  • Grazing, nutrients, and marine benthic algae : insights into the drivers and protection of diversity

    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....

  • Effects of environmental stress on intertidal mussel reproduction

    Creator:
    Petes, Laura E.
    Abstract:
    Environmental stress can negatively affect the ability of organisms to reproduce. Energetic trade-offs exist in all organisms, and under stress, energy may be allocated away from reproduction and towards physiological defense and repair mechanisms. The rocky intertidal environment is ideal for investigating the influence of environmental stress, as organisms are...

  • 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...
