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...

Her hair is an open hand

Creator:: Olson, Rebecca (Rebecca Jean)
Abstract:: Her Hair is an Open Hand is a collection of free verse poems exploring unity and division through the lens of myth and place. The collection is organized into three sections. The first reflects on division: alienation between the speaker and physical landscapes, isolation within romantic relationships, and the violation...

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...

RINs and biofuel mandates : comparing ethanol and biodiesel markets

Creator:: Ainsworth, Joel H.
Abstract:: The United States Congress set out to increase the blending of biofuels by updating and implementing the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) in 2007. The new mandate required that a combination of 36 billion gallons of ethanol, biodiesel, and cellulosic biofuel be blended annually, by 2022. To offset the cost of...

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....

Lift Enhancement of Pliant Wings Through Bio-Mimicry

Creator:: Osterberg, Nathaniel Brent
Abstract:: Flexible aerodynamic surfaces have been shown to favorably influence flight characteristics at low Reynolds numbers by increasing lift, angle of attack at stall, and resistance to perturbation. The objective of the research presented within this thesis is to investigate the influence of two aspects of flight observed in biological flyers,...
