  • 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,...

  • 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...
