Ecological aspects of kin discriminating behavior with implications of functional value

Creator:: Hokit, D. Grant
Abstract:: To assess the context dependence of kin discriminating behavior, I examined kin-biased aggregation behavior in tadpoles of R. cascadae in different ecological conditions. I manipulated food distribution, predator presence, thermal heterogeneity, and relatedness in a multifactorial mesocosm experiment. All four factors interacted to influence tadpole dispersion. My results suggest that...

The effects of multiple pathogens on amphibians in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Romansic, John M.
Abstract:: The earth is undergoing a “biodiversity crisis” characterized by loss of populations, species, genetic diversity, and ecosystem services. Part of this crisis consists of population declines, extinctions, and increased incidence of deformities in amphibians. It is unknown whether deformities contribute to these declines. Many cases of population declines in amphibians...

The fine structure of spermatid differentiation in the mussel, Mytilus edulis, Linn

Creator:: Longo, Frank J., 1939-
Abstract:: The spermiogenesis of Mytilus edulis (a marine mussel) has been studied, employing techniques of light and electron microscopy and cytochemical preparations. The observations trace the development of the acrosomal complex, the nucleus, the mitochondrial middle-piece, and the flagellum. In early spermatids numerous membrane-bounded proacrosomal vesicles arise from several Golgi complexes...

Neorickettsia helminthoeca in cell culture

Creator:: Noonan, William Edward
Abstract:: The etiologic agent of salmon poisoning disease was found to be Neorickettsia helminthoeca, although a second organism, the Elokomin fluke fever agent, may also be involved in other areas. Primary cultures of dog leucocytes were found to support the in vitro cultivation of Neorickettsia helminthoeca as were canine sarcoma 503...

Developmental cranial osteology of three species of Rana (Anura)

Creator:: Altig, Ronald Gail
Abstract:: Developmental series of Rana pretiosa (110 specimens), R. cascadae (100 specimens) and R. aurora (115 specimens) were bone stained and cleared in glycerin. The growth and developmental patterns of the skull and selected bones were followed from the first appearance of bone through adult stages. The sequential appearance of the...

An Integrated Approach to Gauge the Effects of Global Climate Change on Headwater Stream Ecosystems

Creator:: Bury, Gwendolynn W.
Abstract:: Climate change is predicted to affect ecosystems, including systems already stressed by human impacts. One ecosystem that is already highly impacted by human land use is the cold headwater stream system of the Pacific Northwest. One method of assessing the function of an ecosystem is by using an indicator species....

The effects of an emerging pathogen on amphibian host behaviors and interactions

Creator:: Han, Barbara A.
Abstract:: Contemporary environmental change encompasses massive biodiversity loss and increasing numbers of emerging diseases worldwide. As part of a global biodiversity crisis, amphibians are disappearing at unprecedented rates. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is an emerging infectious pathogen prominently associated with many declines. Chapter 1 reviews the past decade of research on this system...

All hosts are not created equal : variation in amphibian responses to an emerging fungal pathogen and why it matters

Creator:: Gervasi, Stephanie S.
Abstract:: Emerging infectious diseases are increasing globally and are a threat to human, wildlife, and ecosystem health. The emerging fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), or amphibian chytrid fungus, is associated with worldwide amphibian population declines and extinctions. Bd has been found on every continent where amphibians exist and has been documented...
