  • Stags of the Sea or Hedgehogs of the Harbor? Inferring the Point of Sculpin Cranial Weaponry

    Creator:
    Buser, Thaddaeus J.
    Abstract:
    Animal weapons are thought to have evolved to compete for reproductive opportunities within a species. Across the diverse weapon-bearing taxa, several evolutionary trends have emerged: (1) increasing complexity and relative size across ontogeny, (2) sexual dimorphism, and (3) higher levels of random deviations from symmetry (i.e., fluctuating asymmetry) than non-weaponized...

  • Skin Deep: An Assessment of New Zealand Blue Whale Skin Condition

    Creator:
    Barlow, Dawn R., Pepper, Acacia L., and Torres, Leigh G.
    Abstract:
    Skin condition assessment of wildlife can provide insight into individual and population health. Yet, logistics can limit skin condition assessment of large whales. We developed a standardized, quantitative protocol using photographs to assess skin condition of blue whales in New Zealand, and demonstrate the value gained by testing hypotheses, documenting...

  • Bycatch in the ocean shrimp Pandalus jordani fishery

    Creator:
    Hoover Krutzikowsky, Vicki
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research was to explore the impact of finfish bycatch on the ocean shrimp Pandalus jordani fishery using two methods. One method looked at the breakage of the shrimp by finfish bycatch in the nets. The other looked at the impact of bycatch on fishing decisions. At-sea...

  • Short-tailed weasel space use in managed forests of western Oregon

    Creator:
    Linnell, Mark A.
    Abstract:
    Although short-tailed weasels (Mustela erminea) are important predators of small mammals, little is known about their space use, habitat selection, or vulnerability to predation in North America. To evaluate the effects of forest management and social structure on home range size and habitat selection of short-tailed weasels, I conducted a...

  • Relative abundance and habitat associations of small mammals in two forest types in southern Oregon

    Creator:
    Johnston, Aaron N.
    Abstract:
    I studied small-mammal communities and their response to grazing in mixed-conifer forests and oak woodlands in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southern Oregon. My objectives were to (1) compare small-mammal communities among forest types and grazing intensities, (2) identify riparian affiliated species, and (3) describe microhabitat associations. Over two years,...

  • Herbivory by a north temperate stream fish, Acrocheilus alutaceus (Agassiz & Pickering)

    Creator:
    Lassuy, Dennis R.
    Abstract:
    Documentation of the seasonal feeding habits and ability to assimilate algae are presented for the first time for a North American grazing stream fish. The chiselmouth, Acrocheilus alutaceus, begins feeding on algal matter in early spring and has deposited large fat reserves prior to an early summer spawning season. A...

  • 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...

  • Responses to fertilization and fish stocking in the pelagic ecosystem of a naturally fishless lake

    Creator:
    Cameron, William A.
    Abstract:
    Ecologists have studied the responses of pelagic ecosystems to varying levels of nutrient loading and fish predation on many different scales ranging from small experimental enclosures to whole lake systems. There are recurring patterns of response to these two variables, which are generally predictable on the basis of biogeographic, behavioral,...
