Community organization and succession in rocky intertidal surfgrass beds

Creator:

Turner, Teresa

Abstract:

Succession and organization of rocky intertidal zone surfgrass beds (Phyllospadix scouleri Hook) were examined experimentally at two sites on the Oregon coast. The interaction of three attributes of the plant -- high persistence, high preemption, and slow recovery -- strongly influences the organization of surfgrass beds. Permanent plots indicate that...

Isolation and characterization of a larval crustacean salt gland from the brine shrimp Artemia salina

Creator:

Lowy, Robert Joel

Abstract:

A method for isolating the salt gland (SG) from the larval brine shrimp has been developed. This extra-renal organ is removed from 5-10% of Stage Inauplii by vortexing after incubating the animals at 37°C for 8 hours in a saline solution buffered with 100 mM sodium phosphate at pH 7.6....

Novel icosanoids from the red marine alga Farlowia mollis

Creator:

Solem, Michele Lee

Abstract:

Farlowia mollis is a marine red alga that grows in the intertidal region along the coast of Oregon. We began studying the chemistry of this alga after a survey of Oregon seaweeds revealed possibly interesting chemistry and antimicrobial activity in its crude organic extract. Over the past three years the...
