The roles of nutrient dynamics, oceanography, and light in the structure and functioning of rocky intertidal macrophyte assemblages

Creator:: Close, Sarah L.
Abstract:: The influence of the physical environment on organisms has long been a subject of ecological research. But, the complex drivers of environmental variation, and the multiple scales at which this can occur, make studying this topic a difficult challenge. In rocky intertidal habitats, oceanographic- and climate-scale variability influence benthic communities...

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...

Linkages between mangrove forests and coral reefs : quantifying disturbance effects and energy flow between systems

Creator:: Granek, Elise F.
Abstract:: Interface habitats are considered valuable natural systems, tightly linked to adjacent habitats through the flow of matter and energy. However, there is limited research on mechanisms of connectivity such as movement of organisms and particulate matter and ways in which anthropogenic disturbance to interface habitats may affect immediate and adjacent...

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...

Bridging environmental physiology and community ecology : temperature effects at the community level

Creator:: Iles, Alison C.
Abstract:: Most climate change predictions focus on the response of individual species to changing local conditions and ignore species interactions, largely due to the lack of a sound theoretical foundation for how interactions are expected to change with climate and how to incorporate them into climate change models. Much of the...

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...

The ecology of ocean acidification : integrating the effects of pH variation among other environmental stressors on biogeography and organismal performance in rocky intertidal communities

Creator:: Rose, Jeremy M.
Abstract:: Ocean Acidification (OA) has emerged as a major threat to marine ecosystems, particularly regarding calcifying organisms. A growing body of literature describing laboratory investigations into pH stress indicates broadly deleterious effects for calcifiers, but responses vary greatly across taxa and can be influenced by variations in other environmental characteristics. Scaling...

Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Coralline Algae : From Species to Community Consequences

Creator:: Shen, Chenchen
Abstract:: Oceanic uptake of rising anthropogenic CO₂ emissions has caused the emergence of ocean acidification as a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide. Along eastern boundary current systems, seawater is naturally acidified due to coastal upwelling of low pH seawater from depth. Compounded by ocean acidification, upwelling regions are expected to...

The role of oxygen and other environmental variables on survivorship, abundance, and community structure of invertebrate meroplankton of Oregon nearshore coastal waters

Creator:: Eerkes-Medrano, Dafne I.
Abstract:: The high productivity of Eastern Boundary Upwelling Ecosystems (EBUE), some of the most productive ecosystems in the globe, is attributed to the nutrient rich waters brought up through upwelling. Climate change scenarios for coastal upwelling systems, predict an intensification of coastal upwelling winds. Associated with intensification in upwelling are biogeochemical...

Changing Climate, Changing Contexts : Variation in Rocky Intertidal Predator-prey Interactions Seen Through an Environmental Stress Framework

Creator:: Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B.
Abstract:: The multifaceted role of the environment in regulating the structure and dynamics of biological communities has long fascinated ecologists and motivated much debate and research. Now, in a time of accelerated global changes due to human impacts, the need to understand how the environment shapes communities has gained new urgency....
