A Tail of Two Sexes: Sexual Disparity in Brachyuran Crustaceans and Its Impact on Arthropod Trunk Evolution
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2012-07)Arthropods are well known for being rampantly speciose. Variation of form and nicheoccupation in arthropods relies on specialized appendages and regionalization of a common bauplan. The specialization of particular body ... -
Taking turns: some aspects of behavioural lateralization in schooling fish
(2011)Lateralization of cognitive functions seems to be exceptionally widespread in nature and have been demonstrated to occur in multiple taxa. Previous studies using fish as models have suggested that social behaviours such ... -

Tale of Two Cities: The relationship of density and morphology varies among populations of the maritime earwig Anisolabis maritima
(2017)For organisms that live in groups, the spatial distribution of individuals according to size and sex can provide insight into social interactions, including aggression (intrasexual selection for armaments) and mating ... -
A Tale of Two Tide Pools: Examining Carbonate Chemistry in the Intertidal
(2011)Characterization of physical conditions in tide pools is quite common in the scientific literature, but there is a marked paucity of information regarding the carbonate chemistry of these ecosystems; the majority of studies ... -

THE TALE OF TWO TIDEPOOLS: EXAMINING CARBONATE CHEMISTRY IN THE INTERTIDAL
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2011-07)Tidepools are a prominent feature of the intertidal zone, housing a great diversity of both macroalgae and mobile animal components. Tidepool organisms are exposed to wide variations in temperature, salinity, and pH over ... -

Temperature Accelerates Growth of Pisaster ochraceus Larvae
(2023)Ocean temperatures are slowly increasing as a result of climate change. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of rising temperatures on growth and development of Pisaster ochraceus larvae. Larvae were kept ... -
Temperature and flow effects on mussel gaping behavior
(2023)Anthropogenic induced thermal stress is a major driver of change, specifically within marine coastal ecosystems. Mussel beds provide important structures and chemical functions to surround marine ecosystem. Mussel behavior ... -
Temperature and salinity effects on the growth of Alaria marginata
(2022-05)With current projections of worsening climate conditions, it is important to determine how nearshore kelps (Order Laminariales) will be affected. It has been documented that increased ocean temperature leads to kelp ... -
Temperature effects on byssal thread production in the mussel, Mytilus trossulus
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2012-12)Mussels attach themselves to hard substrates by extruding thin, strong, and flexible hair- like attachments known as byssal threads, which are anchored in place with small adhesive plaques. While many studies have examined ... -
Temperature Effects on Growth of Alaria marginata, Saccharina latissima, and Costaria costata
(2021)To understand the long-term effects of climate change, it is essential to understand the short-term effects influenced by abiotic factors such as temperature. My study serves as a step towards understanding the effects ... -
Temperature Effects on the Feeding Activity of Marine Bryozoans Membranipora membranacea and Dendrobeania lichenoides
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2012-07)Climate change can have a gradual affect on organism interactions gradually in the marine ecosystem which varies in many factors such as temperature. Temperature can alter the feeding habits of marine invertebrates such ... -
Temporal Changes in the Upper/Lower Limits of Fucus and Endocladia at Cattle Point, San Juan Island
(2023)Increases in global and seawater temperatures are a rising concern for communities across the planet. Over the last 20 years, the scientific community has taken great interest in climate change, and attempted to analyze ... -
Testing relationships of a new form of boring bivalve: the interesting kind
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-08)Sunken wood in marine environments supports a diverse community, the stars of the show being the wood-boring bivalves. Shallow versus deep-sea woodfalls tend to only attract bivalves from one of two clades; Teredinidae ... -

Tethering as a method for evaluating shrimp predation by San Juan Island rockfish (Sebastes spp.)
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2012-12)Trophic cascades have been shown to completely alter marine communities, especially after the collapse of an important fishery. It is therefore important to understand trophic relationships between marine organisms in order ... -
Tethering Pandalus danae as a Method for Observing Predator Prey Interactions in the San Juan Islands
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2012-12)Predator prey interactions, specifically predation acts, were observed and recorded to better understand trophic level interactions and community ecology in the San Juan Islands. We looked at predation between Pandalus ... -
These Dead Fish Really Suck: Adhesion Performance of the Northern Clingfish
(Friday Harbor Labs, 2011-09)The ray-finned fish family Gobiesocidae includes over 100 species of fish that are commonly known as clingfish (Fishbase). These aptly named clingfish posses modified pelvic fins that are fused into a biological suction ...
