Reducing Impacts of Double-crested Cormorants to Natural Resources in Central New York: A Review of a Collaborative Research, Management, and Monitoring Program

Creator:: DeVault, Travis L., Chipman, Richard B., Barras, Scott C., Taylor, Jimmy D., Cranker, Carl P. III, Cranker, Elizabeth M., and Farquhar, James F.
Abstract:: Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) have used central New York waters for breeding and stopover habitats during migration since 1984. In response to public concern over Oneida Lake, the United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation initiated an integrated research, management and...

Feeding behavior and diet of native bull trout Salvelinus confluentus and introduced brook trout S. fontinalis in two Eastern Oregon streams

Creator:: Gunckel, Stephanie L.
Abstract:: One of the greatest threats to native bull trout Salvelinus confluentus populations is the presence of non-native brook trout S. fontinalis. This study, conducted in two second-order Eastern Oregon streams, investigates the effect of brook trout on the feeding behavior arid diet of bull trout. Feeding behavior, microhabitat use, and...

The importance of egg size for the diversity of salmonids

Creator:: Leblanc, Camille A.
Abstract:: Understanding the origin and nature of intra specific biodiversity enables us to better conserve and manage animal populations. Biological diversity is seen at different scales and for different traits such as behavior, morphology, physiology, and life history. Behavior is especially important since behavioral changes are believed to precede changes in...

Jumping in with Both Feet: Exploring Factors that Shape Juvenile Amphibian Movement

Creator:: Bredeweg, Evan M.
Abstract:: Investigation into how animals move within the landscape is important for both understanding of ecological processes and conservation management. Animal movement is important in shaping life history transitions, demographics, individual fitness, and species distributions. However, as landscapes become increasingly affected by human activities, movement becomes important as species navigate landscapes...

Amphibian communities and climate change : Where ecological processes meet evolutionary interactions

Creator:: Thurman, Lindsey L.
Abstract:: Forecasts of the impacts of climate change have traditionally focused on individual species and their phenotypes, phenology, or distribution. However, shifts in species distributions and the resulting reorganization of community composition represent an important violation to the assumption of species acting in isolation. Whereas species may respond individualistically to climate...

Evaluating the Effects of a Parasitic Copepod (Salmincola californiensis) on the Performance of Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Neal, William T.
Abstract:: Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) rearing in lakes and reservoirs have been known to become heavily infected with an ectoparasitic copepod (Salmincola californiensis). Little is known about the factors that affect the parasite infection prevalence and intensity. However, previous research suggests that the parasite may negatively affect the fitness and survival...

Distribution and habitat use of bull trout following the removal of nonnative brook trout

Creator:: Renner, Dirk
Abstract:: Invasion by nonnative brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) often results in replacement of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in western North America, but the causal mechanisms are not well understood. Removal of brook trout from 1992 to 2000 from Sun Creek in southern Oregon, provided an opportunity to investigate the changes in...

The Ecophysiology of Thiamine Deficiency Complex : Evaluating Sources of Thiaminase in Great Lakes Food Webs

Creator:: Evans, Allison N.
Abstract:: Thiamine (vitamin B₁) is required by all living organisms for carbohydrate metabolism and synthesis of amino acids. Thiamine deficiency is responsible for several related classes of early life stage mortality disorders in salmonines, including Thiamine Deficiency Complex (TDC) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, Cayuga Syndrome in the Finger Lakes, and...

Invasive bullfrog use of novel ephemeral habitats in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Cook, Megan Tetsuko
Abstract:: Invasive species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Understanding the mechanisms underlying successful invasions is imperative for developing effective management strategies. Plasticity in physiological, morphological, and behavioral traits could be an indicator of invasion potential in non-native species. The invasive American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) has recently been observed breeding...

Effects of o,p'-DDE on the immune system of juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Milston, Ruth Helen
Abstract:: Environmental factors such as chemical contamination can have immunomodulatory effects on the immune response of fish and may be contributing to the decline in salmonid populations by augmenting disease susceptibility. Xenobiotics can interfere with the immune system at several levels of complexity, and different immune cells and processes have variable...
