Human Trampling In The Upper Rocky Intertidal: Trampling And Recovery In Barnacle Mediated Succession, Timothy Lawrence Grubba
Human Trampling In The Upper Rocky Intertidal: Trampling And Recovery In Barnacle Mediated Succession, Timothy Lawrence Grubba
Dissertations and Theses
Marine intertidal ecosystems are vulnerable to human interference,
because trampling can be a significant problem. I studied the impacts of
trampling on community patterns and succession in a rocky intertidal
habitats. This study was divided into two phases: ( 1) a trampling phase and
(2) a recovery phase. Both phases are focused on two barnacles, Balanus
glandula and Chthamalus dalli, and on fucoid and red algae. The trampling
phase tested the effects of trampling on these organisms. The effects of
herbivores, primarily limpets (Collisella digitalis) were also tested to
determine whether anthropogenic (trampling) and natural (herbivory and
limpet bulldozing) disturbances …

Observations On Reproduction, Isozyme Patterns, And Meristics In Mosquitofish (Pisces: Poeciliidae) From West Virginia, Matt Mcreynolds
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Prior to 1988, two subspecies of the mosquitofish Gambusia affinis (G. a. affinis and G. a. holbrooki) were recognized along the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts of the United States. Based on electrophoretic analysis, subsequent investigators recognized G. holbrooki and G. affinis as separate species. Populations in drainages west of Mobile Bay were considered G. affinis, and those east of this divide being G. holbrooki. The only mosquitofish population in West Virginia is found in the Meadow River wetlands (1392 ha). This wetland complex is located at the western end of Greenbrier County in the Allegheny Mountain Province. …
