Twenty-year changes in riparian bird communities of east-central Oregon

Creator:: Ellis, Michael S.
Abstract:: Over the last 50 years, riparian zones in the semi-arid West have gained recognition as disproportionately important habitats for both breeding bird communities and agricultural operations. Despite growing interest in exploring avian-habitat relationships in these systems to better inform land management, few studies have attempted to describe temporal changes in...

The Effects of Tank Structure and Egg Size on the Production of Wild Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Surrogate Fish

Creator:: Self, Katharine E.
Abstract:: One of the biggest hurdles for a juvenile salmonid (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is migrating downstream from freshwater spawning grounds to the ocean. Juveniles from wild broodstock were reared from the South Santiam River for more than 1 year at the Oregon Hatchery Research Center (OHRC) in Alsea, OR. The fish were...

Evaluating the data-poor fishery stock assessment method, DB-SRA

Creator:: Owashi, Brandon R.
Abstract:: Depletion-Based Stock Reduction Analysis (DB-SRA; Dick and MacCall, 2011) is a catch-only fisheries stock assessment model that has been developed to estimate an overfishing limit (OFL) in data-poor situations. DB-SRA projects the biomass trajectories of a stock by means of a catch time series and five parameters: the instantaneous, per...

Roosevelt elk habitat use in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Witmer, Gary William
Abstract:: Daily and seasonal habitat use by Roosevelt elk was investigated in the Oregon Coast Range on managed, public forestland. Over 3,700 locations of 6 radio-collared cow elk were recorded during 12 consecutive months. Two elk formed part of a north band and 4 elk were part of a south band....

Effects of bark debris on benthic macro-fauna of Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Walker, John David
Abstract:: Benthic samples were collected during the summer, winter and spring seasons from upper Yaquina Estuary, a region used by Georgia- Pacific Corporation for log dumping and storage. Samples came from an active log dump and storage areas as well as areas not associated with log handling activity. The samples were...

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Calling Behavior In Southeast Alaska : A Study In Acoustic Ecology And Noise

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H.
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a widely distributed baleen whale species, well known for their diverse acoustic behavior. On high-latitude foraging grounds, humpback whales produce a suite of non-song vocalizations (“calls”) in concert with foraging and social behavior. In this dissertation I investigated the role of calls in the acoustic...

Habitat associations and determinants of refuge use in post-settlement lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus)

Creator:: Petrie, Megan E.
Abstract:: Lingcod are an overexploited fish species in the Pacific Northwest and although there has been extensive study of the habitat requirements of adults, particularly during spawning, relatively little is known regarding the habitat requirements of post-settlement juveniles. Many juvenile fish use structural components of habitat to alleviate the risk of...

Scale patterns indicate changes in use of rearing habitat by juvenile coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, from 1955 to 1984 in the Tenmile Lakes, Oregon

Creator:: Gunnarsdottir, Hugrun
Abstract:: This study was designed to provide information about the juvenile life history of coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, in the Tenmile Lakes in Oregon by 1) classifying scales of spawning fish and outgoing smolts (1+), 2) assessing the contribution of juvenile life history types to the returns of adults (3₂) and...

Disentangling bottom-up and top-down effects on survival during early ocean residence in a population of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Miller, Jessica A., Teel, David J., Baptista, Antonio, and Morgan, Cheryl A.
Abstract:: We evaluated the relative importance of "bottom-up" (production-limited) and "top-down" (predator-mediated) processes during early marine residence in a population of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from the upper Columbia River, USA. We examined length, mass, and condition index of age-0 juveniles collected in the ocean during June and September across 11...

The Influence of Wildfire and Invasive Vegetation on Mule Deer

Creator:: Schuyler, Elizabeth
Abstract:: The western United States has experienced large-scale degradation due to land use and land cover changes, invasion of annual grasses, and expansion of woody plants into grass and shrublands and the resultant altered fire regimes. These landscape-scale changes have coincided with declining mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations, making habitat loss...
