Metabolic adaptations of the marine gastropod Thais emarginata

Creator:: Sweat, Sister Jean
Abstract:: Thais emarginata is a gastropod which inhabits the midlittoral zone of the intertidal region. Oxygen consumption of high-level and low-level organisms was determined at various seasons of the year over an experimental temperature range of 5 to 20° C. No significant difference in respiratory rate between separate populations of high-level...

Experimental taxonomy, 1930-1950 : the impact of cytology, ecology, and genetics on ideas of biological classification

Creator:: Hagen, Joel Bartholemew
Abstract:: During the years between 1930 and 1950 a number of attempts were made to introduce techniques and ideas from cytology, ecology, and genetics into the field of taxonomy. Advocates of this "experimental taxonomy" believed that cytological, ecological, and genetic techniques would provide a rigorous, objective methodology to replace the traditional...

Ecological aspects of kin discriminating behavior with implications of functional value

Creator:: Hokit, D. Grant
Abstract:: To assess the context dependence of kin discriminating behavior, I examined kin-biased aggregation behavior in tadpoles of R. cascadae in different ecological conditions. I manipulated food distribution, predator presence, thermal heterogeneity, and relatedness in a multifactorial mesocosm experiment. All four factors interacted to influence tadpole dispersion. My results suggest that...

Evolution and risk in conservation of Pacific salmon

Creator:: Currens, Kenneth P.
Abstract:: Identifying appropriate units for conservation requires knowledge of evolutionary patterns and risks of managing at different geographical and genetic scales. I examined genetic diversity at different geographical scales among 11,400 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from 243 locations in 13 major river basins throughout much of their range and among coho...

Influence of marine environment on age and size at maturity, growth, and abundance of chum salmon, Ohcorhynchus keta (Walbaum), from Olsen Creek, Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Helle, John H.
Abstract:: Effects of the marine environment on age and size at maturity, early marine growth, and abundance of chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, were studied at Olsen Creek during 1959-77. Chum salmon returned to Olsen Creek as predominately 3-, 4-, and 5-year fish; however, age composition varied from year to year. The...

Responses of forest understory plants to burial by volcanic tephra from Mount St. Helens, Washington

Creator:: Antos, Joseph A.
Abstract:: The effects of burial by tephra (volcanic aerial ejecta) on forest understory plants were examined northeast of Mount St. Helens, Washington, in the area where the 18 May 1980 eruption deposited tephra but did not destroy canopy trees. At six sites along a tephra depth gradient from 2-15 cm, understory...
