Molecular investigation of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis and the identification of genes differentially expressed during bleaching in the coral Montipora capitata

Creator:: Hauck, Laura L.
Abstract:: Cnidarians, such as anemones and corals, engage in an intracellular symbiosis with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Corals form both the trophic and structural foundation of reef ecosystems. Despite their environmental importance, little is known about the molecular basis of this symbiosis. In this dissertation we explored the cnidariandinoflagellate symbiosis from two perspectives:...

Effects of environmental stress on intertidal mussel reproduction

Creator:: Petes, Laura E.
Abstract:: Environmental stress can negatively affect the ability of organisms to reproduce. Energetic trade-offs exist in all organisms, and under stress, energy may be allocated away from reproduction and towards physiological defense and repair mechanisms. The rocky intertidal environment is ideal for investigating the influence of environmental stress, as organisms are...

The effects of multiple pathogens on amphibians in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Romansic, John M.
Abstract:: The earth is undergoing a “biodiversity crisis” characterized by loss of populations, species, genetic diversity, and ecosystem services. Part of this crisis consists of population declines, extinctions, and increased incidence of deformities in amphibians. It is unknown whether deformities contribute to these declines. Many cases of population declines in amphibians...

Initiation of coral/algal symbioses : the role of cell surface lectin/glycan interactions in recognition and specificity

Creator:: Wood-Charlson, Elisha M.
Abstract:: Mutualistic associations between cnidarians, such as corals, and photosynthetic dinoflagellate algae provide the trophic and structural foundation of coral reef ecosystems. In many cases, this intracellular mutualism is highly specific and must be established anew for each generation of host corals. The ability to maintain partner specificity across generations implies...

The effects of community composition, landscape structure, and climate on host-pathogen interactions

Creator:: Moore, Sean M.
Abstract:: Like other species interactions in ecological systems, host-pathogen interactions are influenced by environmental factors, landscape characteristics and the broader community context. My thesis explores the potential influences of food-web interactions (Chapter 2), climate change (Chapter 3), landscape structure and host movement patterns (Chapter 4), and the combined influences of local...

Identification and characterization of vasotocin and mesotocin peptides and receptors

Creator:: Searcy, Brian T.
Abstract:: The neurohypophysial peptide system is involved in modulating a variety of physiological, neurological, and behavioral responses in vertebrates. The principal forms of these peptides in non-mammalian tetrapods are vasotocin (VT) and mesotocin (MT). The studies described in this thesis used pharmacological, molecular, and biochemical techniques, along with phylogenetic analyses, to...

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...
