Movement and energetics of swimming marine mollusks
… ocean biomes respond to naturally varying and anthropogenically-induced changes. In this thesis, I adapted emerging biologging sensor technology, traditionally designed for large robust vertebrates, for two key mollusk taxonomic groups (squid and scallops) to quantify and characterize movements …

Developmental stress in birds: phenotypic and fitness
… five, I explore the causes and consequences of stressors in a free-living model species, the white-crowned sparrow (<italic>Zonotrichia leucophryus oriantha</italic>). I examine the effects of an anthropogenic stressor (a high traffic road) on nestling stress responses, growth, and survival. I …

Detecting anthropogenic impacts on estuarine benthic communities
… by the cumulative effects of interacting stressors. Separating the impacts of anthropogenic stressors from natural variability in the marine environment is extremely difficult. This is particularly true for estuaries, due to their inherent complexity and the prevalence of …
