Metabolic adjustment to temperature in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (Stimpson)

Creator:: Ulbricht, Richard Jules
Abstract:: The metabolism of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (Stimpson) was investigated at several levels of urchin organization. Some experiments were performed with tissues from recently collected (acclimatized) urchins, Other experiments were performed with tissues from urchins held at one of two temperatures (acclimated) for 30 days. Body-component oxygen consumption was measured for bodywall,...

Population dynamics of coral-reef fishes : spatial variation in emigration, mortality, and predation

Creator:: Overholtzer-McLeod, Karen L.
Abstract:: Understanding the dynamics of open marine populations is difficult. Ecological processes may vary with the spatial structure of the habitat, and this variation may subsequently affect demographic rates. In a series of observational and experimental studies in the Bahamas, I examined the roles of emigration, mortality, and predation in the...

A new species of Bembidion Latrielle 1802 from the Ozarks, with a review of the North American species of subgenus Trichoplataphus Netolitzky 1914 (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Bembidiini)

Creator:: Hildebrandt, Drew A. and Maddison, David R.
Abstract:: A new species of Bembidion (Trichoplataphus Netolitzky) from the Ozark Plateau of Missouri and Arkansas is described (Bembidion ozarkense Maddison and Hildebrandt). It is distinguishable from the closely related species, Bembidion rolandi Fall, by characteristics of the male genitalia, and sequences of the genes cytochrome oxidase I and 28S ribosomal...

Role of priority effects and habitat complexity in coral-reef fish communities

Creator:: Almany, Glenn R.
Abstract:: Understanding the processes that influence the composition of animal communities is a central goal in ecology. Interactions between established residents and colonizing juveniles that affect the subsequent survival of juveniles may influence community composition. In a series of experiments on coral reef fish communities in the Bahamas and Australia, I...

Behavioral adaptations and the minimization of reproductive costs in the male red-sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis.

Creator:: O'Donnell, Ryan P.
Abstract:: The benefits of reproduction are clear, but there are also costs. Much is known about the costs of reproduction in females, but only recently have male costs been investigated in any depth. These costs of reproduction may be minimized by appropriately modifying behavior, but there has been little research on...

Cholinesterase activity in the neural retina of the developing chick

Creator:: Rynd, Lori Suzanne
Abstract:: Developmental changes in the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7) and pseudocholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) were examined in ovo and in vitro in the neural retina of the developing chick. In addition, investigations of cellular interactions and hormones as possible control mechanisms of enzyme synthesis were made. The specific activity of acetylcholinesterase, a...

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...

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...

Indirect effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on larval amphibians as mediated by food quality and trophic interactions

Creator:: Scheessele, Erin A.
Abstract:: Ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) is an abiotic stressor in both terrestrial and aquatic systems. The stratospheric ozone layer, depleted due to anthropogenic activities and the cause of elevated UVB at earth's surface over the last four decades, is predicted to recover by 2065. However, UVB levels in aquatic systems may continue...
