(2014)This Task Force report will tackle the immense, but clearly attainable goal of eliminating extreme poverty by 2030, addressing the ways in which USAID is working to end extreme poverty around the world. Through research ... -
Zero-rating in emerging mobile markets: Free Basics and Wikipedia Zero in Ghana
(2016-10)Despite widespread controversy surrounding zero-rating—that is, the practice of subsidizing mobile data—the field suffers from a lack of inquiry into user understanding of and experience with zero-rated services. This paper ... -
Ziegler 1 A population genetics study of the wood-boring bivalve, Xylophaga washingtona, from wood-fall experiments along OR and WA, USA
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-08)A widely distributed species of wood-boring bivalve, Xylophaga washingtona, was collected from three sites along the Washington-Oregon margin and assessed with molecular techniques. 16S gene sequences revealed low ... -
ZOOPLANKTON COMMUNITIES IN THE SAN JUAN CHANNEL
(2011)The San Juan Channel is a transitional area between marine and freshwater environments that influences the distribution, abundance and community composition of zooplankton. Zooplankton communities ... -
Zooplankton community composition and size distribution in relation to phytoplankton in the Galapagos Islands
(2006-03)Understanding the properties of zooplankton and their ecosystems is vital to fixing potential problems that may occur in the ecosystems. Over the years, iron fertilization has been thought to be the key to stop global ... -
Zooplankton community structure in response to turbulent flow over a sill in Nootka Sound
(2015-06)[author abstract] Zooplankton behaviors have been well studied, and their movement in the water column can be activated by a number of reasons. They may migrate or maintain position in preferred light levels, avoid predation ... -
Zooplankton composition and copepod lipid content over Fall 2014 in the Salish Sea
(Friday Harbor Laboratories, 2014-12-14)Zooplankton are secondary producers that play a major role in carbon sequestration, the microbial loop, and energy transfer across trophic levels. Zooplankton are abundant in the Salish Sea, a productive inland sea with ... -
Zooplankton diel vertical migration and distribution relative to Cross Seamount using 75 kHz acoustic and net tow surveys
(2011-03)This project attempts to quantify and explain differences in zooplankton distribution and abundance on the top and sides of Cross Seamount, Hawaii. Zooplankton were collected with nets at different depths during both day ... -
Zooplankton distributions relative to a shallow hydrothermal plume
(2010-01-12)This study used acoustic backscattering to locate zooplankton within the water column above and near the shallow seamount, Rumble III. Cofirmed was the earlier finding that zooplankton gather above the plume, but not in ... -
Zooplankton diversity, abundance, and species composition across an oxygen gradient in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific
(2012-06)[Author's Abstract] Dissolved oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration, and therefore can influence zooplankton communities. I examined how an oxygen gradient in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific impacted zooplankton ... -
Zooplankton fecal pellets as a vector transporting microplastics and associated toxins to the deep ocean
(2022)Toxins within the fecal pellets of zooplankton were measured along a transect from Hawaii to San Diego, passing through the southern edge of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Zooplankton were collected via a vertical net ... -
