Resource Selection and Space Use of Western Long-eared Myotis (Myotis evotis) in a Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) Woodland of Central Oregon

Creator:: Anthony, Christopher R.
Abstract:: Identifying habitat and spatial requirements of wildlife species across multiple spatial scales is a challenging, yet crucial component of wildlife management. Habitat use of bats is particularly difficult to study, and managing habitat to conserve bats is especially challenging because bats are highly vagile organisms that exploit several different types...

Population Ecology of the Mariana Swiftlet (Aerodramus bartschi) on O'ahu, Hawaiian Islands

Creator:: Johnson, Nathan Christopher
Abstract:: The Mariana Swiftlet (Aerodramus bartschi) (Aves: Apodidae) is endemic to the Mariana Islands, where it currently occurs on Saipan, Aguiguan, and Guam. An introduced population of Mariana Swiftlets is also present on O'ahu in the Hawaiian Islands. Sparing interference with the endangered population in the Marianas, the introduced, surrogate population...

Thermal Ecology and Population Dynamics of Female Greater Sage-Grouse Following Wildfire in the Trout Creek Mountains of Oregon and Nevada

Creator:: Anthony, Christopher R.
Abstract:: The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) is a ground nesting gallinaceous bird that requires large contiguous patches of sagebrush. Sage-grouse populations have declined, especially in the Great Basin where changes in wildfire regimes and the invasion of annual grasses have contributed to habitat loss and fragmentation. During the last...

Ecophysiology of Marine Bivalves : Physiological Rate Processes in Dynamic Environments

Creator:: Gray, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Marine bivalves are globally recognized as ecologically and commercially valuable species and, for over a century, researchers have been studying their feeding, digestion and other related physiological processes. These studies have shown that marine bivalves have complex feeding and particle processing behaviors to maximize growth in dynamic environmental conditions. Additionally,...

Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana) behavior and response to wetland habitat management at Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge on Kaua'i

Creator:: Malachowski, Christopher P.
Abstract:: The endangered Hawaiian Duck (koloa maoli; Anas wyvilliana), a non-migratory and island-endemic species, experienced a significant population decline during the twentieth century due to factors such as habitat loss, overharvest, introduced mammalian predators, and hybridization with introduced feral Mallards (A. platyrhynchos). A key objective for Hawaiian Duck recovery is to...

Movement Ecology and Population Dynamics of the Endangered Hawaiian Duck (Anas wyvilliana)

Creator:: Malachowski, Christopher P.
Abstract:: Fundamental objectives in the field of conservation biology involve understanding the processes that influence small and declining populations and applying that knowledge to develop appropriate monitoring strategies and targeted management and conservation actions. Critical first steps in determining the relative role of factors that drive population declines involves estimation of...

Use of extractable lipofuscin as an age biomarker to determine age structure of ghost shrimp (Neotrypaea californiensis) populations in west coast estuaries

Creator:: Cassidy, Katelyn M.
Abstract:: Determining age in crustaceans is inherently imprecise because they molt periodically and do not retain hard structures throughout their lifespan. Morphological measurements, such as carapace length, are often used to estimate age because methods for direct ageing do not exist. However, variability in individual growth rate and molt frequency can...

Enhanced production of Pacific dulse (Palmaria mollis) for co-culture with abalone in a land-based system

Creator:: Demetropoulos, Carl Lee
Abstract:: Palmaria mollis (Pacific dulse) is increasingly being used in land-based marine aquaculture. This work elucidates nutrient, inorganic carbon, light, salinity, and temperature requirements of P. mollis as food for abalone species. Nutrient additions every 5 to 7 days resulted in no significant difference in P. mollis growth compared with daily...

Growth and survival of zebrafish, Brachydanio rerio, larvae fed on two types of microparticulate diets

Creator:: Onal, Umur
Abstract:: Effects of diet and container type on growth and survival of altricial zebrafish, Brachydanio rerio, larvae were determined. Microfeast® L- 10 (MF) supported growth and survival of zebrafish larvae during the first 10-12 days. Best results were obtained with larvae fed on a combination of MF and Artemia nauplii in...
