  • Skin Deep: An Assessment of New Zealand Blue Whale Skin Condition

    Creator:
    Barlow, Dawn R., Pepper, Acacia L., and Torres, Leigh G.
    Abstract:
    Skin condition assessment of wildlife can provide insight into individual and population health. Yet, logistics can limit skin condition assessment of large whales. We developed a standardized, quantitative protocol using photographs to assess skin condition of blue whales in New Zealand, and demonstrate the value gained by testing hypotheses, documenting...

  • Evaluating desiccated cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon flos-aquae for use as a biofertilizer on Swiss Chard

    Creator:
    Turk, Douglas E.
    Abstract:
    Non-toxic species of desiccated blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, may offer potential for use as a fertilizer on irrigated crops. Here, the non-toxic cyanobacteria species Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), collected from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, was evaluated for use as a biofertilizer in a controlled experiment on Swiss chard “Bright Lights” (Beta...

  • Mobile Autonomous Passive Acoustic Monitoring of Marine Mammals in the Catalina Basin

    Creator:
    Edison, Ciera J. and Fregosi, Selene
    Abstract:
    Traditional visual survey methods for marine mammals can only detect a fraction of the animals present. Even if the animal can be observed from the surface, visual limitations such as time of day and weather conditions can impede this ability. Recent advances in passive acoustic monitoring technologies have led to...

  • Bat Monitoring in North Coast and Cascades Network Summer 2019

    Creator:
    Barnett, Emily, Mock, Rayanne, Grigorov, Anastacia, Levorse, Alexis, and Chestnut, Tara
    Abstract:
    The detection of white-nose syndrome (WNS) in King County, WA in 2016 prompted the National Park Service to mobilize region-wide bat monitoring and disease surveillance. One of the goals of the Pacific West Region WNS response plan was to implement acoustic monitoring to determine the distribution of bat species and...

  • Detecting Fish Vocalizations in American Samoa Using Machine Learning

    Creator:
    Munger, Jill
    Abstract:
    A deep neural network was developed and trained to identify the sounds of pomacentrids (damselfishes) in the National Park of American Samoa. Four years of continuous, passive acoustic data were recorded by a single stationary hydrophone. Deep neural networks enable the full utilization of such large datasets by automating laborious...

  • New discovery leads to a whole new meaning of “trash fish”

    Creator:
    Chione, Andrew
    Abstract:
    This paper is an assignment for my Ichthyology class at Oregon State University. I was tasked with creating a new fish species that is scientifically possible and telling a fictional story of its discovery.
