Creator:: Geber, Monica
Abstract:: I experimentally test the hypothesis that the potential for selfing increases with plant size in Mertensia ciliata (Boraginaceae), a self-compatible, profusely-flowering perennial. This follows from the premises that 1) pollen dispersal by pollinators between flowers is limited, and 2) individual pollinators, in this study bumblebees, will visit more flowers per...

Creator:: Taylor, H. Terry
Abstract:: In their modern context questions of heredity have come to be closely aligned with theories of evolution because all such theories require the presence of heritable variation.

Abstract:: Aspects of the life history and ecology of the intertidal turf-forming alga Rhodomela larix (Turner) C. Agardh were examined over a two year period at several sites on the Oregon coast. Rhodomela occurred over a broad tidal range and exhibited different growth and morphology characteristics with respect to tidal height....

Creator:: Shieh, Jong-Neng
Abstract:: I tested a theoretical model proposing that anemia favors transmission of blood-borne parasites to vectors by accelerating the blood-feeding rate. Using Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, initially, I was not able to confirm this phenomenon either in an artificial or a live system; anemia did not correlate with blood-feeding...
