Light and the behavior of pelagic animals during night and crepuscular periods

Creator:: Wisdom, Daniel W.
Abstract:: Light plays an important role in ecological processes in the ocean both day and night. While relatively inexpensive, off the shelf instruments are available to measure Photosynthetically Active Radiation or PAR during the day, efforts to quantify light levels at night have proven more difficult. The goal of this work...

Detection, classification and ecology of acoustic scattering layers

Creator:: Cade, David Edmund
Abstract:: Acoustic scattering layers of biological origin have been observed for nearly 70 years across the world’s oceans. The organisms that comprise these layers are known to be important features in most oceanic ecosystems, providing a vital trophic link between small phytoplankton grazers and larger species. There are many aspects of...

Community-based sea turtle conservation in Baja, Mexico : integrating science and culture

Creator:: Bird, Kristin E.
Abstract:: This thesis discusses both theoretical and practical considerations inherent in conducting community-based research within a case study of sea turtle conservation in Baja California, Mexico. A brief background, including the general ecology, status and distribution of sea turtles of the Baja peninsula is presented, with an overview of the current...

Sage Grouse Initiative 2.0 Investment Strategy, FY 2015-2018

Creator:: United States Department of Agriculture
Abstract:: The greater sage-grouse, an iconic ground-dwelling bird of the West, has experienced significant population declines during the past 50 years from habitat loss. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) designated sage grouse in 2010 as a candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). In September 2015, the...

How Good Science and Stories Can Go Hand-In-Hand

Creator:: Leslie, Heather M., Goldman, Erica, McLeod, Karen L., Sievanen, Leila, Balasubramanian, Hari, Cudney-Bueno, Richard, Feuerstein, Amanda, Knowlton, Nancy, Lee, Kai, Pollnac, Richard, and Samhouri, Jameal F.
Abstract:: What do you say when you have only a minute to explain to a municipal official why keeping track of the number of bird species found in a park may help make decisions about park management? Talk of significant differences among treatments or testing theory will likely meet with glazed...

Compensatory Mitigation: An Interim Solution to Seabird Bycatch in Fisheries?

Creator:: Pascoe, Sean, Wilcox, Chris, and Donlan, C. Josh
Abstract:: The concept of compensatory mitigation is well established as an approach to environmental management. In the past, mitigation programs have been used to conserve wetlands affected by development, and is proposed as a cost-effective approach to offsetting greenhouse gas emissions through reforestation programs. The concept may be equally applicable to...

Opportunities and challenges in engaging stakeholders in marine reserves planning in Oregon

Creator:: Bird, Arwen
Abstract:: This paper explores the contributions of social capital, social connections, and stakeholder engagement to the goals of ecosystem-based management in a local scale marine planning process. The body of work presented here, through a journal article and report, uses the lens of social capital to evaluate stakeholder engagement in making...

Plethodontid Salamander Distributions in Managed Forest Headwaters in Western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Olson, Deanna H. and Kluber, Matthew R.
Abstract:: We examined terrestrial amphibians in managed headwater forest stands in western Oregon from 1998 to 2009. We assessed: (1) temporal and spatial patterns of species capture rates, and movement patterns with distance from streams and forest management treatments of alternative riparian buffer widths and upland thinning; (2) species survival and...

Fifty years of change in a Pacific Northwest winter forest bird community

Creator:: Clements, Nolan
Abstract:: North American bird populations have declined throughout the past half century. The majority of studies quantifying these declines have focused on spring and summer breeding birds; not the season of scarcity, winter. We re-surveyed 7 large study plots in Douglas fir forests initially surveyed in winter during the late 1960s...
