On the road to sustainability : Assessing Belize's fisheries management reform using a multiscalar governance approach

Creator:: Wade, Eric A.
Abstract:: The management of small-scale fisheries (SSF) around the world is facing increasing demands for reformation given ecological, social, and economic vulnerabilities. The governance of SSF is particularly important to foster the sustainability of these systems given that it combines regulatory instruments, interactive participation of diverse stakeholders, and the guiding values...

Ecology of Columbian black-tailed deer fawns in western Oregon

Creator:: Pamplin, Nathan P.
Abstract:: Little is known about Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) because of their elusive nature and the logistical difficulty of studying them in densely forested and mountainous terrain. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has identified fawn survival as an important gap in the current knowledge of demography and...

Photo-identification of Melon-headed Whales (Peponocephala electra) in the Marquesas Islands : Creation of the First Photo-identification Catalog and Estimation of Group Size and Minimum Abundance in a Remote Archipelago

Creator:: McClung, John Ralph, II
Abstract:: For many species of oceanic dolphins, photo-identification and genetic data indicate that these island-associated populations are demographically isolated from pelagic populations and that island-associated populations exhibit very different patterns of movement and habitat use. Melon-headed whales (Peponocephala electra) are generally considered a pelagic dolphin, but have been documented around oceanic...

Effects of body size on the survival and timing of emigration of newly metamorphosed Northern Red-legged frogs

Creator:: Chelgren, Nathan D.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the survival and movements of newly metamorphosed Northern Red-legged frogs (Rana aurora aurora) as they emigrated from two ephemeral breeding ponds. Quantifying survival and movement rates will be important to our understanding how changes to terrestrial and aquatic systems affect behavior and...

An analysis of guild structure of avian communities, Columbia River, Oregon

Creator:: Noyes, Cecilia Lea Barham
Abstract:: Effects of habitat and season on guild structure of avian communities were examined for islands in the estuary zone of the Columbia River, Oregon. Bird species were classified into guilds according to their major food item, typical foraging substrate, and foraging behavior. Variation in community structure indices (number of guilds,...

Juvenile survival and birth-site selection of Rocky Mountain elk in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Rearden, Spencer N.
Abstract:: With declining populations and low calf recruitment in northeastern Oregon, much interest has been generated to study the survival rates and causes of mortality of Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni). I investigated the causes of elk calf mortality and the effects of predation risk on birth-site selection by cow...

Evaluation of data-poor and age-structure management strategies for west coast rockfish

Creator:: Arnold, Linsey M.
Abstract:: Management strategies to prevent overfishing while achieving optimum yield vary according to the available data and life history of the fished stock. I evaluated two sets of management strategies for Pacific coast rockfish: strategies to set harvest limits for data-poor stocks, and strategies intended to protect the age structure of...

Climate warming effects on the life cycle of the parasite Ceratomyxa shasta in salmon of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Chiaramonte, Luciano V.
Abstract:: Aquatic ecosystems continue to be increasingly affected by climate warming. For salmonids in the Pacific Northwest of North America, increasing temperatures pose tighter thermal constraints on their habitat use as well as aspects of their individual performance, such as disease resistance. This thesis examines the effect of temperature on the...

Using Satellite Imagery to Count Nesting Albatross from Space

Creator:: Dolliver, Jane E.
Abstract:: One fundamental concern in conservation biology is species abundance. For many taxa, however, these data are costly to obtain via direct observation and thus limited in geographic or temporal scope. Very high-resolution satellite imagery provides a means to address these limitations and provide remotely-sensed counts of large, colonial species. We...
