  • Marine reserves in The Bahamas and Ecuador : a scientific and socioeconomic perspective

    Creator:
    Lamb, Robert W.
    Abstract:
    Marine reserves are known to directly replenish overfished species. However, the community-wide effects of reserves are less clear. I examined the community of coralreef fishes in a large, fully protected marine reserve in The Bahamas: the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. Visual-transect surveys provided estimates and comparisons of the...

  • Spatial and temporal variations in respiration rates and hypoxia on the Oregon shelf

    Creator:
    Wolf, Megan J.
    Abstract:
    Inner shelf hypoxia has occurred along the Oregon coast between the latitudes 44ºN and 45ºN since 2002 with increasing duration and intensity, posing a threat to marine life. The objective of this research was to determine whether variation in respiration rate explains spatial and temporal variation in hypoxia. Dissolved oxygen...

  • The Predictability of Qualitative Food Web Dynamics in Response to Extinction and Invasion

    Creator:
    Rockow, David J.
    Abstract:
    Food webs are extraordinarily complex, containing myriad direct interactions and indirect effects. Determining how this network of interactions and effects influences a food web’s qualitative dynamics is a challenging task, especially because data on food web structure and individual interaction strengths is unknown in virtually all real-world ecosystems. The goal...
