I have my notochord cells, but where did I leave my tail: A notochord gene expression analysis of tailed, tailless and hybrid Molgulids.
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2011-09)In the molgulid clade of ascidians several species have individually evolved tail loss during their larval stage of development. The notochord, one of the key features of chordates, is found in the center of the tail in ... -

(2013-12)The scope of this technical report is to establish the mechanisms by which the eastbound lanes of Interstate 82 at mile post (MP) 91.9 near Benton City continue to deform. Within the Washington State Department of ... -
Identification and Distribution of a Bone-eating Marine Worm (Annelida, Osedax)
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-08)Ephemeral reducing environments such as hydrothermal vents and whale falls create oases of chemosynthetic primary production in the nutrient poor deep sea. The polychaete family Siboglinidae has adapted to occupy these ... -

Identification and Distribution of Zooplankton in False Bay Estuary and Beaverton Cove, San Juan Island WA USA
(2021)Plankton form the base level food chain in all marine systems. Characterizing the diversity and abundance of plankton in a location can reveal the unique ecology of a system. Zooplankton were identified and enumerated in ... -
Identification and Expression of TGF-β Smads in the ctenophore Pleurobranchia bachei
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2013-06)The TGF-β superfamily of signaling pathways is key in regulating embryonic development (Heldin et al. 2009). It is known to be present in all metazoan lineages (Huminiecki 2009). Studying this pathway in the ctenophore ... -
Identification of bacterial species growing on aged Nereocystis luetkeana and Agarum fimbriatum. in the San Juan Channel
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2013-06)Do bacterial communities change as algae decays? If so, how does it change? Bacteria form many different types of relationships with algae and this study observed the effects of algal decay on bacterial abundance and ... -
Identifying a historic shoreline using fine-scale slope variation
(2013-06)[author abstract] A rise of just one meter of sea level rise could displace millions of people and cause billions of dollars of damage. This research identifies a historic submerged shoreline along the continental shelf ... -
Identifying and Monitoring Water Quality Needs for Puget Sound’s Aquaculture Industry and Environmental Security Through the Design and Use of a Prototype Sensor Suite
(2019)The impact of climate change on the environmental and economic security of marine resources has now entered the public and political discourse. The sectors of the marine industry that must make both short and long-term ... -
Identifying changes in activity level in Hemigrapsus nudus under daylight and night conditions
(2021)Mobile predators in the intertidal zone play a key role in the abundances and distributions of their prey. Hemigrapsus nudus is an ecological generalist found in the intertidal that primarily feeds on green algae. With ... -

The impact of contaminated pilings on nudibranchs at the docks of Friday Harbor
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-06)Docks in the Friday Harbor Island have been observed to have many nudibranchs present on them. One hypothesis for this is the creosote, a chemical used to help preserve the wood from wear, is attracting them to the pilings. ... -
