So Long and Thanks for All the Sponge: Cryptic Intertidal Communities, Consequences of Ocean Acidification, and New Directions for Science Education

Creator:

Rickborn, Alissa J.

Abstract:

The current generation of scientists will be asked to mitigate climate change, stall biodiversity loss, and protect ecological communities. These are tasks that require a knowledge of both ecological and social systems to be undertaken successfully. Therefore, my dissertation spans the fields of community ecology and social sciences in an...

Effects of ocean acidification on growth rate, calcified tissue, and behavior of the juvenile ochre sea star, Pisaster ochraceus

Creator:

Britsch, Melissa L.

Abstract:

Anthropogenically-induced increases in the acidity of the ocean have the potential to seriously harm marine calcifying organisms by decreasing the availability of carbonate (CO32−) used to make shells. I tested the effects of lowered pH on juvenile Pisaster ochraceus, an intertidal sea star and keystone predator in the eastern Pacific...

Honors College Thesis
The effects of interspecies interactions and environmental conditions on biomass accumulation of sessile organisms within Oregon’s rocky mid-intertidal habitats

Creator:

Carsh, Alexander C.

Abstract:

With changing climate conditions and human impacts on ecosystems becoming a big focus of study, it has become even more crucial to understand how our ecosystems work. Community structure within rocky intertidal habitats is governed by a mix of environmental conditions and species interactions. This project examined the effects of...

Effects of Hypoxia on Survival and Growth of Barnacle Larvae Off the Oregon Coast

Creator:

Amstutz, Amanda C.

Abstract:

In recent years off the United States Oregon coast severe hypoxic events have resulted in areas of mass vertebrate and invertebrate species mortality known as dead zones. Creation of dead zones and alteration of community species composition in response to inner shelf hypoxic conditions have been observed annually from 2002...

Intertidal Ecology along the Western Coastlines of the Pacific : Upwelling and Bottom-up Effects in Chile and Oregon

Creator:

Murphy, Christina A.

Abstract:

The coastal regions of Chile and Oregon are some of the most productive ecosystems in the world. The intertidal communities of both areas have been well studied, but much remains to be learned about how those communities are structured over large scales. Here, I explore the upwelling regimes and the...

Honors College Thesis
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....

Dissertation
Patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish, sebastes spp., along the Oregon coast

Creator:

Young, Thomas

Abstract:

Rockfish of the genus Sebastes are important components of Oregon reef communities. I examined patterns of age and growth in young-of-year rockfish across two nested spatial scales – local and regional – along the Oregon coast. Using otolith microstructural examination, I examined the relative importance of local versus regional factors...
