Patterns, causes, and consequences of clustering of individual territories of the threespot damselfish, Stegastes planifrons

Creator:: Meadows, Dwayne W.
Abstract:: The threespot damselfish, Stegastes planifrons, maintains individual territories that are clustered on coral patch reefs. My objective was to understand the effects of territory clustering on behavior and fitness. Fish with territories in the center of a cluster had (relative to edge fish): higher mating success (number of eggs), higher...

Ecological aspects of kin discriminating behavior with implications of functional value

Creator:: Hokit, D. Grant
Abstract:: To assess the context dependence of kin discriminating behavior, I examined kin-biased aggregation behavior in tadpoles of R. cascadae in different ecological conditions. I manipulated food distribution, predator presence, thermal heterogeneity, and relatedness in a multifactorial mesocosm experiment. All four factors interacted to influence tadpole dispersion. My results suggest that...

Pheromonal mediation of reproductive behavior in the brown tree snake

Creator:: Greene, Michael John
Abstract:: In animals, reproductive behaviors serve to attract individuals together during the breeding season and to coordinate the behavioral and physiological states of individuals so that mating can successfully occur. In snakes, the various reproductive behaviors including courtship, mating, courtship inhibition, male combat and trailing are mediated primarily by pheromones. Pheromones...

Reproductive ecology and endocrinology of the garibaldi damselfish, Hypsypops rubicundus (Pomacentridae)

Creator:: Sikkel, Paul C.
Abstract:: I examined two aspects of the reproductive behavior of the garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus, a temperate marine damselfish with male parental care. My primary objective was to determine the relationship between female choice and male parental investment in the care of offspring. In particular, I sought to determine: (1) how the...

Stress and reproduction in male garter snakes

Creator:: Moore, Ignacio T.
Abstract:: Animals respond to stressful situations with increases in plasma levels of glucocorticoid stress hormones. These hormones originate from the adrenal cortex in response to stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Glucocorticoids (corticosterone in reptiles) function to mobilize energy and suppress unnecessary functions until the stress passes. Among these immediately unnecessary functions...

Algal community structure and organization in high intertidal rockpools

Creator:: van Tamelen, Peter G.
Abstract:: Gradients of physical disturbance are central to theories of community organization yet rarely are studies performed in which physical factors are experimentally manipulated. Pothole tidepool algal communities exhibit distinct zonation patterns from top to bottom that result from scouring by rocks and other debris in the pools. Scouring is easily...
