult population dynamics. Within a few weeks of hatching, relatively small changes in larval growth and mortality rates can lead to orders of magnitude variability in year-class strength. Growth and survival...

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...

Context and Scale Mediate the Impact of Climate on a Widespread Avian Predator

Creator:: Brawner, Michael D.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic climate change is threatening biodiversity as I currently understand it. There is now a large body of work highlighting species responses, globally, to this threat. Importantly, responses at the species level emerge from responses at lower levels of biological organization (individuals and populations) across a species’ geographic range. For...

Diversity and Evolution of Sexual Traits in Ground Beetles (Family Carabidae)

Creator:: Gomez, R. Antonio
Abstract:: Biologists have long been fascinated with reproductive traits, in part because they are frequently exaggerated or showy, and they commonly vary among closely related species. Exaggerated sexual traits, in particular, have been the focus of intense empirical and theoretical research, but most of this work has focused on traits involved...

Grow fast or die young: influence of ocean conditions and larval growth on patterns of selective mortality and settlement variability of rockfishes

Creator:: Fennie, Hamilton William
Abstract:: Most benthic marine fishes have a biphasic life cycle with a dispersive pelagic larval stage that spends weeks to months in the plankton before metamorphosing into juveniles and settling to benthic habitats. The magnitude of mortality during the early life stages of marine fishes typically drives variability in year-class strength....

Plankton food web dynamics and larval fish success : influence of prey and predator distributions on larval fish diet, growth, and assemblages in the Straits of Florida

Creator:: Gleiber, Miram R.
Abstract:: Survival of marine fishes during their early life history stage is tightly related to prey availability and predation pressure. Yet, our understanding of how individual larvae to entire assemblages are constrained by these factors is limited. We integrated biological sampling of larval fishes with fine-scale in situ imaging to relate...

Orbiting the Genus of False Units: Dynamics of Phage Genomes and Nematode Microbiomes Associated with Pseudomonas spp.

Creator:: Ha, Anh D.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas is a diverse, ubiquitous, and widely studied genus of bacteria. As Pseudomonas species occupy a wide range of niches in the ecosystem, they have made remarkable biological impacts. Better understanding of Pseudomonas biology, genetic diversity, and functional interactions with other organisms and the environment will provide valuable insights into...

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...

Habitat Use and Ecological Interactions of Invasive Lionfish in the Bahamas

Creator:: Davis, Alexandra C. D.
Abstract:: Invasive species are a growing global economic and ecological problem. Invasive Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois spp.) are known to have extreme negative effects on coral-reef communities in the Bahamas, so understating their distribution within and among reefs, what limits their local movements, and the effects they have on native prey species...

Coastal Dune Ecology, Geomorphology, and Ecosystem Services : How Invasive Beachgrasses, their Interactions, and Sediment Dynamics Shape U.S. Pacific Northwest Dunes

Creator:: Biel, Reuben G.
Abstract:: Biological invasions and climate change represent two preeminent threats to ecological communities and biodiversity, altering the distribution and abundance of species, disrupting existing species interactions and forming unprecedented ones, and creating novel ecological communities. Many of the most successful invasive species are also ecosystem engineers, species that physically modify the...
