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,...

Full Text:: collecting mussels on several very early mornings. Mussel tissue temperatures were also measured by E

Creator:: Lidrich, Joseph Stanley
Abstract:: The pea crab Fabia subquadrata is frequently found as a symbiont of mussels, living within the mantle cavity. This study examined the nature of this symbiotic relationship by recording the pattern of distribution of individuals in a mussel bed, testing responsiveness to host secretions, and observing the feeding mechanics and...

Creator:: Toner, Miranda M.
Abstract:: Ocean acidification is negatively impacting organisms that use calcium carbonate to form their shells. Increasing OA conditions are putting a strain on these calcareous animals by weakening their shells, thus causing them to become more vulnerable to predation. Worsening shell integrity may lead to a decline in hard-shelled prey populations...

Full Text:: both types of mussel was also recorded. It was hypothesized that these crabs would eat a higher

Creator:: Brosnan, Deborah M.
Abstract:: Factors affecting the persistence of mussels (Mytilus californianus) and their associated epibiont species were studied along the central Oregon coast. Interactions between mussels and their algal epibionts (Endocladia muricata) varied in sign and strength with environmental conditions. In extreme temperatures mussel—epibiont interactions determined survival of individual mussels, and persistence of...

Creator:: Wolhowe, Matthew D.
Abstract:: A three-part study was conducted into the impact of physiological and ecological variables on the net isotopic fractionation of hydrogen, α[subscript K₃₇], expressed in C₃₇ alkenones. First, alkenone-producer production, abundance, and export were characterized in the summertime Gulf of California and Eastern Tropical North Pacific using compound-specific, labeled in situ...

Creator:: Rose, Jeremy M.
Abstract:: Ocean Acidification (OA) has emerged as a major threat to marine ecosystems, particularly regarding calcifying organisms. A growing body of literature describing laboratory investigations into pH stress indicates broadly deleterious effects for calcifiers, but responses vary greatly across taxa and can be influenced by variations in other environmental characteristics. Scaling...
