Adaptive Potential of Coastal Invertebrates to Environmental Stressors and Climate Change

Creator:

Burton, Andrea R.

Abstract:

Climate change presents multiple stressors that are impacting marine life. As carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase in the atmosphere, atmospheric and sea water temperatures increase. In addition, more carbon dioxide is absorbed into the oceans, reducing pH and aragonite saturation state, resulting in ocean acidification (OA). Tightly coupled with...

Genetic Structure, Diversity, and Mating System of Leptasterias: Potential for Local Adaptation?

Creator:

Boring, Emily L.

Abstract:

Understanding of gene flow, connectivity, and diversity is critical to predict the stability of key marine species. The Oregon coast of the U.S.A. shows fine-scale levels of geographic variation in environmental stressors such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels, prompting questions about the potential for local adaptation. In this thesis,...

Phenotypic and Transcriptomic Evolution of the Circadian Clock Network in an Intertidal Marine Crustacean

Creator:

Schneck, Daniel T.

Abstract:

Daily cyclical changes of light are brought on by the axial rotation of the Earth while seasonal changes in light are caused by Earth’s tilt as it revolves around the sun. Major life history traits, such as development, which are tied to metabolic processes, have a strong link to the...
