Eat, Prey, Love: Sex influences nest intruder behavior in the maritime earwig (Anisolabis maritima)
(2022)The most common form of parental care in insects is the guarding of eggs/juveniles from intruders. The maritime earwig (Anisolabis maritima), an insect found on beaches worldwide, is an excellent organism for studying ... -
Eddy impact on anthropogenic chemicals in the lee of Hawai’i
(2011-03)Eddies are a common feature in the ocean waters off Hawaii. This study analyzed the natural and anthropogenic chemicals found in the lee of Hawaii. -
Edge of Eden: Epifaunal Biodiversity of Eelgrass Patches in False Bay
(2021)The epifaunal community of an eelgrass patch is biodiverse and affected by multiple variables. The mechanism of edge effects in the marine environment remains uncertain and experiments investigating the relationship between ... -
Edmonds Self-Guided Walking Tour
(2022-06)Constrained by limited resources and funding, small museums often struggle to connect with their communities. COVID-19 worsened this problem when many institutions were forced to shut their doors and rely on alternative ... -
Educate Yourselves: Three Cases of Civic Education in King County Environmental Initiatives

Efects of changing salinity on the lipid composition of Salinivibrio costicola and potential applications as a salinity indicator
(School of Oceanography, University of Washington, 2008-06-19)Salinivibrio costicola is demonstrated to potentially work as a proxy for salinity. Salinity increases in lakes during dry periods, so finding an organism in which salinity changes can be tracked will help track climate ... -
Effect of Acartia grazing on the size distribution of phytoplankton in Academy Bay, Galapagos
(2006-03)The goal of this experiment was to determine if Acartia, a species of zooplankton, fed based on the size of food available. Acartia which more specifically are a type of copepod, have demonstrated this in other experiments. ... -
The effect of age on the adult-produced larval settlement cue in Dendraster excentricus
(2019)A settlement cue produced by adult Pacific sand dollars, Dendraster excentricus, maintains dense aggregations of the species by inducing the metamorphosis of their larvae. This process is well-studied, but the unknown ... -
The effect of Crassostrea gigas size on survival following Pacific Northwest heat dome
(2022)Following a heat dome event in late June- early July 2021, mass shellfish mortalities were reported in Washington State. It is important to study this mortality event given the economic and ecological value of shellfish, ... -
