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,...

Creator:

Johnson, Steven Mana'oakamai

Abstract:

The defining feature of our planet are the oceans, which make up 70% of the Earth’s surface. The importance of the ocean cannot be understated: 50% of oxygen originates from phytoplankton; heat is absorbed and redistributed by ocean currents; and hundreds of millions of people rely on the ocean for...

Grow fast or die young: influence of ocean conditions and larval growth on patterns of selective mortality and settlement variability of rockfishes

Creator:

Fennie, Hamilton William

Abstract:

Most benthic marine fishes have a biphasic life cycle with a dispersive pelagic larval stage that spends weeks to months in the plankton before metamorphosing into juveniles and settling to benthic habitats. The magnitude of mortality during the early life stages of marine fishes typically drives variability in year-class strength....
