Bacteria Abundance in Response to Increasingly Acidic Conditions
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2012-06)Global warming is a worldwide phenomenon that is the result of anthropogenic input of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Although the increase in carbon dioxide levels now is 100 times faster than at the end of the last ... -
Bacteria Abundance in Response to Increasingly Acidic Conditions
(2012)The objective of this mesocosm experiment is to determine differences in bacteria abundance in normal (600μatm), medium (1000μatm), and high (1300μatm) CO2 concentrations. Mesocosms serve as an intermediate for lab and ... -
Bacterial abundances and their relationship to iron around the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
(2006-03)In an attempt to characterize the influence of an iron source on bacteria around the Galapagos Islands, bacteria were sampled at the surface and at four different depths from the R/V Thomas G. Thompson during 13-15 January ... -
Bacterial Biomass along the Kuroshio Extension
(2013-06)[author abstract] Bacteria are essential for the remineralization of nutrients in the ocean between different energy levels. Therefore, understanding what control bacterial abundance in the ocean is important. This ... -
Bacterial growth rates and bacterivory around the Galápagos Islands
(2006-03)The equatorial Pacific is an HNLC (high-nitrate, low chlorophyll) region, with the exception of the area around the Galápagos Islands, where there is commonly a relatively large standing stock of phytoplankton. In this ... -
Bacterioplankton community structure and enzymatic activity in Barkley Sound, Canada, and its response to a simulated diatom bloom
(2010-05)This study examined the bacterioplankton community dynamics in Barkley Sound, located on Vancouver Island Canada, and the extent to which the community structure would change with the occurrence of a simulated diatom bloom. ... -
Bad Girls: The Role of the “Mala” in Ancient Greek and Roman Literature
(University of Washington Libraries, 2014)The figure of the mala or “bad woman” is present in much of Ancient Greek and Latin literature. In this context, being a mala means being a woman who participates in the process where an older woman advises a ... -
Balancing Cooperation and Competition: A New in Era in U.S.-China Relations
(2016)The dyadic pairing of the United States and China has emerged as the most important bilateral relationship of the twenty-first century. While the U.S. continues to dominate the post-Cold War world order as sole superpower, ... -
Barriers: An analysis of the use of safer sex methods in the queer community
(2005-05-11)Women who have sex with women are at risk for sexually transmitted infections. Often these communities fail to practice safer sex, due to a lack of education about potential risks. Safer sex education targeted to queer ... -
Bathymetry of Eruptive Fissures in the Submarine North Arch Volcanic Field
(2022)Submarine volcanoes make up 75% of volcanic activity on Earth, but are relatively understudied due to the lack of real-time observations of eruptions and their inaccessibility, often several kilometers below sea level. ... -
Battle of the Filter Feeders: Bacterial Transmission in the Presence of Ascidians
(University of Washington Libraries, 2017)Marine diseases are a major cost to fisheries and aquaculture industries, and as we continuously rely on marine organisms for protein, we increase our interaction with illnesses like gastroenteritis from undercooked oysters. ... -
Beach morphology and grain-size changes over short timescales at the Elwha River Delta, WA
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2013-06)The Elwha River dam removal project is the largest such project carried out in the U.S., and offers a unique opportunity to study the effects of a sudden sediment flux from the river to the coastal environment. A huge ... -
Beach Wrack Nutrient Leaching and Community Composition on Gravel Beaches
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-12)Beaches world-‐wide have low primary production due to a stressful environment and action of strong hydrodynamic forces. For this reason, input from marine wrack as well as terrestrial debris is an important source of ... -
Behavior analysis of oithona in hypoxic/anoxic conditions
(2016-06)[author abstract] Oithona, one of the most abundant and ecological important copepods found in the oceans, is considered to be the base of many food chains. Hypoxia- defined as dissolved oxygen levels below 2.0 mL- has ... -
Behavior and distribution of Phoca vitulina and Eumatopias jubatus in the San Juan Archipelago
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2011-09)Changes in tidal patterns affect the prey composition of the two most common pinnipeds in the San Juan Channel, the harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) and Steller sea lion (Eumatopias jubatus).Tidal influences are therefore ... -
Behavioral and neural activity during magnetic stimulation of Tritonia tetraquetra imply conditional magnetotactic response
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-08-30)A variety of species are known to sense and respond to the geomagnetic field for navigation. The sea slug Tritonia tetraquetra (a.k.a. Tritonia diomedea) has been shown to respond to the magnetic field through both ... -

(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-08)A variety of species are known to sense and respond to the geomagnetic field for navigation. The sea slug Tritonia tetraquetra (a.k.a. Tritonia diomedea) has been shown to respond to the magnetic field through both ... -
Bent out of shape: Bioinspired vertebral column morphology and mechanics
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2013-12)The vertebral column plays an essential role in body stiffness and swimming. Greater body stiffness results in greater mechanical outputs from the body on the environment. Previous work in bioinspired systems has shown ... -
Benthic community assemblages in the San Juan Islands: Do abiotic factors influence community composition at small spatial scales?
(2011)There are many factors contributing to the composition of biological communities in coastal marine habitats worldwide. Operating over large regional spatial scales, abiotic variables such as temperature and oceanic current ... -
Benthic Macrofauna Abundance Along a Transect from False Bay, San Juan Island
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-08)Benthic macrofauna are a diverse group of organisms found in both deep-sea and shallow-water systems. Understanding the influence of biotic and abiotic factors in shallow-water systems can translate to further understanding ...
