Do settling mussels (Mytilus spp.) prefer macroalgae over artificial substrates? : a test of collector preference along the Oregon Coast

Creator:

Howieson, John

Abstract:

This study investigated whether a device commonly used to measure settlement of mussel larvae for ecological studies, the Tuffy™, functions uniformly whether placed in a bed of filamentous algae or on bare rock. During the summers of 2004 and 2005, the number of mussel larvae settling on Tuffys in patches...

Dietary responses of marine predators to variable oceanographic conditions in the Northern California Current

Creator:

Gladics, Amanda J.

Abstract:

Variable ocean conditions can greatly impact lower trophic level prey assemblages in marine ecosystems, with effects propagating up to higher trophic levels. Our goal was to better understand how varying ocean conditions influence diets and niche overlap among a suite of low- to mid trophic level predators. We studied the...
