Changing Climate, Changing Contexts : Variation in Rocky Intertidal Predator-prey Interactions Seen Through an Environmental Stress Framework

Creator:: Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B.
Abstract:: The multifaceted role of the environment in regulating the structure and dynamics of biological communities has long fascinated ecologists and motivated much debate and research. Now, in a time of accelerated global changes due to human impacts, the need to understand how the environment shapes communities has gained new urgency....

The effects of parasites on host behavior : who benefits?

Creator:: Lefcort, Hugh G.
Abstract:: Some parasites may modify the behavior of their hosts. Altered behaviors may: 1) benefit the host in that they defend against the pathogen, 2) benefit the pathogen and represent manipulations of the host response, and 3) benefit neither the host or the pathogen and simply be a product of the...

A comparative analysis of morphological, physiological, and biochemical adaptation to abiotic stress in intertidal porcelain crabs, genus Petrolisthes

Creator:: Stillman, Jonathon Harris
Abstract:: Organismal tolerance to abiotic environmental stresses contributes significantly to setting the distribution limits of organisms, as demonstrated by vertical zonation patterns in the marine intertidal zone. In this thesis, the ultimate (evolutionary) and proximate (mechanistic) causes of tolerance to temperature and emersion stresses associated with the intertidal zone were examined...

Osmotic and ionic regulation in the Dungeness crab, Cancer magister (Dana)

Creator:: Alspach, George Samuel, Jr.
Abstract:: Osmotic and ionic regulation was studied in the Dungeness crab, Cancer magister, after acute exposure to a range of five salinities from 25% to 125% sea water (100% = 32%). Blood, urine and muscle tissue were sampled at 24 and 48 hours after exposure. Analyses were made of blood and...

Polygyny in the bobolink : habitat quality and the adaptive complex

Creator:: Martin, Stephen George, 1941-
Abstract:: The adaptiveness of polygyny in passerines poses a particularly intriguing problem. The altricial young of this group require extended parental care, but young of polygynous pairings generally lack the undivided attention of the male which young of monogamous pairings receive. Polygynous offspring may thus be undernourished and experience greater mortality....

Linkages between mangrove forests and coral reefs : quantifying disturbance effects and energy flow between systems

Creator:: Granek, Elise F.
Abstract:: Interface habitats are considered valuable natural systems, tightly linked to adjacent habitats through the flow of matter and energy. However, there is limited research on mechanisms of connectivity such as movement of organisms and particulate matter and ways in which anthropogenic disturbance to interface habitats may affect immediate and adjacent...

Oceanographic influences on rocky intertidal communities : coastal upwelling, invertebrate growth rates, and keystone predation

Creator:: Sanford, Eric (Eric David)
Abstract:: The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...

Effects of the invasive Pacific red lionfish Pterois volitans on native Atlantic coral-reef fish communities

Creator:: Albins, Mark A.
Abstract:: Predatory lionfishes (Pterois volitans and P. miles) were introduced to Florida waters during the mid to late 1980s, and eventually established self-sustaining breeding populations in the tropical western Atlantic. These invasive species are now widespread along the southeastern seaboard of the United States, across the Caribbean Sea, and in the...
