Juvenile Rockfish (Sebastes spp.) Community Composition and Habitat use of Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Lindsley, Amy J.
Abstract:: Estuaries, which provide viable habitat for a plethora of fish and invertebrate species, are being increasingly impacted by anthropogenic and natural forces. Estuaries are important nursery habitat for young-of-the-year (YOY) Pacific rockfish (Sebastes spp.). Yaquina Bay, a marine-dominated estuary on the central Oregon Coast, served as a study site for...

Movement Patterns of Rockfishes at the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve, Oregon

Creator:: Calvanese, Thomas P.
Abstract:: The effects of Marine protected areas (MPAs) on adult fish populations depend on the degree of protection provided, which is partly a function of MPA size and the spatial extent of fish movements. The Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve (RRMR) and MPA, located on the south coast of Oregon near Port...

Evaluation of a U.S. West coast groundfish habitat conservation regulation via analysis of spatial and temporal patterns of trawl fishing efforts

Creator:: Bellman, Marlene A.
Abstract:: Recent emphasis on linkages between essential fish habitat and fish stock productivity has raised concerns about the management of fishing activities such as trawling, which have the potential to impact fish habitat. Knowing specifically where and how intensively trawl effort has occurred over time provides ecologists with the necessary background...

Variation in the energy density of forage fishes and invertebrates from the southeastern Bering Sea

Creator:: Whitman, Luke D.
Abstract:: The quality and availability of forage fishes and invertebrates can affect the behavior and productivity of predators that rely on these resources. This study measures the proximate composition of forage fishes and invertebrates from the southeastern Bering Sea to estimate prey energy density (quality) using a method that is ecologically...

Impacts of Range Management Decisions on Native Pollinators: Innovative Grazing Practices and Riparian Restoration

Creator:: Mitchell, Scott R.
Abstract:: Animal pollination is critical to plant reproduction in agricultural and wildland ecosystems. Much of the production of seeds and fruits in natural areas, which underlie many food webs, depends on pollination services by insects. The taxon responsible for delivering the bulk of these services in most temperate systems is bees....

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...

Long Term Trends and Sources of Sound in United States Waters

Creator:: Haver, Samara M.
Abstract:: Passive acoustic monitoring is a valuable tool for observing the status of marine environments. Comparisons of underwater soundscapes over temporal and spatial scales can provide data to inform marine conservation efforts, including protection of threatened and endangered species. This dissertation utilizes passive acoustic data collected via a broadly spaced array...

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...

Beached Bones: Exploring the Genetic Impact of Exploitation on the Diversity of Great Whales in the South Atlantic

Creator:: Sremba, Angela L.
Abstract:: Commercial whaling during the 20th century drastically reduced many populations of great whales in the Southern Hemisphere. The Antarctic blue whale, for example, is estimated to have been reduced to less than 0.1% of its original abundance based on catch records and population dynamic models. Despite this population bottleneck, several...

All in a DNA's work : conservation genetics and monitoring of the New Zealand endemic Maui's and Hector's dolphins

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...
