Disputed Spaces : Concheras, Shrimp Aquaculture, and Conservation in the Mangrove Forests of Southern Esmeraldas, Ecuador

Creator:: Treviño Peña, Melva B.
Abstract:: The mangrove ecosystem has served as a life-support system to large populations of coastal dwellers in Ecuador for many generations. Diverse communities comprised of multi-racial and multi-ethnic groups have formed along the edge of the mangrove forests throughout the Ecuadorian coast. These groups self-identify as being part of an “ancestral”...

Upland Habitat Conservation Areas - San Juan County Best Available Science Synthesis, Chapter 4

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R. and Earth Design Consultants, Inc.
Abstract:: This document provides definitions and a general overview of streams and lakes of San Juan County (SJC) and then describes impacts to these water bodies and strategies for determining widths of buffers that protect their functions. It similarly provides definitions and a general overview of SJC upland (terrestrial) habitats, describes...

A Bayesian approach to habitat suitability prediction

Creator:: Lockett, Daniel Edwin, IV
Abstract:: For the west coast of North America, from northern California to southern Washington, a habitat suitability prediction framework was developed to support wave energy device siting. Concern that wave energy devices may impact the seafloor and benthos has renewed research interest in the distribution of marine benthic invertebrates and factors...

Effect of forecast skill on management of the Oregon coast coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) fishery

Creator:: Rupp, David E., Wainwright, Thomas C., and Lawson, Peter W.
Abstract:: Better fisheries management is often given as one justification for research on improving forecasts of fish survival. However, the value gained from expected improvements in forecast skill in terms of achieving management goals is rarely quantified as part of research objectives. Using Monte Carlo simulations of population dynamics, we assessed...

The effects of clouds on transient baroclinic eddies in a Mars General Circulation Model

Creator:: Rucker, Michael S.
Abstract:: The low-level baroclinic eddy activity seen in the NASA Ames Mars General Circulation Model (MGCM) for simulations under three annual dust cycles are characterized. Simulations were conducted with both radiatively active and radiatively inert clouds (RAC and non-RAC, respectively) for 11 continuous annual cycles for each dust case. Model results...

Distribution of Western Pond Turtle Populations in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon : Project Report to the Western Pond Turtle Working Group

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: This is the second of two new reports sponsored by a consortium of public groups and focusing on the Western Pond Turtle (Emys marmorata marmorata). The first report (Adamus 2003) provided an updated perspective on the distribution of the species in the Willamette River Basin, based on new field surveys,...

Of Mysid and Menidia: Sublethal Effects of Micro and Nanoplastics on Estuarine Indicator Species

Creator:: Dickens, John
Abstract:: Microplastics are widely distributed in aquatic environments. The term ‘microplastics’ encompasses a wide array of particles with unique polymer constituents, morphologies, and sources, such as automobile tire tread. Tire wear particles (TWP) can end up in waterways near densely populated municipalities, where they can interact with aquatic biota. Studying the...

Effects of forest roads and tree removal in or near wetlands of the Pacific Northwest : a literature synthesis

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: Because studies of forestry effects on wetlands have been so infrequent in the Pacific Northwest, each section in this report drew heavily from studies of forestry impacts to streams and riparian zones. After assembly and synthesis, that information was extrapolated, mostly in the form of hypotheses, to the very different...

Insights from stable isotope dynamics into the sensitivity of larval Pacific oysters to ocean acidification

Creator:: Brunner, Elizabeth Lev
Abstract:: Larvae of the Pacific Oyster, Crassostrea gigas, at Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery (WCH) in Netarts Bay, Oregon, are negatively impacted by high-CO₂ water and exposure during the initial shell formation period appears to be particularly damaging. To investigate the mechanism of this early susceptibility, several cohorts of larvae at WCH...

Skwakol: The Decline of the Siletz Lamprey Eel Population During the 20th Century

Creator:: Downey, Tom, Rilatos, Darin, Sondenaa, Annette, and Zybach, Bob
Abstract:: It can be reasonably assumed that lamprey eel harvesting has systematically and periodically occurred along the Siletz River and its tributaries for as many hundreds, or thousands, or tens of thousands of years that human families and lamprey eel populations have coexisted in the Siletz Valley ecosystem. This report is...
