The impact of microclimate variation on budburst phenology within a mature Douglas-fir tree (Pseudostuga menziesii)

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Budburst, the initiation of annual growth in plants, is sensitive to climate variation and is therefore used to monitor physiological responses to climate change. Budburst timing can vary between regions of an individual tree, but this phenomenon it is unaccounted for in current monitoring efforts and may contribute to the...

Characterizing the role of organic compounds in development and symbiosis establishment in Exaiptasia diaphana

Creator:: Rice, Lily A.
Abstract:: Nutrients play a large role in sustaining the symbiotic relationship between the algae and host sea anemone. The endosymbiotic algae provides the host with fixed nitrogen, sugars, and inorganic food sources, while the host provides the algae with shelter and nitrogenous waste. If the anemone does not receive the proper...

Changes in coral reef symbiont density during acclimation and stress

Creator:: Ton, Hayden, Dziedzic, Katherine, and Meyer, Eli
Abstract:: Coral reefs have become extremely vulnerable to rising ocean temperatures, with mass bleaching events increasing in frequency and severity. If bleaching events persist annually, models predict that more than 90% of reef species will face long-term degradation. However, recent evidence has shown that corals may be able to thermally acclimate...

Spatial and vertical distribution of the invasive European green crab, Carcinus maenas, in a temperate estuarine system

Creator:: Lundeberg, Christopher A. and Weldon, Taylor
Abstract:: Carcinus maenas is an invasive marine predator. Its generalist feeding strategies make it one of the most effective invaders. Carcinus maenas has invasive populations throughout the world, and was recently introduced to the west coast of North America. This study looks at the abundance and growth of C. maenas in...

Tracking the Changes: An Exploration of Ecological Succession in Rocky Intertidal Communities

Creator:: Anderson, Roy K., Bachhuber, Silke M., Poirson, Brittany N., and Menge, Bruce A.
Abstract:: The rocky shores of the US West Coast are home to diverse ecological communities made up of species that are uniquely adapted for survival at the harsh boundary between land and sea. Even so, physical or environmental stressors regularly kill swaths of animals on the rocks. This is called disturbance....

Spatial and vertical distribution of the invasive European green crab in a temperate estuarine system

Creator:: Lundeberg, Christopher A. and Weldon, Taylor
Abstract:: The European green crab, Carcinus maenas, is a generalist predator that has established invasive populations throughout the world, including the west coast of North America. In Oregon, strong cohorts of green crabs recruit only during major El Niño events. The goals of this study are to: 1) compare the abundance...

Ocean acidification is causing increased predation on Mytilus californianus by specialist and generalist crabs

Creator:: Toner, Miranda M.
Abstract:: Ocean acidification is negatively impacting organisms that use calcium carbonate to form their shells. Increasing OA conditions are putting a strain on these calcareous animals by weakening their shells, thus causing them to become more vulnerable to predation. Worsening shell integrity may lead to a decline in hard-shelled prey populations...

Coralline and fleshy algae volume density on epifaunal communities

Creator:: Field, Samuel J. and Gani, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Carbon dioxide emissions greatly affect the carbon chemistry mechanisms within the ocean. Carbon absorbed by the ocean, drops the pH level and creates an environment that is acidic. Acidic conditions prevent calcification mechanisms in coralline algae, and hinder their ability to establish within the intertidal. Coralline algae display structural relevance...

Behavioral and physiological response to immune challenge in T.s. parietalis

Creator:: Schulden, Stephanie, Blakemore, Leslie, and Mason, Robert
Abstract:: Fever responses to an immune challenge have been studied in endothermic creatures, but studies of the equivalence is lacking in ectotherms. In this study, heterophil counts were shown to be significantly higher in individuals immune challenged with LPS when compared to a control group. This is indicative of an innate...
