  • Independent and Interacting Effects of Multiple
    A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree by Examining Committee Members: © Copyright 2020 by Alexis M Weinnig All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Human population growth and global industrial development are driving potentially irreversible anthropogenic impacts on the natural world, including altering global climate and ocean conditions and exposing oceanic environments to a wide range of pollutants. While there are numerous studies highlighting the variable effects of climate change and pollution on marine organisms independently, there are very few studies focusing on the potential interactive effects of these stressors. The deep-sea is under increasing threat from these anthropogenic stressors, especially cold-water coral (CWC) communities which contribute to nutrient and carbon cycling, as well as providing biogenic habitats, feeding grounds, and nurseries for many fishes and invertebrates. The primary goals of this dissertation are to assess the vulnerability of CWCs to independent and interacting anthropogenic stressors in their environment; including natural hydrocarbon seepage, hydrocarbon and dispersant concentrations released during an accidental oil spill (i.e. Deepwater Horizon), and the interacting effects of climate change-related factors and hydrocarbon/dispersant exposure. To address these goals, multiple stressor experiments were implemented to assess the effects of current and future conditions [(a) temp: 8°C and pH: 7.9; (b) temp: 8°C and pH: 7.6; (c) temp: 12°C and pH: 7.9; (d) temp: 12°C and pH: 7.6] and oil spill exposure (oil, dispersant, oil + dispersant combined) on coral health using the CWC Lophelia pertusa. Phenotypic response was assessed through observations of diagnostic characteristics that were combined into an average health rating at four points during exposure and recovery.

  • I CHARACTERIZING the EFFECTS of ANTHROPOGENIC
    CHARACTERIZING THE EFFECTS OF ANTHROPOGENIC DISTURBANCE ON DEEP-SEA CORALS OF THE GULF OF MEXICO A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Danielle M. DeLeo December 2016 Examining Committee Members: Erik E. Cordes, Advisory Chair, Biology Robert W. Sanders, Biology Rob J. Kulathinal, Biology Santiago Herrera, External Member, Lehigh University i © Copyright 2016 by Danielle M. DeLeo All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Cold-water corals are an important component of deep-sea ecosystems as they establish structurally complex habitats that support benthic biodiversity. These communities face imminent threats from increasing anthropogenic influences in the deep sea. Following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon blowout, several spill-impacted coral communities were discovered in the deep Gulf of Mexico, and subsequent mesophotic regions, although the exact source and extent of this impact is still under investigation, as is the recovery potential of these organisms. At a minimum, impacted octocorals were exposed to flocculant material containing oil and dispersant components, and were visibly stressed. Here the impacts of oil and dispersant exposure are assessed for the octocoral genus Paramuricea. A de novo reference assembly was created to perform gene expression analyses from high-throughput sequencing data. Robust assessments of these data for P. biscaya colonies revealed the underlying expression-level effects resulting from in situ floc exposure. Short-term toxicity studies, exposing the cold-water octocorals Paramuricea type B3 and Callogorgia delta to various fractions and concentrations of oil, dispersant and oil/dispersant mixtures, were also conducted to determine overall toxicity and tease apart the various components of the synergistic exposure effects.
