Nearshore distribution of barnacle and mussel larvae and oceanographic mechanisms of onshore transport and delivery

Creator:: Tyburczy, Joe A.
Abstract:: Recruitment of larvae from the plankton is an important determinant of community structure in marine systems. In populations of many marine species, recruitment determines the basic demographic parameters of immigration, emigration, and reproduction. Moreover, the effect of recruitment as an "ecological subsidy" can determine the strength of interactions among species...

Patterns and dynamics of context-dependency in the marine rocky intertidal

Creator:: Berlow, Eric Layani
Abstract:: As ecologists are being called upon to predict the consequences of human perturbations to natural communities, an important goal is to understand what factors drive variability or consistency in nature. In the rocky intertidal of San Juan Island, Washington, a comparative experimental approach was used to investigate spatial and temporal...

The deposition and storage of hepatic lipids in the frog Ascaphus truei (Stejneger) : an electron microscopic histochemical and chromatographic study

Creator:: Belton, John Clair
Abstract:: Electron microscopic, histochemical and thin-layer chromatographic techniques have been used to study some cytological changes associated with seasonal lipid deposition in the liver of Ascaphus. Histochemical and chromatographic information has shown that unsaturated triglycerides occur in great quantities in the liver of pre-ovulatory females and may serve as a solvent...

The role of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone in the neuroendocrine control of seasonal reproduction in male rough-skinned newts, Taricha granulosa

Creator:: Zoeller, Robert T.
Abstract:: One hypothesis proposed to explain how the endocrine system controls reproductive cycles in seasonally breeding animals is that the hypothalamus undergoes seasonal changes in sensitivity to negative feedback by gonadal steroids. The result is seasonal changes in the secretion of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) and gonadotropin secretion. The present experiments...

Marine herbivore-plant interactions : the feeding ecology of the sea slug Placida dendritica

Creator:: Trowbridge, Cynthia D.
Abstract:: The feeding ecology of a common temperate mesoherbivore, the oligophagous sea slug Placida dendritica (Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia: Ascoglossa), was examined from April 1985 to June 1989. Along the central coast of Oregon, Placida consumed three host species: the low intertidal green algae Codium setchellii, C. fragile, and Bryopsis corticulans. Individual slugs...

The ecological and behavioral dynamics of breeding in three sympatric anuran amphibians

Creator:: Olson, Deanna H.
Abstract:: Breeding ecology and behavior were investigated in a field study of three sympatric anuran amphibians in the Oregon Cascade Mountains: the western toad (Bufo boreas), the Cascades frog (Rana cascadae) and the Pacific treefrog (Hyla regilla). A comprehensive study of the western toad mating system was conducted at three populations...

The roles of provenance and phylogeny in recruitment, community assembly, and species coexistence in invaded California grasslands

Creator:: Brandt, Angela J.
Abstract:: Biological invasions pose one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity, but many naturalized invaders coexist with the native community. Community ecology theory provides a framework for understanding the mechanisms by which invaders might coexist with native species or exclude them from the community, thus informing management practices to maximize...
