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...

Value of Prior and Novel Information in Managing a Mixed-Stock Recreational Chinook Salmon Fishery

Creator:: Jensen, Alexander J.
Abstract:: Many economically important Pacific salmon fisheries along the west coast of North America are mixed-stock, recreational systems, in which managers strive to account for interactions between fish, anglers, and management policy while balancing fishery access against conservation of vulnerable stocks. Specific challenges facing fisheries managers include limited control over angling...

Utilizing Fishermen Knowledge and Expertise: Keys to Success for Collaborative Fisheries Research

Creator:: Yochum, Noelle, Starr, Richard M., and Wendt, Dean E.
Abstract:: Collaborative fisheries research provides a mechanism for integrating the unique knowledge, experience, and skills of fishermen and scientists. It is a joint intellectual endeavor that begins with the inception of a project and continues until its final stages, with each group having mutual investment in-and ownership of-the project. Collaborative fisheries...

Trophic dynamics of marine nekton and zooplankton in the Northern California Current ecosystem

Creator:: Miller, Todd William
Abstract:: The Northern California Current (NCC) ecosystem exhibits extreme seasonal, interannual and interdecadal shifts in the abiotic environment and shifts in primary and higher production. This variability is also apparent in the spatial structure of the ecosystem with nearshore-shelf waters (<150 m isobath) being highly productive and having a different community...

Transferability of models to predict selection of cover by coastal cutthroat trout in small streams in western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Andersen, Heidi V.
Abstract:: We assessed use and selection of cover by coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii) in six headwater streams in three watersheds in western Oregon, USA during the summer low flow period from 1 August and September 30, 2007. We tagged 1037 coastal cutthroat trout (>100 mm) with passive integrated transponder...

The relationships between fluctuations in oceanographic conditions, forage fishes, predatory fishes, predator food habits, and juvenile salmonid marine survival off the Columbia River

Creator:: Emmett, Robert L.
Abstract:: Salmonid run sizes are strongly affected by their early marine stage. Fully understanding the life history of salmonids means understanding how they interact with their marine environment and with other fishes. Changes in the biological and physical environment off the Columbia River region affects the distribution and abundance of predatory...

The migratory pattern of audlt sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in Bristol Bay as related to the distribution of their home-river waters

Creator:: Straty, Richard R.
Abstract:: The individual stocks of sockeye salmon that make up the annual spawning migration to the Bristol Bay region of Western Alaska are produced in the lakes and streams of ten major river systems, which discharge into the bay over a shoreline distance of 120 miles. The hypothesis adopted in this...

The Influence of Scale in a Structured Decision Making Framework for Chinook Salmon Management

Creator:: McDonnell, Kevin N.
Abstract:: The goal of my dissertation was to explore how scale influences stream restoration prioritization strategies for an anadromous species and identify influential uncertainties that exist at different scales. My objectives were to (1) produce a comprehensive review of the Chinook salmon management challenges in California’s Central Valley and identify the...
