Abstract:: Pseudoloma neurophilia is the most common pathogen reported in zebrafish (Danio rerio) research facilities and is an important threat to the zebrafish model. This microsporidian parasite can cause clinical disease, but more importantly is a causative agent of non-protocol induced variation in research. Studies utilizing infected zebrafish, could potentially confound...

Abstract:: Factors influencing pesticide susceptibility and resistance were studied in Psylla pyricola Foerster, and its mirid predator, Deraeocoris brevis Knight in the Rogue River Valley, Oregon. Factors studied were at the biochemical, life history, and population ecology levels. Studies on detoxification enzymes showed that glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase activities...

Creator:: Tyburczy, Joe A.
Abstract:: Recruitment of larvae from the plankton is an important determinant of community structure in marine systems. In populations of many marine species, recruitment determines the basic demographic parameters of immigration, emigration, and reproduction. Moreover, the effect of recruitment as an "ecological subsidy" can determine the strength of interactions among species...

Creator:: Sanford, Eric (Eric David)
Abstract:: The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...
