Effect of adult aquatic insect life history on return to Lookout Creek, H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Farrand, Alexander Mark
Abstract:: Aquatic insects that emerge out of streams to mate represent a potential energy flux to terrestrial food webs. The relative success of an individual aquatic adult insect is whether it survives long enough to produce offspring, i.e. mate and return to the stream to oviposit eggs. Some characteristics of the...

Pre- and Post-settlement Processes of Northern Rock Sole (Lepidopsetta polyxystra) in Relation to Interannual Variability in Temperature and Productivity in the Gulf of Alaska

Creator:: Fedewa, Erin J.
Abstract:: Understanding the effects of climate variability on growth dynamics and timing of early life history events in marine fishes can provide insights into survival, recruitment and productivity. Field collections (2005, 2007, 2009-2011) were combined with otolith microstructural analysis to examine interannual variation in larval and juvenile growth rates, size at...

A hierarchical stream habitat classification system: development and demonstration

Creator:: Frissell, Christopher A.
Abstract:: Classification of Streams and stream habitats is useful for research involving establishment of monitoring stations, determining local impacts of land use practices, generalization from site-specific data, and assessment of basin-wide, cumulative impacts of human activities on streams and their biota. This thesis presents a framework for a hierarchical classification system,...

Patterns of loggerhead turtle ontogenetic shifts revealed through isotopic analysis of annual skeletal growth increments

Creator:: Ramirez, Matthew D., Avens, Larisa, Seminoff, Jeffrey A., Goshe, Lisa R., and Heppell, Selina S.
Abstract:: Ontogenetic changes in resource use often delimit transitions between life stages. Ecological and individual factors can cause variation in the timing and consistency of these transitions, ultimately affecting community and population dynamics through changes in growth and survival. Therefore, it is important to document and understand behavioral and life history...

Utilization of dietary protein by the mussel, Mytilus edulis trossulus (Linnaeus 1758)

Creator:: Kreeger, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Protein microcapsules (PM) were developed as a tool for investigating aspects of dietary protein utilization by mussels, Mytilus edulis trossulus. Digestion of PM in vitro by protease, trypsin, amylase and extracts from the gut of mussels varied significantly depending on the type of protein encapsulated or whether carbohydrates were added...

Development of the fisheries of the Eastern North Pacific : a natural-cultural systems perspective

Creator:: Deimling, Elisabeth A.
Abstract:: The eastern margin of the Eastern North Pacific Ocean was classified into physiographic regions based on a suite of physical characteristics. Information on cultural and biological characteristics of this area was meshed with this classification. The result was a classification of the Eastern North Pacific into natural-cultural systems whose boundaries...

Using DNA Metabarcoding to Study Interactions Between Native Bees and Plants: Technical Developments and Applications

Creator:: Arstingstall, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Pollination is an essential ecosystem service that sustains functioning ecosystems and aids in food production. In response to recent, widespread declines of managed and native bee populations, many land managers have shown interest in developing conservation and restoration plans for enhancing native bee habitat. However, there is a lack of...

Microencapsulation of water-soluble substances for delivery to marine bivalves

Creator:: Buchal, Michael A.
Abstract:: A new method for encapsulating low-molecular weight, water-soluble substances in lipid-walled microcapsules (LWMs) for delivery to marine bivalves was developed, characterized, and tested. LWMs produced by a spray technique (spray microcapsules, SMs) were demonstrated to encapsulate both aqueous (polymeric dye or oxytetracycline hydrochloride) and particulate (riboflavin) core materials within a...

Floodplain vegetation following over 80 years of intensive land use and de-watering : Lower Owens River, California

Creator:: Risso, Derek A.
Abstract:: Riparian areas in the arid western United States are critical ecosystems that have been severely degraded by a variety of land and water uses over the last 100 years. In this study, the composition and structure of floodplain vegetation along the Lower Owens River in eastern California was quantitatively described...

Changes in the swimming performance, behavior and physiology of juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytcha) after exposure to one, two or three acute handling stresses

Creator:: Sigismondi, Linda A.
Abstract:: The performance of an organism or organismic subsystem is the result of the interaction between the performance capacity of the system and Its environment. Environmental conditions can stress an organism and thus affect it's performance. In this study, three whole organism performances were examined: critical swimming speed, fatigue time and...
