Keeping A Flow Profile: The Fluid Dynamics and Biomechanics of Trilobite Genal Spines
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2012-08)Arthropods are well known for being extraordinarily diverse. Variation of form and niche-occupation in arthropods relies on specialized appendages and regionalization of a common bauplan. In the marine realm, ancient ... -
Kelp gametophyte recruitment in articulated coralline algae of the San Juan Islands
(2021)Kelp species dominate rocky intertidal communities in the Salish Sea and overlap in distribution with a diverse array of articulated coralline algal species. Little is known about the microscopic gametophyte phase of ... -

Kelp raft distribution and associated animal communities in San Juan channel
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2012-12)Nereocystis creates floating debris when broken from the bottom. With currents and wind this flotsam on occasion entangles to form a raft of Nereocystis. Rafting Nereocystis floats throughout the San Juan Islands channels. ... -
Latitudinal variation in the cold tolerance of the intertidal copepod Tigriopus californicus
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2012-10)Broadly distributed species may adapt to local temperature conditions such that isolated populations have different thermal tolerance ranges than the species as a whole. Therefore, to accurately predict how species’ ... -
Led Astray: Ascidian Larvae Preferentially Settle on Low-quality Sites with Resident Conspecifics
(2023)Colonial ascidians are abundant encrusting organisms on boat hulls, dock pilings and marinas worldwide. In the Salish Sea of northern Washington, U.S.A. and British Columbia, Canada, Botrylloides violaceus is an invasive, ... -
Light Intensity Variation of Kelp Gametophytes, Alaria marginata and Nereocystis luetkeana
(2019)Nereocystis luetkeana and Alaria marginata were raised from zoospores into young gametophytes under three different light intensities. A. marginata, a species only occurring at shallow depths, was collected at a light level ... -
Like Mother Like Daughter? Development Stages Over Time in the Hybrid Larvae of Dendraster excentricus and Strongylocentrotus purpuratus as Compared to Developmental Milestones of Both Parents
(2019)Hybridization in individuals can happen across varying levels of taxonomic relation; within species, genus, family, and orders in plants and animals. Although the more distinctly separate a relationship is between individuals ... -
Living with Wildlife: Human impact on wildlife and the role of education in the San Juan Islands, Washington
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2011-12)The San Juan Islands of Washington State are a unique habitat for both humans and wildlife. Although they are in close proximity to the urban cities of Seattle and Tacoma, these islands remain relatively rural and have ... -

Local temperature adaptation among populations of Tigriopus californicus along the North American west coast
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2011-12)Many current models predicting the effects of climate change assume species are homogenous across geographic distribution and life stage. However local adaptations may result in variable impacts of climate change across ... -

Local variation among rocky subtidal habitats in the San Juan Archipelago: are differences in community structure associated with small-scale changes in abiotic factors?
(2011)Previous studies have demonstrated that regional variation in community structure is largely driven by abiotic factors, but that these factors have less influence on community structure at smaller scales. We sought to ... -

Locomotory behavior of competent cyphonautes larvae in response to positive and negative cues in flow
(2019)Previous research has shown evidence of chemosensory behavioral responses in invertebrate larvae across species and using varying stimuli. Diverse exploratory behaviors in larval Membranipora spp. Cyphonautes on suitable ... -
Longshore Transport of Sediment in Freshwater Bay, West of Port Angeles
(2012)Using digital photographs, this study investigates sediment movement eastwards by the dominant northwest swell in Freshwater Bay, WA. Twenty samples were taken at five locations and analyzed with the Cobble cam analysis ... -
