Abstract:: Field and laboratory observations of feeding by invasive Pacific red lionfish Pterois volitans were conducted during June through August of 2008, 2009 and 2010 near Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas. Observations of this invasive marine predator revealed a previously undocumented piscivorous behavior. While slowly approaching prey fish, lionfish produce jets of...

Abstract:: We report the development of a numerical model simulating vertical movement of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium spp. Given a range of physiological parameters derived from the literature, resultant model solutions allow us to explore the ecological significance of vertical migration by Trichodesmium colonies in a stratified oligotrophic oceanic system such as...

Abstract:: ABSTRACT: Sedimentary habitats are complex associations of biotic, chemical, and physical processes comprising ‘ecosystem function’. The relative importance of these processes to biogeochemical cycling in highly reactive, permeable sediments remains poorly understood. We report results from several field experiments in a muddy-sand intertidal flat dominated by 2 functionally different types...

Abstract:: Despite the importance of the spring phytoplankton bloom off Oregon as a food source for zooplankton, little is known about the sources of phytoplankton seed stock for the bloom or its timing. Experiments were conducted in the late winter to determine if the benthic boundary layer (BBL) could be a...

Creator:: Fujita, Rodney M., Wheeler, Patricia A., and Edwards, Robert L.
Abstract:: The relationship between nitrogen (N) availability and the growth of macroalgae in a seasonal upwelling region (Yaquina Head, Oregon, USA) was investigated. Water column nutrient concentrations were relatively high and stable during the winter, decreased in early spring, and were highly variable in the summer and early fall. Periods of...

Creator:: Miller, Charles B. and Tande, Kurt S.
Abstract:: Population dynamics of Calanus finmarchicus have been modelled using very finely divided representation of the stock according to age-within-stage, in the manner of models developed by C. S. Davis, A. Sciandra, F. Carlotti and others. A key assumption of the model is that development rate is relatively insensitive to food-limitation,...

Abstract:: Phytoplankton biomass in high-nitrate, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) ocean regions exhibits a pronounced stability: variation occurs only within a narrow range of values. The magnitude of this variation has profound ecological and geochemical consequences. While mechanisms believed to set the upper limits to HNLC phytoplankton biomass (iron limitation, microherbivore grazing) have received...

Abstract:: Ocean acidification (OA) has had significant negative effects on oyster populations on the west coast of North America over the past decade. Many studies have focused on the physiological challenges experienced by young oyster larvae in high pCO₂/low pH seawater with reduced aragonite saturation state (Ωarag), which is characteristic of...

Abstract:: Prior studies have demonstrated that juvenile walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma forage socially in schools for spatially and temporally clumped food, but forage more independently for spatially and temporally dispersed food. One advantage of social foraging is that fish in schools may be able to locate more food clumps than fish...

Abstract:: The link between anthropogenic nutrient loads and the magnitude and extent of diatom and Phaeocystis colony blooms in the Southern Bight of the North Sea was explored with the complex ecosystem model MIRO. The model was adapted for resolving the changing nutrient loads, the complex biology of the bloom species...
