Behavior and Functional Morphology of Respiration in the Basket Star, Gorgonocephalus eucnemis and Two Brittle Stars in the Genus Ophiothrix

Hainey, MacKenna (University of Oregon, 2019-01-11)

Gorgonocephalus eucnemis, Ophiothrix suensonii and Ophiothrix spiculata are aerobic Echinoderms. Previous observations on the anatomy of these two genera state five pairs of radial shields and genital plates are responsible ...
Functional Morphology of the Postcranium of Theropithecus brumpti (Primates: Cercopithecidae)

Guthrie, Emily Henderson (University of Oregon, 2011-12)

This dissertation describes the postcranial functional morphology of Theropithecus brumpti , a fossil cercopithecoid primate from the Plio-Pleistocene of East Africa. Theropithecus is often used as an analogue for human ...
Mechanics and Selectivity of Filtration by Tunicates

Conley, Keats (University of Oregon, 2018-04-10)

The preferential grazing of an organism on certain particles from the environment (selective feeding) impacts particle compositions and distributions in aquatic systems. Historically, selective feeding has been examined ...
Those Queer Amphibious Animals: Digging into the Fossil Record of Otarioid Pinnipeds to Investigate their Early Diversification, Locomotor Evolution, and Conservation Biogeography

Tate-Jones, Kellum (University of Oregon, 2024-01-10)

Seals, sea lions, walruses, and their extinct relatives and ancestors have played a critical role in marine ecosystems for over 25 million years. Known collectively as pinnipeds, these secondarily aquatic animals are unique ...
