Cellular and molecular aspects of cnidarian-algal associations

Creator:: Schwarz, Jodi A.
Abstract:: Intracellular symbioses between cnidarians and dinoflagellates from the genus Symbiodinium are widespread throughout the marine environment. These associations are ecologically significant, especially in tropical waters where symbiotic interactions between corals and Symbiodinium culminate in the formation of limestone reefs. This thesis focuses on cellular and molecular aspects of the symbiosis,...

Science Education Through Comics: Improving Understanding of Current Marine Environmental Issues

Creator:: Schwarz, Zale
Abstract:: According to a 2017 Pew Research Study, 44% of adults in America say that they do not feel informed enough about science to understand news and new discoveries discussed on the media (Funk et al. 2019). This is concerning, because adults are not just passive consumers of media; among other...

Immunological perspectives of a host-parasite system : studies on the humoral and cellular components of Biomphalaria glabrata, New World host for Schistosoma mansoni

Creator:: Boswell, Carl A.
Abstract:: The host snail Biomphalaria glabrata and the parasitic trematode Schistosoma mansoni are valuable subjects for studies evaluating and defining immunological parameters that determine the outcome of individual host-parasite encounters. In this thesis, both soluble and cellular components of the snail's hemolymph were examined to gain insight into the basis for...

The oplophorid and pasiphaeid shrimp from off the Oregon coast

Creator:: Forss, Carl Albert
Abstract:: The 13 species of shrimps studied for this thesis were collected off the Oregon coast. The family Oplophoridae is well represented in this area. Five of the seven known genera were identified. Hymenodora frontalis, H. glacialis, and H. gracilis were described and further differentiating characters were illustrated. Other members of...

Larval settlement and juvenile group dynamics in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella)

Creator:: Booth, David J. (David John), 1958-
Abstract:: Patterns of settlement of larvae and population dynamics of juveniles are poorly known for coral reef fishes. During 1987 to 1989, I studied these phenomena in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella), a species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Larvae settle onto branching coral heads as new recruits (10-15 mm in...

Evolution of sodefrin precursor pheromones in salamandrid newts

Creator:: von Reis, Martha
Abstract:: An ancient pheromonal signal is found in aquatic courting salamandrids and terrestrial courting plethodontids, two highly divergent salamander families. In the aquatic courting salamandrids Cynops pyrrhogaster and C. ensicauda, the decapeptide sodefrin is cleaved from a larger 189 amino acid Sodefrin Precursor Factor (SPF) protein and released from a gland...

Reproductive implications of parasitic infections and immune challenges in garter snakes

Creator:: Uhrig, Emily J.
Abstract:: Parasitic infections and immune challenges can affect host reproductive fitness and, ultimately, the evolution of host populations in a myriad of ways. The fitness implications of parasitic infections range from increased host mortality to subtle changes in reproductive investment. From alterations of behaviors, sexual signaling, and competitive ability to changes...

The role of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone in the neuroendocrine control of seasonal reproduction in male rough-skinned newts, Taricha granulosa

Creator:: Zoeller, Robert T.
Abstract:: One hypothesis proposed to explain how the endocrine system controls reproductive cycles in seasonally breeding animals is that the hypothalamus undergoes seasonal changes in sensitivity to negative feedback by gonadal steroids. The result is seasonal changes in the secretion of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) and gonadotropin secretion. The present experiments...

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...
