Amphipoda: Chapter 39 of The Light and Smith Manual: Intertidal Invertebrates from Central California to Oregon. Fourth Edition, Completely Revised and Expanded

Creator:: Chapman, John W.
Abstract:: The Amphipoda have been divided into the suborders Gammaridea, Caprellidea, Cyamidea, Hyperiidea and Ingolfiellidea (Schram 1986, Crustacea. Oxford University Press, New York). However, Myers and Lowry (2003) regard the caprellids, or skeleton shrimps, and the cyamids, or whale lice, as families Caprellidae and Cyamidae. These distinctive groups are covered in...

Biotic and abiotic factors influencing the bioavailability of sediment-associated phenanthrene to marine amphipods

Creator:: Fuji, Takashi, 1961-
Abstract:: The "equilibrium partitioning theory" is one of the most widely used models to evaluate the bioavailability of sediment-associated, nonpolar, organic contaminants and it makes specific assumptions regarding the factors that influence this bioavailability. The objective of this research was to test two assumptions of this theory: (1) that benthic organisms...

Oceanographic influences on rocky intertidal communities : coastal upwelling, invertebrate growth rates, and keystone predation

Creator:: Sanford, Eric (Eric David)
Abstract:: The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...

Linking marine communities and ecosystems : invertebrates mediate nutrient availability in intertidal communities

Creator:: Bracken, Matthew E.
Abstract:: While community ecologists have traditionally focused on local-scale processes, it has become apparent that a broader perspective, which explores the community-level ramifications of material fluxes within and between ecosystems, is necessary to effectively evaluate bottom-up influences on community structure and dynamics. In this dissertation, I employed ecosystem principles to understand...

Macroscale to local scale variation in rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics in relation to coastal upwelling

Creator:: Freidenburg, Tess L.
Abstract:: Understanding how large-scale processes (>100 kms) influence ecological communities is currently a major focus in ecology. In marine systems, coastal upwelling, a large-scale oceanographic process in which surface water pushed offshore by winds is replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water from depth, appears to cause variation in rocky intertidal communities. Along...

Phytoplankton shading of marine benthic macrophytes: Implications for intertidal community structure

Creator:: Kavanaugh, Maria T.
Abstract:: Previous observations of light levels and phytoplankton abundances along the Oregon coast demonstrated that phytoplankton attenuated light sufficiently to potentially limit the growth of intertidal macrophytes and therefore structure local intertidal communities. Inspired by this observation, in spring 2004, I initiated a study to quantify the direct and indirect benthic...

Untangling the complexity of nearshore ecosystems : examining issues of scaling and variability in benthic communities

Creator:: Schoch, G. Carl
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to improve our understanding of how changes in the environment affect ecological processes. Change detection is often confounded by the large variation found in ecological data due to the difficulty of finding replicates in nature. Intertidal communities were chosen for studies of biophysical interactions...

Bottom-up and top-down forces in tidepools : the influence of nutrients, herbivores, and wave exposure on community structure

Creator:: Nielsen, Karina Johanna
Abstract:: The relationship between nutrients and community structure is poorly understood in open-coast habitats. I created a system of artificial tidepools, of identical age and physical dimensions, at two sites that differed in wave exposure, and manipulated nutrient levels and the abundance of herbivores. Using these unique field mesocosms, I explored...

The roles of nutrient dynamics, oceanography, and light in the structure and functioning of rocky intertidal macrophyte assemblages

Creator:: Close, Sarah L.
Abstract:: The influence of the physical environment on organisms has long been a subject of ecological research. But, the complex drivers of environmental variation, and the multiple scales at which this can occur, make studying this topic a difficult challenge. In rocky intertidal habitats, oceanographic- and climate-scale variability influence benthic communities...
