Neural gene expression profiling in chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) of alternate run times

Creator:: Bernier, Jeremiah C.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) display the greatest variability of return times to freshwater of all Pacific salmon. Differential return times to freshwater have segregated populations of Chinook into two broad types or runs, fall and spring, named for the time of year in which they migrate to freshwater. Migration time...

Using Oregon trawl logbooks to study spatial and temporal characteristics of commercial groundfish species associations

Creator:: Lee, Yong Woo
Abstract:: Species associations of fifteen major commercial groundfish species in the northeastern Pacific ocean and their spatial and temporal characteristics were studied using Oregon bottom trawl logbook data, 1987 to 1993. Screening procedures were used to remove questionable data from the original logbook files, which resulted in the exclusion of information...

Spawning, larval recruitment, and early life survival of Pacific lampreys in the South Fork Coquille River, Oregon

Creator:: Brumo, Abel F.
Abstract:: Recently, there has been concern over the decline of the Pacific lamprey, Lampetra tridentata, in the northwestern United States. However, effective management has been impeded by data gaps in basic biology, especially in the early life stages. Consequently, in 2004 and 2005 I examined reproductive ecology, larval recruitment, and lamprey...

Effects of grass seed agriculture on aquatic invertebrate communities in seasonal wetlands of the southern Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Wyss, Lance A.
Abstract:: An estimated 99% of native wet prairie has been lost in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, but a large number of seasonal wetlands remain on private lands dedicated to grass seed production within the historical wet prairie landscape. Because agriculture is known to alter physical and chemical wetland conditions, I investigated...

Coexistence of top predators in headwater streams : pathways of intraguild predation between Pacific Giant salamander larvae and cutthroat trout

Creator:: Rundio, David E.
Abstract:: The coexistence of multiple predators may have important consequences for the structure and function of communities. Interactions between predators may strongly affect their combined direct and indirect effects on prey populations and lower trophic levels. Predators often have size-structured populations, which may result in intraguild predation characterized by complex trophic...

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...

Structural Variations of Headwater Stream Food Webs Along Geophysical Gradients at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Zatkos, Lauren E.
Abstract:: The structure of food webs and how they relate to community stability has been an important debate in ecology. Specifically, predictability of web shape and how it influenced by surrounding landscapes is one of the main goals of such discussions. Headwater streams provide a study template that is of interest...

Habitat relationships of native and non-native fishes of the Willamette River, Oregon

Creator:: Williams, Joshua E.
Abstract:: The Willamette River flows north between the Cascade Mountains and Coast Range of western Oregon within a 29,728-km² basin. The fish community in the geologically young basin consists of 36 native species, but introductions of non-native fishes have added 33 additional species for a total of 69 fish species. During...

Where the Stream Meets the Road : Prioritizing Culvert Replacement for Fish Passage

Creator:: Reagan, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Streams across the world are highly fragmented due to the presence of in-stream barriers (e.g., dams and stream-road crossings), many of which restrict or block fish passage. Retrofitting or replacing these structures is a high priority for restoring habitat connectivity for native fishes and other aquatic organisms in the Pacific...

Relationships among in-stream physical habitat, land use, and geology in small coastal streams of northern Oregon

Creator:: Scott, Larissa E.
Abstract:: Salmonid populations in the Pacific Northwest are at historic lows and many populations continue to decline. Previous studies have linked salmonid declines to land use through degradation of in-stream physical habitat, but few of these studies have taken geology into consideration. This study relates habitat parameters known to be important...
