FA signatures of the diatom Skeletonema cf. marinoi: just how natural is culturing anyway?
(2012)Spatial subsidies including particulate organic matter (POM) play an important role in near-shore food web ecology. Fatty acid (FA) analysis has proven an effective tool for constructing these food webs, although the FA ... -

(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2012-06)Spatial subsidies including particulate organic matter (POM) play an important role in near-shore food web ecology. Fatty acid (FA) analysis has proven an effective tool for constructing these food webs, although the FA ... -
Facebook's 8 Fundamental Hooks and 6 Basic User Types: A Psychographic Segmentation
(University of Washington Department of Communication, 10/11/2012)Understanding the different types of Facebook users is the first step to effectively communicating with them and providing appropriate features. Psychographic segmentation is a statistical procedure that first identifies ... -
Facing Climate Change: The Case of the Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea)
(University of Washington Libraries, 2021-05)Arctic seabird populations have been on the decline in recent decades, yet a clear cause has not been identified. The Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) provides a unique opportunity for evaluating the potential of climate-related ... -
Factors Affecting "Fight or Flight" and "Tend or Befriend" Responses to Stress
(2005-07-06)For decades research with animals and humans has suggested that the “fight or flight” response is essential to dealing with stress. New research posits that gender issues may influence the stress response. Recently Taylor ... -
Factors affecting San Juan Channel and Puget Sound water properties during fall 2014
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-12)Estuarine density gradient circulation patterns depend on seasonal and tidal temperature and salinity shifts. Changes to these properties affect the residence time and flushing of each fjord-like basin. Abnormal temperature ... -
Factors Influencing Morphology of Four Jointed Basalt Scarps in Southwest Iceland
(2018-03)This study focuses on detailed description and comparison of morphology and traits of fault scarps in jointed basaltic bedrock in Iceland. I predict that intact rock quality has a greater impact on scarp morphology than ... -
Factors influencing phytoplankton and dissolved oxygen in San Juan Channel: a spatial and temporal assessment
(2011)The purpose of study was to investigate how physical and biological factors influence phytoplankton and dissolved oxygen spatially and temporally in San Juan Channel over fall and the annual cycle of 2011. Specific ... -

(Friday Harbor Labs, 2011-12)The purpose of study was to investigate how physical and biological factors influence phytoplankton and dissolved oxygen spatially and temporally in San Juan Channel over fall and the annual cycle of 2011. Specific objectives ... -
Factors influencing women's decisions to seek Pap smear testing
(2005-09-01)The Pap smear has become an effective and commonly adopted screening tool for cervical cell abnormalities, and for the presence of the Human Papillomavirus, which may lead to increased risk of cervical cancer. While ... -
The Failures of Consent: How the (En)gendering of Sexual Scripts and Desire within Consensual Sex Preserves Rape Culture within the University
(2016-08)The epidemic of sexual assault on American university campuses that was first acknowledged by Mary P. Koss in 1987 has resulted in the centering of consent as a key way of distinguishing between acceptable, normal sex and ... -
False Bay Creek Water Flow
(2021)The False Bay Creek watershed on San Juan Island, WA, USA supplies freshwater for wells used by residents, drinking water for the city of Friday Harbor and water for agriculture and ranching in the lower watershed. On a ... -
The fate of biologically produced methane in an anoxic fjord in British Columbia
(2013-06)[author abstract] An increase of methane gas in the atmosphere has been shown to exacerbate climatic changes, much more so than an increase in carbon dioxide. This study examined an anoxic fjord in British Columbia, ... -
Feces Volume and Body Volume of Abarenicola pacifica at Various Distances from Shore at False Bay
(2022-05)Abarenicola pacifica is a species of deposit feeding lugworm that is often dominant in its environment and alters the sediment in ways that influence the other species that settle nearby. Because of their importance in the ... -
Feeding Behavior and Habitat Use of Western Sandpipers (Calidris mauri) and Least Sandpipers (Calidris minutilla) in the San Juan Islands, Washington during Summer 2021
(2021)Coastal ecosystems are important for shoreline species. As anthropogenic changes increase, shoreline species become more vulnerable to habitat loss and degradation. Habitat loss and usage is especially relevant to our ... -
Feeding behavior of Tigriopus californicus fed urchin feces vs fresh algae
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-06-30)Primary productivity does not occur in deeper waters due to limiting light availability, and thus deep subtidal organisms receive energy in the form of detritus. Urchins in the San Juan Archipelago catch and consume large ... -

Feeding ecology of forage fishes in the San Juan Archipelago: Diet composition and variation in Ammodytes hexapterus, Hyperprosopon ellipticum, and Clupea pallasii
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-12)Forage fish play an important role in wasp-waist ecosystems like that of the San Juan Archipelago. These small fish, including the Pacific sand lance, silver surf perch, and Pacific herring, regulate the flow of energy ... -
Feeding electivity of Pugettia gracilis, the graceful kelp crab (Decapoda: Epialtidae), and its potential importance to nearshore kelp forests
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2013-06)Kelp forests are an integral part of complex marine food webs, and it is important to be aware of the roles of the varied consumers in kelp forests to understand the complexityofthefoodwebsinsuchanecosystem. Thetradition ... -
Feeding Mechanics and Functional Morphology in the Jaws of Sculpins
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2015-09)Species with overlapping geographic ranges, similar morphology, and ecological roles often vie for the same resources and therefore face competitive exclusion. This competition can be reduced if species vary in skeletal ...
