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:...

Ethnic minorities' leisure-time physical activity in the context of acculturation

Creator:: Lee, Hyo
Abstract:: Eliminating physical activity disparities among ethnic minorities in the U.S. is important. Cultural differences have been found to be plausible contributing factors associated with such disparities. Therefore it is important to investigate and understand the mechanisms by which diverse aspects of cultural experiences affect physical activity participation among ethnic minorities,...

Assessing Lateralization Models in Emotion Perception: The Impact of Emotion, Perceptual Process, and Experimental Paradigm on Visual Field Bias

Creator:: Robles, Rafael
Abstract:: There are currently three main models used to describe the pattern of hemispheric specialization (i.e., lateralization) for emotion perception: the right hemisphere hypothesis, the valence model, and the motivational model. Although evidence exists in support of all three, the variation between each pattern of results may be due to differences...

Turbulence and biophysical fluxes in the near surface ocean

Creator:: Hoecker-Martínez, Martín
Abstract:: Vertical transports of plankton, momentum, heat, and turbulence are modeled. A novel integration of high resolution turbulence and biophysical modeling is used to show the influence of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the vertical migration of simple gyrotactic organisms. A viscous limit on mixing driven by shear turbulence is proposed. Large...

Adaptive Potential of Coastal Invertebrates to Environmental Stressors and Climate Change

Creator:: Burton, Andrea R.
Abstract:: Climate change presents multiple stressors that are impacting marine life. As carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase in the atmosphere, atmospheric and sea water temperatures increase. In addition, more carbon dioxide is absorbed into the oceans, reducing pH and aragonite saturation state, resulting in ocean acidification (OA). Tightly coupled with...

Abstract:: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a re-emerging class of environmental pollutants. The persistent nature of these highly toxic compounds along with their ubiquity in the environment creates an unavoidable route of exposure. The developing fetus and neonate are a particularly susceptible population due to their incomplete complement of xenobiotic metabolizing...

Abstract:: The size, shape, and stability of a species’ dietary niche can both influence and reflect a variety of biological patterns, including species interactions, extinction risk, and ecosystem function. This is particularly apparent when dietary changes manifest at ecosystem and clade scales to profoundly affect macroecological and macroevolutionary trajectories. However, many...
