Population Differentiation in two Northeastern Pacific Marine Species

O Criador:: Curran, Lorne Sullivan
Abstract:: Population genetic techniques are now preeminent in differentiating wild populations. Natural resource managers rely on them in their efforts to restore viable populations of fish and wildlife. Overfishing adversely impacted Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) on the U.S. West Coast in the late 20th century. Management actions included shutting down the...

An Analysis of Beliefs About Environmental Governance and Connection to Environmental Services and Disservices

O Criador:: Fleming, Whitney L.
Abstract:: The natural environment provides important services and benefits to peoples’ health and lives. Conversely, environmental disservices can have negative impacts on humans such as through pollution, chemical toxins, and climate change. The combination of environmental services and disservices encompass how human health and wellbeing, and the environment are connected. As...

Evaluating the Ecological Trade-Offs of Riparian Thinning for Stream Ecosystems in Second-Growth Redwood Forests of Northern California

O Criador:: Roon, David A.
Abstract:: Riparian forests provide a myriad of ecosystem functions for adjacent streams and rivers, and due to these linkages, changes in riparian forest conditions can have direct implications for stream ecosystems. Resource managers in the coast redwood forests (Sequoia sempervirens) of northern California (USA) are actively thinning second-growth stands to accelerate...

How Behavior, Physiology, and Ontogeny of Klamath Redband Trout Shape the Functionality of Habitats in a Landscape of Temperature Extremes

O Criador:: Hahlbeck, Nicholas J.
Abstract:: Climate change is a global phenomenon, but natural selection occurs within landscapes. A central tenet of landscape ecology is that mobile species depend on complementary habitats, which are insufficient in isolation, but combine to support animals through the full annual cycle. For coldwater fishes, it is widely assumed that maximum...

Beyond the Benthos: The effects of stream restoration on habitat complexity and aquatic and riparian macroinvertebrate assemblages

O Criador:: Lotz, Kelsey L.
Abstract:: Aquatic and riparian systems in the western United States have been highly modified by anthropogenic impacts since Euro-American settlement. Ecological restoration is a practice that has been widely conducted around the world to mitigate the degradation of these systems. The majority of stream restoration efforts have focused on improving in-stream...

Characterizing Microplastic Ingestion in Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) along the Oregon Coast

O Criador:: Lasdin, Katherine S.
Abstract:: Microplastics (<5mm diameter) are present in a considerable number of marine and aquatic species. Understanding which species, the global spatial distribution, and what quantities of microplastics are present is extremely important for understanding the potential impacts they could have on recreationally important organisms and for the assessment of risk. We...

Spatial Ecology and Species Interactions among Predators and their Prey

O Criador:: Ruprecht, Joel S.
Abstract:: Carnivores have disproportionate effects in ecological systems but understanding their exact influences on ecosystems is a matter of great complexity and debate. Predators directly impact prey by killing them, and indirectly by modifying their behavior in response to predation risk. Yet how species interact, both among members of a carnivore...

Influence of Oceanographic Conditions on Copepod (Calanus pacificus) Genetic Expression

O Criador:: Bynes, Kenya S.
Abstract:: RNAseq data among copepods (Calanus pacificus) were sampled and analyzed in relation to oceanographic and climatic conditions to determine if new information derived from such an approach might assist applications that use copepods as ecosystem indicators to predict fishery yields. These samples were taken as part of long-term studies conducted...

Maternal effects, the environment, and age structure: A mechanistic fine-scale approach to describe a complex set of factors contributing to larval growth and survival

O Criador:: Arnold, Linsey M.
Abstract:: The relationship between population characteristics and population productivity is fundamental to sustainable fisheries management, but predicting productivity remains a challenging task. Proposed mechanisms driving the variability in productivity at a given population size have included environmental and demographic factors related to the age structure of the population, but the broad-scale...

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

O Criador:: 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...
