Diversity and similarity of benthic fauna off Oregon

Creator:

Stander, Jeffrey M.

Abstract:

Samples of benthic organisms off the coast of Oregon, taken from depths varying from 50 to 2900 meters, have been analyzed in terms of diversity at a given station, and similarity and ecological distance to other stations. Estimates of epifauna abundance were also made. In the analysis an important distinction...

The effects of temperature and salinity on the early development of Adula californiensis (Pelecypoda-Mytilidae)

Creator:

Lough, Robert Gregory

Abstract:

Adula californiensis, which inhabits mudstone along the open coast and in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, is subjected to extremely varying conditions. Laboratory experiments of a factorial design were used to investigate the effects of temperature and salinity on survival, growth and respiration during early development. The rate of development to the...
