Spatio-Temporal Analysis and Modeling in the Marine Environment : Humpback Whale Genetic Variability and Seabird Distributions in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Dick, Dorothy Marie
Abstract:: The rapid decline of marine ecosystems worldwide and the failure of traditional single species management pushed for the development of ecosystem-based conservation measures such as marine protected areas (MPA) to slow the loss of marine biodiversity. One approach to MPA creation advocates targeting marine megafauna (e.g., marine mammals, seabirds, sharks,...

Thermal Tolerance and Adaptation in Cnidarians: An Investigation of Host Transcriptomic Responses and Heritable Variation Across Natural Populations

Creator:: Dziedzic, Katherine E.
Abstract:: Coral reefs have become vulnerable to climate change, with mass bleaching events, the loss of symbiotic algae (Symbiodiniaceae), increasing in both frequency and severity. As climate change continues to threaten the persistence and existence of coral reefs around the world, the biggest question posed for coral reefs is “can they...

Environmental Variables and Gene Expression Profiles Associated with Cueing Reproductive Events in Cnidarians

Creator:: Crowder, Camerron M.
Abstract:: Coral reproduction is vital to the persistence of coral reefs. Decades of ecological studies have correlated environmental variables, such as temperature and light, to the timing of reproduction in anthozoan cnidarians, including corals and sea anemones. However, elevated temperatures associated with climate change impair reproductive success and threaten the resilience...

Evolutionary Insights into Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis from Natural Variation in Aiptasia Sea Anemones

Creator:: Bellis, Emily S.
Abstract:: Mutualistic associations between corals and symbiotic microalgae of the genus Symbiodium power tropical reef ecosystems, hotspots of marine biodiversity that buffer coastlines, support tourism- and fisheries-based economies, and offer untapped potential for discovery of novel pharmaceutical compounds. However, reef ecosystems are declining at an alarming rate, in large part due...

The gene-ecology of Crepis nana Richardson and Crepis elegans Hooker in Arctic and Alpine North America

Creator:: Legge, Allan Herbert, 1942-
Abstract:: A gene-ecological transplant study was made on populations of the Crepis nana and C. elegans complex from the Arctic and Alpine of North America. Transplants were collected from the Brooks Range, Eagle Summit, and Alaska Range in Alaska, the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, the Olympic Mountains in Washington, the Wallowa...

Education of American research astronomers, 1876-1941

Creator:: Hall, Robert Dale, 1947-
Abstract:: The education (particularly graduate education) of Americans who were active in astronomical research between 1876 and 1941 is assessed for its effectiveness in preparing the astronomers for careers in research. This period contains three dynamic changes: the growth of American astronomy in becoming the world's leading community of astronomers, the...

Genomic Resource Development and Studies of Thermal Tolerance in Symbiotic Cnidarians

Creator:: Elder, Holland L.
Abstract:: Reef building corals are the foundation of an entire ecosystem, but they are threatened primarily by rising ocean temperatures due to climate change. Corals depend on a thermally sensitive symbiosis with intracellular dinoflagellates. As oceans warm, this symbiosis is disrupted and results in coral mortality, declining populations and degraded reefs....

Land use policy and property value

Creator:: Grout, Cyrus A.
Abstract:: A plethora of land use policies are implemented at the local, state, and federal levels to influence the manner in which land is utilized. The distribution of the costs and benefits associated with implementing such land use policies always has been, and will continue to be, a source of contention....
