Proximity to multiple foraging habitats enhances seabirds’ resilience to local food shortages

Creator:: Paredes, Rosana, Harding, Ann M. A., Irons, David B., Roby, Daniel D., Suryan, Robert M., Orben, Rachael A., Renner, Heather, Young, Rebecca, and Kitaysky, Alexander
Abstract:: As central-place foragers, seabirds from colonies located close to multiple and/or productive marine habitats might experience increased foraging opportunities and enhanced resilience to food shortages. We tested whether this hypothesis might explain divergent trends in 3 populations of black-legged kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla, a surface-feeding piscivore, in the eastern Bering Sea....

Multiple steroid and thyroid hormones detected in baleen from eight whale species

Creator:: Lysiak, Nadine S., Moore, Michael J., Hunt, Kathleen E., Robbins, Jooke, Seton, Rosemary E., Buck, C. Loren, and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Recent studies have demonstrated that some hormones are present in baleen powder from bowhead (Balaena mysticetus) and North Atlantic right (Eubalaena glacialis) whales. To test the potential generalizability of this technique for studies of stress and reproduction in large whales, we sought to determine whether all major classes of steroid...

Greater Sage-Grouse movements and habitat use during winter in central Oregon

Creator:: Bruce, Jennifer R., Robinson, W. Douglas, Petersen, Steven L., and Miller, Richard F.
Abstract:: Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) depend on sagebrush habitat for food and cover during winter, yet few sage-grouse winter ecology studies have been conducted. During January and February 2007, we monitored 22 radio-collared sage-grouse (7 females and 15 males) in central Oregon to characterize winter habitat use and movement patterns. We...

Addressing Challenges in the Application of Animal Movement Ecology to Aquatic Conservation and Management

Creator:: Ogburn, Matthew B., Mills Flemming, Joanna E., Harrison, Autumn-Lynn, Cooke, Steven J., Torres, Leigh G., and Whoriskey, Frederick G.
Abstract:: The dynamic nature of most environments forces many animals to move to meet their fundamental needs. This is especially true in aquatic environments where shifts in spatial ecology (which are a result of movements) are among the first adaptive responses of animals to changes in ecosystems. Changes in the movement...

Nested scales of spatial heterogeneity in juvenile walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma in the southeastern Bering Sea

Creator:: Benoit-Bird, Kelly J., McIntosh, Neal E., and Heppell, Scott A.
Abstract:: We sought to characterize the distribution of juvenile walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma in an area of intense predator-prey interactions and to describe habitat features that lead to their observed distributions. The distribution of juvenile walleye pollock around the Pribilof Islands in the southeastern Bering Sea in 2008 and 2009 was...

Prey Patch Patterns Predict Habitat Use by Top Marine Predators with Diverse Foraging Strategies

Creator:: Benoit-Bird, Kelly J., Battaile, Brian C., Heppell, Scott A., Hoover, Brian, Irons, David, Jones, Nathan, Kuletz, Kathy J., Nordstrom, Chad A., Paredes, Rosana, Suryan, Robert M., Waluk, Chad M., and Trites, Andrew W.
Abstract:: Spatial coherence between predators and prey has rarely been observed in pelagic marine ecosystems. We used measures of the environment, prey abundance, prey quality, and prey distribution to explain the observed distributions of three co-occurring predator species breeding on islands in the southeastern Bering Sea: black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla), thick-billed...

A sense of scale : Foraging cetaceans’ use of scale-dependent multimodal sensory systems

Creator:: Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Research on cetacean foraging ecology is central to our understanding of their spatial and behavioral ecology. Yet, functional mechanisms by which cetaceans detect prey across different scales remain unclear. Here, I postulate that cetaceans utilize a scale-dependent, multimodal sensory system to assess and increase prey encounters. I review the literature...

Parasite communities indicate effects of cross-shelf distributions, but not mesoscale oceanographic features on northern California Current mid-trophic food web

Creator:: Jacobson, Kym C., Baldwin, Rebecca E. B., and Reese, Douglas C.
Abstract:: Mesoscale physical oceanographic features, such as jets and eddies, can influence the structure of marine ecosystems. We used trophically transmitted parasite communities of pelagic fishes in the northern California Current to examine effects of physical oceanographic features on pelagic ecosystem structure. We tested the hypotheses that (1) oceanographic features associated...

eDNA as a tool for identifying freshwater species in sustainable forestry: A critical review and potential future applications

Creator:: Coble, Ashley A., Flinders, Camille A., Homyack, Jessica A., Penaluna, Brooke E., Cronn, Richard C., and Weitemier, Kevin
Abstract:: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging biological monitoring tool that can aid in assessing the effects of forestry and forest manufacturing activities on biota. Monitoring taxa across broad spatial and temporal scales is necessary to ensure forest management and forest manufacturing activities meet their environmental goals of maintaining biodiversity.

Assessment of fecal steroid and thyroid hormone metabolites in eastern North Pacific gray whales

Creator:: Lemos, Leila S., Olsen, Amy, Smith, Angela, Chandler, Todd E., Larson, Shawn, Hunt, Kathleen, and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Baleen whale fecal samples have high potential for endocrine monitoring, which can be used as a non-invasive tool to identify the physiological response to disturbance events and describe population health and vital rates. In this study, we used commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to validate and quantify fecal steroid (progestins, androgens...
