Defining micro-habitat relationships for juvenile black rockfish, Sebastes melanops

Creator:: Mann, Marion E.
Abstract:: The functioning of marine habitats needs to be understood in the context of the ecological relationships and associations between organisms and the physical and biogenic environment they inhabit. Thus, it becomes important to explore and define habitat features which contribute to these relationships and which are important in the life...

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Calling Behavior In Southeast Alaska : A Study In Acoustic Ecology And Noise

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H.
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a widely distributed baleen whale species, well known for their diverse acoustic behavior. On high-latitude foraging grounds, humpback whales produce a suite of non-song vocalizations (“calls”) in concert with foraging and social behavior. In this dissertation I investigated the role of calls in the acoustic...

Combining Disparate Data Sources with Ecosystem and Integrated Models: Case Studies for Improving Management of Protected Species

Creator:: Chasco, Brandon E.
Abstract:: Globally, the number of threatened species is increasing and conserving them is a high priority to the scientific community. Assessing the status of these protected species is challenging due to missing, contested, and or contradictory data streams. Integrated models (IMs) provide a statistical framework for combining disparate data sources to...

Formulation of a synthetic seawater for bioassays with Mytilus edulis embryos

Creator:: Courtright, Robert Carl
Abstract:: Commerical preparations and published formulations using reagent chemicals for seawater substitutes were not biologically acceptable to Mytilus edulis embryos, in that calcification did not occur. When Leslie coarse hide salt was used as the source of NaCl for literature formulations, most formulas provided some success in the development, growth and...

Using parasite community data and population genetics for assessing Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) population structure along the west coast of North America

Creator:: Baldwin, Rebecca E. B.
Abstract:: Pacific sardines (Sardinops sagax) are an economically and ecologically important forage fish which transfer energy from planktonic primary producers and secondary consumers to upper trophic predators. Previous genetics studies of Pacific sardine suggested a panmictic population with a shallow genetic structure. However, more than one subpopulation within the Central California...

Factors influencing spawning site choice by female Garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus (Pisces: Pomacentridae)

Creator:: Sikkel, Paul C.
Abstract:: The garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus, is a sexually monochromatic pomacentrid found in rocky subtidal areas of Southern and Baja California. During the spawning season, males attempt to attract females to a nest of red algae located within individually defended territories. Females were observed to enter the nests of several males before...

Prey preference of lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus), a top marine predator : implications for ecosystem-based fisheries management

Creator:: Tinus, Craig A.
Abstract:: Many highly exploited ecosystems are managed on the basis of single-species demographic information. This management approach can exacerbate tensions among stakeholders with competing interests who in turn rely on data with notoriously high variance. In this case study, an application of diet and dive survey data was used to describe...

Structural Variations of Headwater Stream Food Webs Along Geophysical Gradients at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Zatkos, Lauren E.
Abstract:: The structure of food webs and how they relate to community stability has been an important debate in ecology. Specifically, predictability of web shape and how it influenced by surrounding landscapes is one of the main goals of such discussions. Headwater streams provide a study template that is of interest...

Gene expression in the liver of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, during the stress response

Creator:: Momoda, Tracey S.
Abstract:: The extent to which responses to stress are maladaptive or adaptive to the long-term survival of fish remains to be better understood. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes in the livers of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, responding to an experimental stressor. Gene expression responses were...
