Using Spatial Capture-Recapture to Estimate Density of Roosevelt Elk in Western Oregon

Creator:: Nelson, Jennifer E.
Abstract:: Spatial capture-recapture (SCR) is employed for estimating abundance and density of species, particularly those that are cryptic or solitary, and evaluating how population density varies with habitat. However, it is uncertain whether estimates are biased when applied to species that aggregate, such as elk (Cervus canadensis). Wildlife managers in the...

Breeding ecology and nest site selection of Kittlitz's murrelets on Kodiak Island, Alaska

Creator:: Lawonn, Matthew James
Abstract:: The Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) is a rare member of the seabird family Alcidae that breeds in coastal areas of Alaska and Beringian Russia. The species belongs to the genus Brachyramphus, an unusual seabird taxon in which all three extant species nest non-colonially, situating their nests up to 75 km...

A Comparative Study of Foraging Behavior and Disturbance Regimes in Urban Versus Agricultural Habitats used by Cackling Geese Wintering in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Harrington, Erin R.
Abstract:: The Cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii minima) population has increased from a low of 20,000 in 1984 to the current population of 220,000-300,000 (Stehn 2012, Sanders 2013). As the Cackling goose population began to recover in the late 1990s, the majority of the population relocated from wintering in California to the...

Headwater stream macroinvertebrates of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Frady, Charles H.
Abstract:: Recent studies of headwater streams have demonstrated their importance to overall watershed biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and energy flux. However, little attention has been paid to long-term effects of forest harvest on macroinvertebrate communities in headwater streams. This study investigated headwater stream macroinvertebrate communities in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon,...

Distribution and movements of Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, returning to the Yukon River basin

Creator:: Eiler, John H.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, returning to the Yukon River basin and other large river systems in western Alaska have declined dramatically since the late 1990s. This continuing trend has raised concerns over the future status of the returns, and severely impacted commercial and subsistence fisheries within the drainage. Management is...

Population structure of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in the Muck Creek Basin, Washington

Creator:: Zimmerman, Christian E.
Abstract:: The relationship of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) populations in the Muck Creek basin, a 238 km² southern Puget Sound stream basin in western Washington, was examined using starch gel electrophoresis and meristic analysis. Coastal cutthroat trout were collected from six sites throughout the basin including tributaries, portions of...

Life-history strategies of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) across a volcanic disturbance gradient at Mount St. Helens, Washington

Creator:: Blackman, Tara Elizabeth
Abstract:: In this study, I examine the influence of habitat gradients created by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington USA on a recently established Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) population in the Spirit Lake basin. My goal was to evaluate the responses of fish in seven streams across a volcanic...

Genetic and meristic relationships of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) residing above and below barriers in two coastal basins

Creator:: Griswold, Kitty E.
Abstract:: An investigation of the genetic and meristic patterns of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in two coastal basins, one in Oregon and one in Alaska, revealed varying degrees of differences among populations within each site. Coastal cutthroat trout collected from seven sites above and below barriers from Elk River,...

Genetic diversity in coastal cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Griswold, Kitty E.
Abstract:: Genetic diversity of two salmonid species, Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) and coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in Prince William Sound, Alaska were examined at multiple spatial scales with three molecular markers. Pleistocene glaciers covered what is now Prince William Sound 8,000- 12,000 years ago and both species colonized the...

Geographic variation in genetic and meristic characters of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki)

Creator:: Williams, Thomas Herbert
Abstract:: Understanding how populations within a species interact across various geographic and temporal scales is fundamental to developing appropriate conservation strategies. I examined the geographic variation in genetic and meristic characters of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) based on approximately 1,400 fish sampled from 54 populations spanning their distributional range...
