A Comparative Approach To Elucidating The Physiological Response In Symbiodinium To Changes In Temperature
McGinty, Elizabeth S. (Biology, 2014-03-10)Coral reefs are one of the most biodiverse ecosystems, and play a large role in the functioning of oceanic and coastal ecosystems. They are currently declining around the world, largely due to the effects of climate change ... -
Disease in a Changing Ocean: Ecoimmunological Approaches to Coral Reef Ecology
Fuess, Lauren Elizabeth; 0000-0003-0197-7326 (2018-04-26)Increasing prevalence of anthropogenic stressors and climate change have resulted in rapid increases in the incidence and severity marine disease affecting a number of vulnerable taxa. Cnidarians, including both reef-building ... -
Identifying the Distinct Adaptive and Plastic Gene Expression Patterns and Microbial Indicators that Mediate Coral Disease Resistance
Macknight, Nicholas James; 0000-0003-2244-9266 (2022-05-18)Infectious diseases are an increasing threat to coral reefs, resulting in altered community structure and hindering the functional contributions of disease susceptible species. While forecasting disease outbreaks based on ... -
Investigation Of Potential Virulence Factors In Pathogenic Marine Bacteria
Beach-Letendre, Joshuah Myron (Biology, 2014-09-17)Coral reefs provide numerous ecological and economic functions and are critical to biodiversity in marine environments. Critical to coral reef health and diversity is the microbial consortium within the coral host along ... -
Mechanisms Affecting Predation Success In Wolf Spiders
Steffenson, Matthew (Biology, 2014-09-17)Predator-prey interactions play a role in community structure through a variety of different mechanisms including direct consumption, density-mediated indirect effects, and trait-mediated indirect effects. Understanding ... -
The Cellular and Genetic Mechanisms of Stress Response Pathways in Caribbean Coral
Dimos, Bradford Austin (2021-12-08)Reef-building corals are in decline around the globe due to both the effects of increased ocean temperatures and the emergence of marine diseases which affect corals. These emerging issues threaten the continued persistence ...
