Anti-predatory and foraging behaviors of whelks from laboratory experiments at Bodega Marine Laboratory in 2017
No full textDataset: Legacy of predators: behaviorTo investigate anti-predatory and foraging behaviors of whelks, we conducted laboratory experiments at Bodega Marine Laboratory in 2017 to test whether previous predator exposure had a sustained effect on prey foraging and in turn on a basal resource, even after the predator was removed. We tested for both behavioral and morphological legacies of prior predation. The study system consisted of a tri-trophic food chain, using the red rock crab, Cancer productus, as the predator, the carnivorous whelk, Nucella ostrina, as the prey species, and the California mussel, Mytilus californianus, as the basal resource.

Mesocosm study of trophic interactions under ocean acidification, focusing on the consumption of algae by snails in Bodega Bay, California
No full textDataset: Mesocosm study: algae eatenThis dataset represents a mesocosm study of trophic interactions under ocean acidification, focusing on the consumption of algae by snails in Bodega Bay, California. This dataset is part of a larger experiment to investigate how pH influences trophic links between intertidal sea stars (Leptasterias hexactis), snails (Tegula funebralis), and macroalgae (Mazzaella flaccida).

Marine organic carbon and radiocarbon – present and future challenges. Radiocarbon, (2022): 1-17, https://doi.org/10.1017/RDC.2021.105.We discuss present and developing techniques for studying radiocarbon in marine organic carbon (C). Bulk DOC (dissolved organic C) Δ14C measurements reveal information about the cycling time and sources of DOC in the ocean, yet they are time consuming and need to be streamlined. To further elucidate the cycling of DOC, various fractions have been separated from bulk DOC, through solid phase extraction of DOC, and ultrafiltration of high and low molecular weight DOC. Research using 14C of DOC and particulate organic C separated into organic fractions revealed that the acid insoluble fraction is similar in 14C signature to that of the lipid fraction. Plans for utilizing this methodology are described. Studies using compound specific radiocarbon analyses to study the origin of biomarkers in the marine environment are reviewed and plans for the future are outlined. Development of ramped pyrolysis oxidation methods are discussed and scientific questions addressed. A modified elemental analysis (EA) combustion reactor is described that allows high particulate organic C sample throughput by direct coupling with the MIniCArbonDAtingSystem

No full textBalaenoptera physalus (fin whale) - MH-03-478 - male - 16.2 m - Pelvic location - University of Georgia,. approx. 53-foot (NOAA database gives ~1780 cm = 58.5 feet), sub-adult male washed ashore in a decomposed condition at Sand Hill Beach, Scituate, Plymouth Co., MA. Although the muscles and organs were fairly well preserved, all of the skin was peeled to a white layer, and the extremities were beginning to come apart. Missing parts included both mandibles, both maxillas and premaxillas, the baleen, the left flipper (the carpals and phalanges), the outermost right phalanges, both tail flukes along with the last two or three caudal vertebrae. The length of the remaining carcass was 51 feet from the end of the nasal cartilage to the end of the remaining tail vertebrae. The remainder of the skeleton was salvaged in 3.5 hours on the same afternoon
