Patterns of distribution, abundance, and change over time in the marine bird community of Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1989-2012

Creator:: Cushing, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Over recent decades, the marine ecosystems of Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska have experienced the concurrent effects of a major anthropogenic disturbance, the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), and a dynamic atmospheric-oceanic environment. Studies of top marine consumers can provide insights into processes of ecosystem change. Using data collected...

An Evaluation of Collaborative Salmon Fishery Management in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Sheridan, Thomas M.
Abstract:: Collaborative decision-making is often promoted as a means to achieve socially acceptable and enduring solutions to natural resource management issues, and one that holds promise for resolving “wicked” problems. However, success rates for implementation of collaborative recommendations are unknown. This paper explores challenges to collaborative salmon fishery management in Prince...

Ecology of harlequin ducks in Prince William Sound, Alaska, during summer

Creator:: Dzinbal, Kenneth A.
Abstract:: Harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) were observed during the summers of 1979 and 1980 in Sawmill Bay, northeast Prince William Sound, Alaska. Harlequins were associated with a short, medium gradient, non-glacial stream (Stellar Creek) also used by salmon. Although harlequins nested along Stellar Creek, they apparently did not establish home ranges...

Genetic diversity in coastal cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Griswold, Kitty E.
Abstract:: Genetic diversity of two salmonid species, Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) and coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in Prince William Sound, Alaska were examined at multiple spatial scales with three molecular markers. Pleistocene glaciers covered what is now Prince William Sound 8,000- 12,000 years ago and both species colonized the...

Range-use estimation and encounter probability for juvenile Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in the Prince William Sound-Kenai Fjords region of Alaska

Creator:: Meck, Stephen R.
Abstract:: Range, areas of concentrated activity, and dispersal characteristics for juvenile Steller sea lions Eumetopias jubatus in the endangered western population (west of 144° W in the Gulf of Alaska) are poorly understood. This study quantified space use by analyzing post-release telemetric tracking data from satellite transmitters externally attached to n...

Spatial and temporal distribution of juvenile Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) predation events in the Gulf of Alaska

Creator:: Vazquez, Norma A.
Abstract:: The first objective of this study was to quantify the intensity of space use of 70 juvenile (12-26 months old) Steller sea lions (SSLs) from the western Distinct Population Segment (DPS) in the Kenai Fjord(KF)/Prince William Sound (PWS) region of Alaska as derived from externally attached ARGOS satellite transmitter tags....

Why aren't pigeon guillemots in Prince William Sound, Alaska recovering from the Exxon Valdez oil spill?

Creator:: Bixler, Kirsten S.
Abstract:: The Pigeon Guillemot (Cepphus columba) is now the only species of marine bird in Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska that is listed as "not recovering" on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) Trustee Council's Injured Resources List and has shown no sign of population recovery. During the 20 years since...

Effects of diet and crude oil ingestion on growth and biochemistry of captive-reared pigeon guillemots (Cepphus columba)

Creator:: Hovey, Andrew K.
Abstract:: The pigeon guillemot (Cepphus columba) population in Prince William Sound has failed to recover from declines that occurred both before and after the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS). Post-spill studies of pigeon guillemot breeding biology have identified three potential factors limiting recovery: (1) predation on eggs and nestlings; (2) declines...

Behavioral constraints on harlequin duck population recovery from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Rizzolo, Daniel J.
Abstract:: I investigated the relationship between harlequin duck (Histrionicus histrionicus) behavior and lack of recovery from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska. First, I evaluated the hypothesis that harlequin ducks in winter have little flexibility to increase foraging time in response to disturbance because they are constrained...
