Advancing marine reserve science : from field experiments to marine conservation planning tools

Creator:: Leslie, Heather M.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on science relevant to the design and implementation of marine reserves. The chapters explore a range of topics related to among-site variation in population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. My results demonstrate the value and feasibility of integrating this knowledge into more comprehensive conservation and management approaches. While...

Evolutionary and ecological interactions affecting seaweeds

Creator:: Olson, Annette M.
Abstract:: The term "interaction" in evolutionary biology and ecology describes the relationships among variables in two classes of causal models. In the first, "interaction" refers to the influence of a single putatively causal variable on a variable of interest. In the second class of models, the term applies when a third...

A green algal symbiont in Clinocardium nuttallii

Creator:: Hartman, Michael Colyn
Abstract:: Clinocardium nuttallii from Yaquina Bay, Oregon, were found to harbor an algal symbiont in the siphon, mantle and occasionally the foot tissues. Approximately 35 percent of the population in the study area was infected to some degree with the alga; however, no cockles under two years of age were infected....

Marine herbivore-plant interactions : the feeding ecology of the sea slug Placida dendritica

Creator:: Trowbridge, Cynthia D.
Abstract:: The feeding ecology of a common temperate mesoherbivore, the oligophagous sea slug Placida dendritica (Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia: Ascoglossa), was examined from April 1985 to June 1989. Along the central coast of Oregon, Placida consumed three host species: the low intertidal green algae Codium setchellii, C. fragile, and Bryopsis corticulans. Individual slugs...

A study of the effects of exposure to air on the respiration of two intertidal snails

Creator:: Baker, Carol Dianne
Abstract:: Callistoma costatum and Tegula funebralis, marine intertidal snails from low and high littoral zones respectively, were exposed to air for two, six and twelve hour periods, during which time their oxygen consumption rates were measured. The animals were then immersed in sea water and their respiration rates recorded for a...

Population and community ecology of the red alga Rhodomela larix (Turner) C. Agardh, on the central Oregon coast

Creator:: D'Antonio, Carla Marie, 1956-
Abstract:: Aspects of the life history and ecology of the intertidal turf-forming alga Rhodomela larix (Turner) C. Agardh were examined over a two year period at several sites on the Oregon coast. Rhodomela occurred over a broad tidal range and exhibited different growth and morphology characteristics with respect to tidal height....

Phytoplankton shading of marine benthic macrophytes: Implications for intertidal community structure

Creator:: Kavanaugh, Maria T.
Abstract:: Previous observations of light levels and phytoplankton abundances along the Oregon coast demonstrated that phytoplankton attenuated light sufficiently to potentially limit the growth of intertidal macrophytes and therefore structure local intertidal communities. Inspired by this observation, in spring 2004, I initiated a study to quantify the direct and indirect benthic...

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...

Ecological subsidies to rocky shore communities : setting the stage for community dynamics in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Krenz, Christopher
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the importance of pelagic subsidies in the Northeast Pacific to rocky shore community regulation. My results document the patterns of pelagic subsidy supply, determine if those subsidies are correlated with community structure, and examine if community regulation differs between areas of high- and low-subsidies. Understanding how...

So Long and Thanks for All the Sponge: Cryptic Intertidal Communities, Consequences of Ocean Acidification, and New Directions for Science Education

Creator:: Rickborn, Alissa J.
Abstract:: The current generation of scientists will be asked to mitigate climate change, stall biodiversity loss, and protect ecological communities. These are tasks that require a knowledge of both ecological and social systems to be undertaken successfully. Therefore, my dissertation spans the fields of community ecology and social sciences in an...
