You are What, When, Where, and How you Eat : Mercury in Avian Food Webs across Multiple Spatial Scales

Creator:: Jackson, Allyson K.
Abstract:: Human alterations of landscapes take many forms, one of which is anthropogenic pollution. Mercury (Hg) is a complex contaminant because its uptake into the food web is not driven entirely by loading to the system; methylation is necessary to make Hg bioavailable and toxic to fish and wildlife. Because methylation...

Year-class regulation of mid-upper Columbia River spring Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha : the role of juvenile size, growth, and migratory behavior

Creator:: Tomaro, Londi M.
Abstract:: Early ocean residence is assumed to be a critical period for juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. However, the specific mechanisms influencing growth and survival in the ocean have not been identified for most populations. Therefore, three hypotheses regarding the relationship between early marine residence and subsequent survival of mid-upper Columbia...

Worldwide phylogeography and local population structure of the rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis)

Creator:: Albertson, G. Renee
Abstract:: Several dolphin species have global distributions. The extent of their radiation and limits to gene flow are presumably a product of oceanographic features both recent and historical, behavioral specializations and social organization. Rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical waters and are generally found in depths...

Winter ecology of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in modified and unmodified sections of a coastal stream

Creator:: Phillips, Stephen H. (Stephen Homes), 1957-
Abstract:: Natural and gabion modified habitats containing coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were observed and measured seasonally in East Fork Lobster Creek, a fifth order stream in western Oregon. Coho salmon usually inhabited backwater and secondary channel pools in winter. Large wood debris complexes and undercut banks were the primary sources of...

Why aren't pigeon guillemots in Prince William Sound, Alaska recovering from the Exxon Valdez oil spill?

Creator:: Bixler, Kirsten S.
Abstract:: The Pigeon Guillemot (Cepphus columba) is now the only species of marine bird in Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska that is listed as "not recovering" on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) Trustee Council's Injured Resources List and has shown no sign of population recovery. During the 20 years since...

White-breasted nuthatch density and nesting ecology in oak woodlands of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Viste-Sparkman, Karen
Abstract:: Habitat loss causes a reduction in available resources for wildlife, alters the configuration of remaining habitat, and may isolate wildlife populations. White-breasted nuthatches (Sitta carolinensis) are experiencing long-term population declines in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where they are historically associated with oak woodlands. As secondary cavity-nesters, white-breasted nuthatches may...

Where the Stream Meets the Road : Prioritizing Culvert Replacement for Fish Passage

Creator:: Reagan, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Streams across the world are highly fragmented due to the presence of in-stream barriers (e.g., dams and stream-road crossings), many of which restrict or block fish passage. Retrofitting or replacing these structures is a high priority for restoring habitat connectivity for native fishes and other aquatic organisms in the Pacific...

Wavelet analysis : linking multi-scalar pattern detection to ecological monitoring

Creator:: Anthony, Jill Ada Marie
Abstract:: Wavelet analysis is an analytical and modeling tool for optimizing sampling efficiency and accuracy, particularly in the context of designing long-term, large-scale monitoring plans. As a pattern analysis method that accommodates and preserves non-stationarity, wavelet analysis provides novel visualization and analytical capabilities for increased insight into interactions between multi-scalar heterogeneous...

Visible Implant Elastomer (VIE) Tags for Marking Small Rainbow Trout

Creator:: Leblanc, C. A. and Noakes, D. L.
Abstract:: Being able to individually follow fish <40 mm in length is a challenge for fish research. In the present study we examined whether the use of visible implant elastomer (VIE) tags is suitable for research on first-feeding rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss raised under laboratory conditions. We assessed the effect of...
