A new species of western Atlantic lizardfish (Teleostei: Synodontidae: Synodus) and resurrection of Synodus bondi Fowler, 1939, as a valid species from the Caribbean with redescriptions of S. bondi, S. foetens (Linnaeus, 1766), and S. intermedius (Agassiz, 1829)

Creator:: Frable, Benjamin W., Baldwin, Carole C., Luther, Brendan M., and Weigt, Lee A.
Abstract:: Western Atlantic synodontid species were studied as part of an ongoing effort to reanalyze Caribbean shorefish diversity. A neighbor-joining tree constructed from cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) data revealed 2 highly divergent genetic lineages within both Synodus intermedius (Agassiz, 1829) (Sand Diver) and S. foetens (Linnaeus, 1766) (Inshore Lizardfish). A...

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...

Population Differentiation in two Northeastern Pacific Marine Species

Creator:: Curran, Lorne Sullivan
Abstract:: Population genetic techniques are now preeminent in differentiating wild populations. Natural resource managers rely on them in their efforts to restore viable populations of fish and wildlife. Overfishing adversely impacted Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) on the U.S. West Coast in the late 20th century. Management actions included shutting down the...

Patterns of natural selection and demography in coastal Oregon coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) populations : evidence from neutral and olfactory receptor gene-linked markers

Creator:: Johnson, Marc Aaron
Abstract:: For Pacific salmon, the evolution of local adaptations depends upon the species' propensity to return, or "home", to natal streams at time of reproduction. Pacific salmon use olfactory cues to guide homing behavior, yet little is known about the genetics of olfaction in salmon. In this study, I use putatively...

Mate choice of wild spawning coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in the Umpqua River, Oregon

Creator:: Whitcomb, Amelia C.
Abstract:: Evidence for reduced reproductive success (RS) of wild spawning hatchery-reared fish invites serious consideration with regard to the detrimental effects on subsequent generations of wild populations. Mate choice was evaluated as a potential mechanism contributing to these observed RS differences using a previous pedigree of wild spawning hatchery-reared and wild...

Using parasite community data and population genetics for assessing Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) population structure along the west coast of North America

Creator:: Baldwin, Rebecca E. B.
Abstract:: Pacific sardines (Sardinops sagax) are an economically and ecologically important forage fish which transfer energy from planktonic primary producers and secondary consumers to upper trophic predators. Previous genetics studies of Pacific sardine suggested a panmictic population with a shallow genetic structure. However, more than one subpopulation within the Central California...

Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the South Pacific breeding grounds : an allocation from feeding areas and an abundance estimate of whales specific to French Polynesia waters

Creator:: Gibb, Giselle Renee
Abstract:: South Pacific humpback whales were devastated by commercial whaling in their Antarctic feeding areas during the 20th century. Understanding migratory connections and current abundance of these isolated breeding stocks is crucial for the allocation of historical Antarctic catches in population dynamic models used to assess current recovery. However, only a...

Influence of Oceanographic Conditions on Copepod (Calanus pacificus) Genetic Expression

Creator:: Bynes, Kenya S.
Abstract:: RNAseq data among copepods (Calanus pacificus) were sampled and analyzed in relation to oceanographic and climatic conditions to determine if new information derived from such an approach might assist applications that use copepods as ecosystem indicators to predict fishery yields. These samples were taken as part of long-term studies conducted...

An investigation into the genetic basis of migration timing in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: O'Malley, Kathleen G.
Abstract:: The genetic basis of adaptation is complex as many fitness-related traits are quantitative and likely influenced by multiple genes with variable effects across different selective environments. One important adaptation for anadromous Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is the time at which individuals return to natal breeding sites within a reproductive season....

Thirty-four Kilometers and Fifteen Years : Rapid Adaptation at a Novel Chromosomal Inversion in Recently Introduced Deschutes River Three-spined Stickleback

Creator:: Hemstrom, William
Abstract:: Rapid adaptation and evolution based on standing genetic variation and novel mutations is likely to be one of the primary ways that species survive the widespread anthropogenic environmental changes expected of the next century. Three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) are known to be capable of extremely quick, dramatic adaptation in response...
