The Ecophysiology of Thiamine Deficiency Complex : Evaluating Sources of Thiaminase in Great Lakes Food Webs

Creator:: Evans, Allison N.
Abstract:: Thiamine (vitamin B₁) is required by all living organisms for carbohydrate metabolism and synthesis of amino acids. Thiamine deficiency is responsible for several related classes of early life stage mortality disorders in salmonines, including Thiamine Deficiency Complex (TDC) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, Cayuga Syndrome in the Finger Lakes, and...

Evaluating space use and pesticide exposure risk for burrowing owls in an agricultural environment

Creator:: Gervais, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Large burrowing owl (Aihene cunicularia) populations exist in areas of intensive agriculture in California, and pesticide exposure has been identified as a potential threat to population persistence. I evaluated breeding season use of agricultural fields by adult male owls using radio telemetry, and examined egg contaminant residues to estimate population-level...

Implications of cougar prey selection and demography on population dynamics of elk in northeast Oregon

Creator:: Clark, Darren A.
Abstract:: Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni; hereafter elk) populations in northeast Oregon have declined in the past 10 to 20 years. Concurrent with these declines, cougar (Puma concolor) populations have apparently increased, leading to speculation that predation by cougars may be responsible for declining...

Life-history organization of cutthroat trout in Yellowstone Lake and its management implications

Creator:: Gresswell, Robert E.
Abstract:: Life-history organization of the cutthroat trout (Oncorhvnchus clarki) may be viewed at various levels, including species, subspecies, metapopulation, population, or individual. Each level varies in spatial scale and temporal persistence, and components at each level continually change with changes in environment. Cutthroat trout are widely distributed throughout the western USA,...

Bioenergetics-based predator-prey relationships between piscivorous birds and juvenile salmonids in the Columbia River estuary

Creator:: Lyons, Donald E.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the predator-prey relationship between two species of avian predators, Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) and double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus), and one of their important prey types, juvenile salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.), in the Columbia River estuary of Oregon and Washington states during the period 1998 – 2007. I...

Seasonal floodplain wetlands as fish habitat in Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Baker, Cynthia F.
Abstract:: To begin to understand freshwater seasonal floodplain fish communities in the context of human alteration of the physical system, species introductions and wetland restoration efforts, I studied fish assemblages in fifteen seasonal floodplain wetlands within four geographic regions (coastal, upper Columbia River estuary, Puget Sound and eastern Oregon/Washington) in the...

Carbon Dynamics in Response to Land Cover Change in Tropical Peatlands, Kalimantan, Indonesia

Creator:: Basuki, Imam
Abstract:: This study focuses in providing the knowledge on carbon (C) stocks, emission and ecosystem productivity related to land use/land cover change in tropical peatlands. The field research activities were conducted for about 17 months between August 2013 to December 2015, at Pematang Gadung peat dome (peat depth up to 10.5...

Heterogeneous thermal habitat for northeast Oregon stream fishes

Creator:: Ebersole, Joseph L.
Abstract:: Discrete coldwater patches within warm streams provide potential thermal refuge for coldwater fishes during periods of heat stress. This analysis focused on heterogeneity in stream water temperatures as influenced by local influx of cooler subsurface waters. Using field thermal probes and recording thermistors, we identified and characterized coldwater patches potentially...
