  • Phylogenetic Studies in Tenebrionidae (Coleoptera) and Related Families

    Creator:
    Kanda, Kojun
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I present the results from three studies: (1) a phylogeny of Tenebrionoidea (Coleoptera) inferred from a seven-gene dataset derived from PCR and Sanger sequencing; (2) a phylogeny of Tenebrionidae, the largest family in Tenebrionoidea, inferred from a four-gene dataset also derived from PCR and Sanger sequencing; (3)...

  • Prokaryotes associated with marine crust

    Creator:
    Mason, Olivia Underwood
    Abstract:
    Oceanic crust covers nearly 70% of the Earth's surface, of which, the upper, sediment layer is estimated to harbor substantial microbial biomass. Marine crust; however, extends several kilometers beyond this surficial layer, and includes the basalt and gabbro layers. In particular, the basalt layer has high permeabilities which allows for...

  • Dynamics of organic matter production and degradation during coastal diatom blooms

    Creator:
    Wetz, Michael S.
    Abstract:
    Experiments were designed to answer key questions about diatom-derived organic matter cycling (i.e., production and degradation) in coastal systems. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) production was examined in axenic batch cultures of five diatom species. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release rates varied between species, but were significantly higher for all species...

  • Satellite observations of the influence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface temperature, phytoplankton and surface stress

    Creator:
    Gaube, Peter
    Abstract:
    The influence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface ocean temperature, surface stress and phytoplankton communities is investigated by collocating numerous satellite measurements along with vertical profiles of oceanic temperature and salinity to the interiors of eddies identified and tracked in altimetric sea surface height maps. The surface currents associated with...
