The effects of dietary algal and lipid supplements on the gonadal and larval development of Crassostrea gigas kumamoto (Thunberg)

Creator:

Robinson, Anja M.

Abstract:

Under laboratory conditions, elevated temperatures accelerated production of gametes. However, when conditioning for spawning at elevated temperatures was initiated early in the season (January-March), larval survival and number of spat collected were significantly lower than when conditioning was initiated in may or June. At elevated temperatures, broodstock oysters were fed...

White-breasted nuthatch density and nesting ecology in oak woodlands of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:

Viste-Sparkman, Karen

Habitat loss causes a reduction in available resources for wildlife, alters the configuration of remaining habitat, and may isolate wildlife populations. White-breasted nuthatches (Sitta carolinensis) are experiencing long-term population declines in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where they are historically associated with oak woodlands. As secondary cavity-nesters, white-breasted nuthatches may...
