| health and survival of red abalone haliotis rufescens from san miguel island, california, usa, in a laboratory simulation of la ni+¦a and el ni+¦o conditions. | the variability in southern california's marine climate is dominated by the el ni+¦o-southern oscillation, with cycling between el ni+¦o events (characterized by warm water, low productivity, and frequent storms) and la ni+¦a events (which exhibit the opposite conditions). relative to the mainland and other channel islands, san miguel island (smi) consistently maintains cooler water temperatures and supports significant populations of red abalone haliotis rufescens, presumably owing to increased ... | 2011 | 21834330 |
| putative phage hyperparasite in the rickettsial pathogen of abalone, "candidatus xenohaliotis californiensis". | studies on the ecology of microbial parasites and their hosts are predicated on understanding the assemblage of and relationship among the species present. changes in organismal morphology and physiology can have profound effects on host-parasite interactions and associated microbial community structure. the marine rickettsial organism, "candidatus xenohaliotis californiensis" (ws-rlo), that causes withering syndrome of abalones has had a consistent morphology based on light and electron microsc ... | 2012 | 22729142 |
