  • 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...

  • Marine conservation in Latin America and the Caribbean : an analysis of marine protected areas (MPAs)

    Creator:
    Guarderas, A. Paulina
    Abstract:
    Coastal and marine ecosystems in Latin America and the Caribbean are undergoing a rapid and drastic transformation. Dense human populations are concentrated in coastal areas, leading to increased coastal development, destruction of near-shore habitats, pollution, and overexploitation of marine resources. For most Latin American and Caribbean countries, the deterioration of...

  • Phytoplankton shading of marine benthic macrophytes: Implications for intertidal community structure

    Creator:
    Kavanaugh, Maria T.
    Abstract:
    Previous observations of light levels and phytoplankton abundances along the Oregon coast demonstrated that phytoplankton attenuated light sufficiently to potentially limit the growth of intertidal macrophytes and therefore structure local intertidal communities. Inspired by this observation, in spring 2004, I initiated a study to quantify the direct and indirect benthic...
