  • Ecophysiology of Marine Bivalves : Physiological Rate Processes in Dynamic Environments

    Creator:
    Gray, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Marine bivalves are globally recognized as ecologically and commercially valuable species and, for over a century, researchers have been studying their feeding, digestion and other related physiological processes. These studies have shown that marine bivalves have complex feeding and particle processing behaviors to maximize growth in dynamic environmental conditions. Additionally,...

  • Eelgrass-macroalgae interactions; context-dependency in upwelling-influenced estuaries

    Creator:
    Hessing-Lewis, Margot
    Abstract:
    This dissertation investigates the context-dependency of species interactions between seagrass and macroalgae in upwelling-influenced estuaries. In all coastal systems, nutrient loading is multidirectional, resulting from mostly freshwater and marine inputs. The directionality of nutrient inputs may affect the rate of supply of organic matter to the system. In systems where...
