Accounting for Transient Dynamics Improves use of Marine Protected Areas as a Reference Point for Fisheries Management

Creator:: Quennessen, Victoria I.
Abstract:: Fisheries management that is based on quantitative assessment has commonly relied on estimating the unfished biomass of a fished stock to compare current and historical population size. Developing predictive models for this requires many years of catch and abundance data. Smaller, new, or mainly recreational fisheries may not have the...

A Comparative Study of Foraging Behavior and Disturbance Regimes in Urban Versus Agricultural Habitats used by Cackling Geese Wintering in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Harrington, Erin R.
Abstract:: The Cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii minima) population has increased from a low of 20,000 in 1984 to the current population of 220,000-300,000 (Stehn 2012, Sanders 2013). As the Cackling goose population began to recover in the late 1990s, the majority of the population relocated from wintering in California to the...

Assessing biological values of Wetland Reserve Program wetlands for wintering waterfowl

Creator:: Evans-Peters, Graham, R.
Abstract:: The Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) is one conservation tool that mitigates national wetland loss and a primary goal for the program includes optimizing wildlife habitat by restoring wetland functions and values. Few studies have evaluated the WRP, which limits our understanding of its impact on wildlife populations. I assessed the...

Mechanisms affecting the bioaccumulation of dietary quinoline by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

Creator:: Dauble, Dennis D.
Abstract:: Factors that influenced the uptake, storage, and elimination of dietary quinoline by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were studied to obtain an understanding of the mechanisms affecting the bioaccumulation of dietary contaminants in teleosts. Rainbow trout readily absorbed ¹⁴C-quinoline from pelleted food (1% ration at 138 ug quinoline/g food) and most...

The ecology of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) foraging in Pacific Northwest ecosystems

Creator:: Evans-Peters, Sara Tondee
Abstract:: Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were first successfully introduced into Oregon and Washington in the 1960s; the population has grown in size and expanded in distribution to a point where it provides an important recreational hunting opportunity in both states that generates significant funds for habitat conservation and contributes financially to...

Factors associated with dusky Canada goose nesting and nest success on artificial nest islands of the western Copper River Delta

Creator:: Maggiulli, Nicole Marie
Abstract:: The population of dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis; hereafter, dusky geese) nesting on the western Copper River Delta (CRD) in south- central Alaska has been in decline since the late 1970s. In an effort to alleviate mammalian predation, increase nest success, and avoid a listing under the U.S. Endangered...

Growth and development of temperate and tropical passerines of the New World : a life history perspective

Creator:: Austin-Bythell, Suzanne H.
Abstract:: I studied developmental rates in a suite of temperate and tropical passerine bird species from the New World to test the hypothesis that tropical passerines exhibit slower patterns of growth and development than temperate birds. I also investigated how the expression of several developmental rates varied with life history traits...
