Fish-habitat associations on a deep reef at the edge of the Oregon continental shelf

Creator:: Tissot, Brian N., Hixon, Mark Anthony, Barss, William, and Stein, David L.
Abstract:: Heceta Bank is a large reef on the edge of the central Oregon continental shelf that supports a wide variety of commercial fisheries. Using the research submersible Delta, we studied fish abundances on Heceta Bank and the relationship between species composition of fish assemblages and bottom types. Cluster analysis indicated...

Comparison of submersible-survey and hydroacoustic-survey estimates of fish density on a rocky bank

Creator:: Starr, Richard M., Fox, David S., Hixon, Mark Anthony, Tissot, Brian N., Johnson, Gary E., and Barss, William H.
Abstract:: Submersible belt-transect surveys along a rocky bottom were combined with acoustic surveys of the water column to estimate depth distribution and density of fishes at Stonewall Bank, Oregon in the northeastern Pacific Ocean from September through October 1991. The objectives of the study were to determine the proportion of fish...

Submersible observations of deep-reef fishes of Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Pearcy, William G., Stein, David L., Hixon, Mark Anthony, Pikitch, Ellen K., Barss, William H., and Starr, Richard M.
Abstract:: Rockfishes, Sebastes spp.. were the most numerous and speciose fishes seen during 16 submersible dives from 64 to 305 m depth in the vicinity of Heceta Bank off the coast of Oregon. Dense schools of juvenile rockfishes and large yellowtail rockfish, S. flavidus, were observed only over rocky, high relief...

On the evolution of correlated color traits in garter snakes

Creator:: Westphal, Michael F.
Abstract:: How complex traits evolve continues to be a major focus of evolutionary investigation. A current topic of debate is the hypothesis that the phenotypic integration of complex traits gives rise to evolutionary constraints. I studied two color traits in the common garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis, that show a high level...

A capture-recapture analysis of a mountain beaver population in western Oregon

Creator:: Lovejoy, Bill Pertl
Abstract:: This report summarizes the results of a field study of a population of the Pacific mountain beaver, Aplodontia rufa pacifica, from August 1965 through August 1967. The study site consisted of a 13. 5- acre grid on a logged over area in the Coast Range Mountains of Benton County, Oregon....

Nearshore distribution of barnacle and mussel larvae and oceanographic mechanisms of onshore transport and delivery

Creator:: Tyburczy, Joe A.
Abstract:: Recruitment of larvae from the plankton is an important determinant of community structure in marine systems. In populations of many marine species, recruitment determines the basic demographic parameters of immigration, emigration, and reproduction. Moreover, the effect of recruitment as an "ecological subsidy" can determine the strength of interactions among species...

Small mammal micro- and macrohabitat selection in streamside ecosystems

Creator:: Doyle, Arlene T.
Abstract:: During summer and fall of 1981 to 1983, mark-recapture was conducted in riparian and upland habitats within old-growth and mature forests in the Cascade Range of Oregon. Number of individuals and species richness were greater in riparian than upland habitat. For most species, the mean adult weights and the percentages...

Advancing marine reserve science : from field experiments to marine conservation planning tools

Creator:: Leslie, Heather M.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on science relevant to the design and implementation of marine reserves. The chapters explore a range of topics related to among-site variation in population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. My results demonstrate the value and feasibility of integrating this knowledge into more comprehensive conservation and management approaches. While...
