Acute phase proteins in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Gerwick, Lena
Abstract:: The acute phase response (APR) includes an early response of the innate immune system to an inflammatory agent. Acute phase proteins (APP) are produced at increased rates in the liver during this response. The APR has been well characterized in mammals, but it is unclear to what degree teleosts mount...

Modulation of respiratory burst activity of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) phagocytic cells

Creator:: Galvan, Irja S.
Abstract:: In a comparison of the mammalian and fish immune systems many similarities and differences are found. While most of the differences occur in the acquired or lymphoid arm of immunity, the nonlymphoid immune systems of fish and mammals share many similarities. For instance, both animal groups use phagocytic neutrophils and...

Neural regulation of immunity in teleosts

Creator:: Flory, Craig M.
Abstract:: It has long been observed that stress can increase our susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancers. Recent experimental evidence suggests that this increased susceptibility is due to suppression of immunity. A variety of neuroendocrine products are released during periods of stress, and a large number of these are now known...

Immediate effects of acute stress on innate immunity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Demers, Nora Egan
Abstract:: This thesis tests the hypothesis that innate immunity may be enhanced immediately following a stressful event. The experiments characterize the acute effects of the fight or flight response on some immunological and endocrine parameters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Plasma cortisol and catecholamines were elevated within seconds of the initiation...

Immunological perspectives of a host-parasite system : studies on the humoral and cellular components of Biomphalaria glabrata, New World host for Schistosoma mansoni

Creator:: Boswell, Carl A.
Abstract:: The host snail Biomphalaria glabrata and the parasitic trematode Schistosoma mansoni are valuable subjects for studies evaluating and defining immunological parameters that determine the outcome of individual host-parasite encounters. In this thesis, both soluble and cellular components of the snail's hemolymph were examined to gain insight into the basis for...

Indirect effects of fishing on predators and their prey

Creator:: Stallings, Christopher Derek
Abstract:: Predators are fundamentally important for regulating and driving prey population dynamics as well as structuring ecological communities. Over-exploitation of marine resources has caused dramatic depletions of predatory fish species and shifts in marine community composition, with attendant declines in productivity and diversity of marine ecosystems. Despite the important ramifications of...

Patterns and mechanisms : postcopulatory sexual selection and sexual conflict in a novel mating system

Creator:: Friesen, Christopher R.
Abstract:: Postcopulatory sexual selection—sperm competition and cryptic female choice—has become a major area of research over the past 40 years. Within this field there are many outstanding questions at every level of analysis, from proximate to ultimate. The fitness consequences for both sexes in the period after copulation and before fertilization...

Ecological subsidies to rocky shore communities : setting the stage for community dynamics in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Krenz, Christopher
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the importance of pelagic subsidies in the Northeast Pacific to rocky shore community regulation. My results document the patterns of pelagic subsidy supply, determine if those subsidies are correlated with community structure, and examine if community regulation differs between areas of high- and low-subsidies. Understanding how...

The role of avian predators in an Oregon rocky intertidal community

Creator:: Marsh, Christopher P.
Abstract:: Birds affected the community structure of an Oregon rocky shore by preying upon mussels (Mytilus spp.) and limpets (Collisella spp.). The impact of such predation is potentially great, as mussels are the competitively dominant mid-intertidal space-occupiers, and limpets are important herbivores in this community. Prey selection by birds reflects differences...
