Dixy Lee Ray, marine biology, and the public understanding of science in the United States (1930-1970)

Creator:: Ellis, Erik
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...

Candidate Causes, Consequences, and Estimation of Individual Diet Specialization

Creator:: Coblentz, Kyle E.
Abstract:: Diet variation among individuals within populations is widespread. Often diet differences among individuals are attributable to obvious differences among individuals such as age, sex, or morphology. However, growing evidence suggests that individual diet variation is also common among seemingly identical individuals within populations. This phenomenon has been termed individual diet...

Analysis of threats to Galápagos Marine Iguanas (Amblyrhynchus cristatus)

Creator:: Spangler, Sarah Elizabeth
Abstract:: Galápagos marine iguana population sizes have been declining since first contact with humans.This decline has historically been attributed mainly to predation by invasive species, but additional human-caused threats exist today. My thesis conducts an analysis of the present threats to the species and determines which are the most severe.Modern threats...

Proteomic analyses of marine bacteria

Creator:: Sowell, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Proteins are the metabolic machines of the cell and as such, the study of proteins could illuminate the dominant biological activities that are occurring within cells and reveal how an organism interacts with its environment. Here, we used proteomic techniques to study the abundant marine bacterium SAR11 both as an...

Plankton food web dynamics and larval fish success : influence of prey and predator distributions on larval fish diet, growth, and assemblages in the Straits of Florida

Creator:: Gleiber, Miram R.
Abstract:: Survival of marine fishes during their early life history stage is tightly related to prey availability and predation pressure. Yet, our understanding of how individual larvae to entire assemblages are constrained by these factors is limited. We integrated biological sampling of larval fishes with fine-scale in situ imaging to relate...

Influence of Regional Oceanography on the Distributions, Trophic Interactions, Growth, and Survival of the Early Life History Stages of Fishes

Creator:: Swieca, Kelsey
Abstract:: Most marine fishes experience high rates of mortality during their early life history stages with far reaching consequences for adult population dynamics. Within a few weeks of hatching, relatively small changes in larval growth and mortality rates can lead to orders of magnitude variability in year-class strength. Growth and survival...

Marine algal secondary metabolites of unique structure and biomedicinal or agrichemical potential

Creator:: Milligan, Kenneth Edward
Abstract:: This thesis describes investigations of marine algal secondary metabolites, with particular interest in their biomedical and agrichemical potential. Invaluable in such pursuits have been the access and application of advanced spectroscopic techniques, such as NMR, and the ability to assess the biological activity of the algal samples in a variety...

Larval dispersal in marine fishes: novel methods reveal patterns of self-recruitment and population connectivity

Creator:: Christie, Mark R.
Abstract:: Many marine fish populations are severely declining due to over-fishing, loss of both juvenile and adult habitats, and accelerating environmental degradation. Fisheries management and the implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs) and other conservation tools are currently hindered by large gaps in knowledge about larval dispersal and its subsequent effects...

Effects of Predator Introductions on Population and Community Dynamics

Creator:: Ingeman, Kurt E.
Abstract:: There is increasing awareness that human activities are altering the ways that natural systems operate and that local shifts in species composition and abundance can lead to abrupt and irreversible global change. Therefore, understanding the processes that buffer biological communities from critical shifts and how our actions affect natural stabilizing...

New perspectives in archosaur biology

Creator:: Harwell, Amy E.
Abstract:: The respiratory and metabolic biology of dinosaurs is poorly, if at all, reflected in the fossil record. By comparing anatomical features of modern taxa that are functionally linked to specific biology with the remains of theropod dinosaurs (Archosauria: Theropoda) and early birds, we may reasonably infer the physiology of long...
