Tempo and Mode of Diversification in the Neotropical Fish Superfamily Anostomoidea (Ostariophysi: Characiformes)

Creator:: Frable, Benjamin W.
Abstract:: Neotropical characiform fishes form one of the most diverse freshwater ichthyofauna in the world. Knowledge of evolutionary processes that generated and maintain the immense characiform lineage and morphological diversity is still poorly understood. When did characiform lineages diversify? How have major geological and environmental changes affected diversification? Why are some...

Reproductive success and foraging ecology of the rusty blackbird on the Copper River Delta, Alaska

Creator:: Loomis, David M.
Abstract:: The Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) has suffered significant population declines across its entire geographic range and the mechanisms associated with this decline are poorly understood. Although much of the Rusty Blackbird breeding habitat in Alaska has remained relatively unaltered by anthropogenic activities, this species continues to decline by an estimated...

Hydrologic and vegetation responses associated with restoration of wetlands in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Coleman, Gregory A.
Abstract:: I examined hydrological and plant community changes associated with the implementation of a restoration management plan in two riparian meadows located within an agricultural landscape of the central Willamette Valley, Oregon. I established exclosure fencing (a form of passive restoration) in one agricultural field and established fencing and plugged a...

The influence of fall-spawning salmon on growth and production of juvenile coho salmon rearing in beaver ponds on the Copper River Delta, Alaska

Creator:: Lang, Dirk W.
Abstract:: This thesis examined the influence of fall-spawning coho salmon on the density, growth rate, body condition, and survival to outmigration of juvenile coho salmon rearing in beaver ponds on the Copper River Delta, Alaska. During the fall of 1999 and 2000 fish rearing in ponds that received spawning salmon were...

Composition, structure, and biomass of cottonwood-dominated gallery forests along a successional gradient, Willamette River, Oregon

Creator:: Fierke, Melissa K.
Abstract:: Recognizing the importance of native black cottonwood-dominated riparian forests is especially important to preserve, protect, and manage for biodiversity in the Willamette River Valley. Species composition, structure, and biomass along a successional gradient from stand initiation to late succession of black cottonwood (Populus balsamfera L. subsp. trichocarpa (T. & G.)...

Relationships among in-stream physical habitat, land use, and geology in small coastal streams of northern Oregon

Creator:: Scott, Larissa E.
Abstract:: Salmonid populations in the Pacific Northwest are at historic lows and many populations continue to decline. Previous studies have linked salmonid declines to land use through degradation of in-stream physical habitat, but few of these studies have taken geology into consideration. This study relates habitat parameters known to be important...

A geographical framework for assessing longitudinal patterns in stream habitat and fish distribution

Creator:: Torgersen, Christian E.
Abstract:: New approaches are needed to quantify and understand spatial patterns of stream fishes and their environment. Concepts in riverine ecology emphasize the importance of thermal zones and gradual longitudinal changes in physical habitat and biota, but little is known about spatial variability within the river continuum. I present a conceptual...

The species composition, density, and distribution of the littoral zooplankton assemblage in Crater Lake, Oregon

Creator:: Warncke, William Madara
Abstract:: The species compositions and densities of the littoral and pelagic zooplankton assemblages in Crater Lake were compared. The littoral and pelagic zooplankton assemblages of most lakes are typically different due to different habitat conditions in the two zones. The littoral zone of Crater Lake lacks many of the habitat characteristics,...

Analysis of a multispecies fishery : the commercial fishery fleet of Iquitos, Amazon Basin, Peru

Creator:: Tello, Salvador
Abstract:: In this study an analysis of the commercial fishery of the Loreto Region, with emphasis on the fishery fleet of Iquitos, Amazon Basin, Peru, is presented. There is evidence of a progressive replacement of large species by smaller, more productive and lower value species in the landing of the commercial...

Using Oregon trawl logbooks to study spatial and temporal characteristics of commercial groundfish species associations

Creator:: Lee, Yong Woo
Abstract:: Species associations of fifteen major commercial groundfish species in the northeastern Pacific ocean and their spatial and temporal characteristics were studied using Oregon bottom trawl logbook data, 1987 to 1993. Screening procedures were used to remove questionable data from the original logbook files, which resulted in the exclusion of information...
