Zoology
Objectives/Goals The Olympia Oyster (Ostrea conchaphila) is the only native oyster on the California coast. Once highly abundant, populations declined due to over-harvesting and habitat loss…

Objectives/Goals the effects on the flow rate, as a representation of stroke volume and cardiac output, and pressure on a model heart with progressive atherosclerosis in comparison to that o…
CSEF · 2005
Zoology
Objectives/Goals Elevated stream temperatures and low dissolved oxygen are two components which are detrimental to salmonids. Ground water is generally cool enough to be considered thermal r…
CSEF · 2005
Zoology
Objectives/Goals This is the 4th year of a study on the introduced mantid species Iris oratoria, the Mediterranean Mantid. Babies hatching from an isolated female indicate previously undocum…
CSEF · 2005
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals To determine if different types of gum has an effect on the temperature of a person's mouth. I believe that chewing different types of gum will increase the temperature of a…

Zoology
Objectives/Goals On pilings under Stearns Wharf and Goleta Pier, I always noticed that mussel beds were out of water for a long time at low tide and that very few mussels were lower. My goal…
CSEF · 2005
Mammalian Biology
Objectives/Goals My project was to determine what angle of impact has the most effect on making a bruise. I believe a direct hit has the greatest impact to the skin test models. Methods/Mate…
CSEF · 2005
Zoology
Objectives/Goals My goal was to see if dissolved oxygen levels affect Viviparis malleatus (trapdoor snail) behavior. From the Year One Study (2003-2004), I learned that trapdoor snails do di…
