Bioenergetic evaluation of diel vertical migration by bull trout

Creator:: Eckmann, Madeleine
Abstract:: I evaluated hypotheses related to growth as a driver of depth use and diel vertical migration by bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in a thermally stratified reservoir. I applied a bioenergetic model to evaluate growth of bull trout in relation to potential patterns of diel depth use by bull trout in...

Provisioning, growth and survival of Adélie penguin chicks at Cape Crozier, Ross Island, Antarctica

Creator:: Jennings, Scott
Abstract:: Understanding the factors that contribute to or limit reproductive success is a fundamental objective of the field of ecology, providing insight into the ways ecosystems function and facilitating better management of natural resources. Behaviors that benefit offspring often increase costs to parents, and thus parents must adjust their level of...

The Influence of Alternate Life History Strategies and Natal Conditions on the Reproductive Performance of Adélie Penguins Breeding on Ross Island, Antarctica

Creator:: Kappes, Peter J.
Abstract:: A fundamental objective of ecology and population biology is to identify factors that drive population dynamics and determine the population-level consequences of their interaction with the environment. Studies of reproductive performance can illuminate population dynamic processes, including the links between organismal biology, the environment, and life history theory. A central...

The relative contribution of climate to changes in lesser prairie-chicken abundance

Creator:: Ross, Beth E., Haukos, David, Hagen, Christian, and Pitman, James
Abstract:: Managing for species using current weather patterns fails to incorporate the uncertainty associated with future climatic conditions; without incorporating potential changes in climate into conservation strategies, management and conservation efforts may fall short or waste valuable resources. Understanding the effects of climate change on species in the Great Plains of...

Climate Change Winners: Receding Ice Fields Facilitate Colony Expansion and Altered Dynamics in an Adélie Penguin Metapopulation

Creator:: LaRue, Michelle A., Ainley, David G., Swanson, Matt, Dugger, Katie M., Lyver, Phil O'B., Barton, Kerry, and Ballard, Grant
Abstract:: There will be winners and losers as climate change alters the habitats of polar organisms. For an Adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colony on Beaufort Island (Beaufort), part of a cluster of colonies in the southern Ross Sea, we report a recent population increase in response to increased nesting habitat as...

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...

The role of body size in the foraging strategies and management of avian herbivores : a comparison of dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis) and cackling geese (B. hutchinsii minima) wintering in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Mini, Anne E.
Abstract:: Body size explains much of the interspecific variation in the physiology, behavior, and morphology of birds, such as metabolic rate, diet selection, intake rate, gut size, and bill size. Based on mass-specific metabolic requirements and relative energetic costs of activities, being a certain body size has both advantages and disadvantages....

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) production in tropical microcosms fertilized with rabbit excreta

Creator:: Franco, Luis
Abstract:: This investigation explored the use of microcosms as a tool for studying the dynamics of tropical aquaculture ponds. The potential use of rabbit excreta as a pond fertilizer in integrated farming systems was also investigated. Twelve insulated fiber glass tanks were utilized as microcosms to simulate earthen ponds. Seven hand-sexed...
