  • Patterns of macrophyte wrack deposition on sandy beaches of the Pacific Northwest coast, U.S.A.

    Creator:
    Reimer, Jessica N.
    Abstract:
    Dislodged macroalgae and seagrasses, also known as marine wrack, frequently wash into coastal ecosystems from the ocean and are potentially important ecological resources for biological communities. These!nutrient and organic matter subsidies may be especially important on sandy beaches, where little in situ primary productivity exists for higher trophic levels. To...

  • Genetic Structure, Diversity, and Mating System of Leptasterias: Potential for Local Adaptation?

    Creator:
    Boring, Emily L.
    Abstract:
    Understanding of gene flow, connectivity, and diversity is critical to predict the stability of key marine species. The Oregon coast of the U.S.A. shows fine-scale levels of geographic variation in environmental stressors such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels, prompting questions about the potential for local adaptation. In this thesis,...

  • A limpet kelp interaction : description and definition

    Creator:
    Yates, Kenneth R.
    Abstract:
    The interaction between the acmaeid limpet, Collisella instabilis and the subtidal laminarian, Pterygophora californica involves positive effects on the limpet population and subtle positive or null effects on the kelp. Collisella, which is found only on Pterygophora and another kelp, Laminaria dentigera (Kjellman, 1889), may exploit several features of the...
