  • Patterns and dynamics of context-dependency in the marine rocky intertidal

    Creator:
    Berlow, Eric Layani
    Abstract:
    As ecologists are being called upon to predict the consequences of human perturbations to natural communities, an important goal is to understand what factors drive variability or consistency in nature. In the rocky intertidal of San Juan Island, Washington, a comparative experimental approach was used to investigate spatial and temporal...

  • The roles of provenance and phylogeny in recruitment, community assembly, and species coexistence in invaded California grasslands

    Creator:
    Brandt, Angela J.
    Abstract:
    Biological invasions pose one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity, but many naturalized invaders coexist with the native community. Community ecology theory provides a framework for understanding the mechanisms by which invaders might coexist with native species or exclude them from the community, thus informing management practices to maximize...

  • Seasonal floodplain wetlands as fish habitat in Oregon and Washington

    Creator:
    Baker, Cynthia F.
    Abstract:
    To begin to understand freshwater seasonal floodplain fish communities in the context of human alteration of the physical system, species introductions and wetland restoration efforts, I studied fish assemblages in fifteen seasonal floodplain wetlands within four geographic regions (coastal, upper Columbia River estuary, Puget Sound and eastern Oregon/Washington) in the...
