Abstract:: Changes in blood calcium and phosphorus concentrations were characterized for rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) following intense exercise or exposure to suspended volcanic ash or topsoil. Significant elevations in blood calcium and phosphorus accompanied exercise-induced acidemia in both S. qairdneri and O. kisutch. These elevations persisted...

Abstract:: Winters in north-temperate climates impose high thermogenic demands upon small birds which are met by seasonal acclimatization. This thesis investigates the extent and mechanisms of seasonal acclimatization in darkeyed juncos (Junco hyemalis) inhabiting western Oregon. Although insulation is significantly increased in winter, acclimatization is primarily metabolic. Increased metabolism is required...
