Creator:: Hartman, Michael Colyn
Abstract:: Clinocardium nuttallii from Yaquina Bay, Oregon, were found to harbor an algal symbiont in the siphon, mantle and occasionally the foot tissues. Approximately 35 percent of the population in the study area was infected to some degree with the alga; however, no cockles under two years of age were infected....

Creator:: Olson, Annette M.
Abstract:: The term "interaction" in evolutionary biology and ecology describes the relationships among variables in two classes of causal models. In the first, "interaction" refers to the influence of a single putatively causal variable on a variable of interest. In the second class of models, the term applies when a third...

Creator:: D'Antonio, Carla Marie, 1956-
Abstract:: Aspects of the life history and ecology of the intertidal turf-forming alga Rhodomela larix (Turner) C. Agardh were examined over a two year period at several sites on the Oregon coast. Rhodomela occurred over a broad tidal range and exhibited different growth and morphology characteristics with respect to tidal height....

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...

Creator:: van Tamelen, Peter G.
Abstract:: Gradients of physical disturbance are central to theories of community organization yet rarely are studies performed in which physical factors are experimentally manipulated. Pothole tidepool algal communities exhibit distinct zonation patterns from top to bottom that result from scouring by rocks and other debris in the pools. Scouring is easily...

Creator:: Close, Sarah L.
Abstract:: The influence of the physical environment on organisms has long been a subject of ecological research. But, the complex drivers of environmental variation, and the multiple scales at which this can occur, make studying this topic a difficult challenge. In rocky intertidal habitats, oceanographic- and climate-scale variability influence benthic communities...

Creator:: Guerry, Anne D., 1973-
Abstract:: Two of the most powerful ways in which humans have altered ecosystems are by increasing productivity and changing the densities of important consumers. The bottom-up effects of productivity and the top-down effects of consumers have been identified as primary determinants of biological diversity, though the links between them remain unclear....
