Seasonal movement patterns and habitat use of westslope cutthroat trout in two headwater tributary streams of the John Day River

Creator:: Starcevich, Steven J.
Abstract:: Radiotelemetry was used to study the seasonal movements and habitat use of adult westslope cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki lewisi in Roberts Creek and Rail Creek, headwater tributaries of the John Day River, Oregon, from September 2000 to December 2001. The objectives were to (1) describe adult cutthroat trout life history...

Spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes

Creator:: Gomez-Uchida, Daniel
Abstract:: Pacific rockfishes (genus Sebastes) have attracted wide scientific and public interest from an evolutionary, fishery and conservation standpoints. This dissertation addresses several hypotheses involving spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes, darkblotched (S. crameri) and canary rockfish (S. pinniger), using statistical analyses of genetic variation within...

Greater sage-grouse movements and habitat use during winter in central Oregon

Creator:: Bruce, Jennifer R.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a sagebrush obligate species, has contracted in extent by nearly half its original distribution. This is primarily due to habitat loss and degradation over the past 150 years. During winter, sage-grouse depend completely on sagebrush habitat for food and cover, yet sage-grouse winter ecology has been...

Impacts of forest-to-agriculture conversion on aboveground and soil carbon and nitrogen stocks along a bioclimatic gradient in Costa Rica

Creator:: Jobse, Judith C.
Abstract:: Tropical forest-to-agriculture conversions contribute to ~20% of contemporary global C emissions. Current global C flux estimates assume C is lost from vegetation and soils over time due to this conversion, and that C stocks in agricultural lands are fairly uniform across the tropics. Global C stock and flux estimates may...

Characterization of the physiological stress response in lingcod

Creator:: Milston, Ruth H., Davis, Michael W., Parker, Steven J., Olla, Bori L., Clements, Shaun, and Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to describe the duration and magnitude of the physiological stress response in lingcod Ophiodon elongatus after exposure to brief handling and sublethal air stressors. The response to these stressors was determined during a 24‐h recovery period by measuring concentrations of plasma cortisol, lactate, glucose,...

Life histories of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Columbia River estuary as inferred from scale and otolith microchemistry

Creator:: Campbell, Lance A.
Abstract:: Despite evidence that juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) utilize North Pacific estuaries for growth and salinity acclimation, research in the Columbia River estuary has lead to opposing hypotheses about the estuary’s importance as a salmon rearing environment. Many contemporary tagging studies indicate that salmon residency within the estuary is short...

Survival and behavior of juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in two small estuaries in Oregon

Creator:: Romer, Jeremy D.
Abstract:: A number of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations are at risk throughout Oregon, including five populations that are federally listed as threatened or endangered. However, little is known about behavior and survival of these fish as they transition from freshwater to seawater. We investigated whether estuarine survival varies on a temporal...

Utilization of mineral sites by bandtailed pigeons

Creator:: Passmore, Michael Forrest
Abstract:: The occurrence of band-tailed pigeons (Columba fasciata) three mineral sites in Western Oregon was studied during the summers of 1974-1976. Objectives of the study were o: determine seasonal patterns of utilization of mineral sites by pigeons of different sex and age classes; determine productivity of pigeon populations associated with Mineral...

Physiological ecology of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) rearing in fluctuating salinity environments

Creator:: Hackmann, Crystal R.
Abstract:: Estuaries provide juvenile salmonids with highly productive feeding grounds, refugia from tidal fluctuations and predators, and acclimation areas for smoltification. However, these dynamic, fluctuating salinity environments may also be physiologically stressful to growing juvenile fish. In order to evaluate the costs and benefits of estuarine marshes to juvenile Chinook salmon,...

Seasonal changes in distribution of coastal cutthroat trout in an isolated watershed

Creator:: Hendricks, Steve
Abstract:: In an effort to identify seasonal distribution patterns and habitat requirements of coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki clarki, movement of tagged and marked individuals (35 radio-tagged, 753 PIT-tagged, and 5,322 fin-clipped) was monitored over a 14-month period in an isolated watershed in southwestern Oregon. Emigration out of the basin was...
